The brand's momentum shows no signs of slowing down; there are nearly 30 hotels already in the pipeline for 2016. "Mexico is the perfect market for Baymont's international expansion – it's a powerful world economy with robust domestic travel demand and consistently ranks as one of the most popular destinations for U.S. outbound travel," said Greg Giordano, vice president of operations for Baymont Inn & Suites.
