The websites were set live during Golden Tulip's 45th Annual Conference by Hans
Kennedie, President & CEO of Golden Tulip Hospitality Group.

Hans Kennedie, President & CEO of Golden Tulip Hospitality comments: "Golden Tulip
recognizes the importance of having an accessible and inviting web environment. We
are positive that the new improved websites will serve not only our guests but
respond to the needs of our stakeholders on all levels and functions. The new
corporate website will aid existing and prospective owners in exploring hotel
opportunities with Golden Tulip"

Riko van Santen, Vice President of Electronic Distribution & ICT of Golden Tulip
Hospitality adds: "Although we gave our brand website a significant overhaul just
over a year ago, we felt that as the pace in which technology evolves gets faster,
there are many new gains we can achieve both technically and commercially.
Considering how Web 2.0 is maturing, and how social networking has taken a firm
place within the modern generation, our new web platform will be ready to further
integrate with such services and operating models of the future."

In the first quarter of 2008, also the individual hotel websites will undergo the
transformation from the old format to the new exciting one.
