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.”
