Radisson Blu Celebrates Its Continued Commitment to Free Internet

SINGAPORE, June 20, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia-AsiaNet/ –

Keeping Millions of Travelers Connected

Long committed to anticipating the needs of business and leisure travelers,
Radisson Blu hotels and resorts have been keeping guests connected with
complimentary in-room internet service across its properties worldwide as just
one of its ten brand hallmarks under the World of Radisson. Guests staying at
Radisson Blu hotels and resorts save as much as US$25 per day when compared to
hotels that continue to charge for internet connectivity.

"We understand the need to remain connected in this world where Blackberries,
smartphones and Kindles are a common necessity and therefore access to free
internet is no longer a privilege but a way of life across our hotels.
Facilitating guests to do business remotely or leisure travelers to tweet or
blog about their experiences all while enjoying on-line freedom has become a
cornerstone of the Radisson Blu brand," commented Lucinda Semark, executive
vice president, Revenue Generation, Asia Pacific, Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group.

The assurance of complimentary internet also makes Radisson Blu hotels and
resorts a popular choice for guests looking to host a conference or key event
where delegates and guests alike want to stay connected but at no extra cost.
As of July 2012, guests at the soon to be opened Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel
Hyderabad Banjara Hills in India, can enjoy connectivity on a whole new level
with complimentary in-car Wi-Fi when being chauffeured in any of the hotel’s
fleet of branded vehicles.

"At Radisson Blu hotels and resorts, we pay attention to the small things that
can enhance a guest’s experience. In keeping with knowing what our customers
want, free connectivity features as one of the top three criteria for guests
today. Offering complimentary internet is our best kept secret and has been for
many years. From June to December, we will be celebrating this pioneering
spirit with the launch of Turning the World Blu, a global brand campaign which
features free internet as one of our 10 key brand hallmarks," added Semark.
