Besides the continuation with the Golden Tulip Avegoor, Alfred de Bruijn will also spend time in product innovation initiatives in other hotels of our chain. The founder Alfred de Bruijn, who has created this unique hotel and restaurant, will stay on board with us as shareholder to integrate various Golden Tulip concepts in the hotel over time. This hotel brings yet another destination to our portfolio offering our brand and standards in over 59 cities in The Netherlands."

There is no doubt in my mind that this future has to be with a quality chain. Today in The Netherlands and Europe, Golden Tulip is the right answer. The respect for tradition and staff, mixed with state of the art management systems and formulas is making Golden Tulip the justified choice for the future. That applies for the hotel, the staff, the guests and myself."
