LONDON, June 9, 2010 - A new partnership between leading German hotel group, Maritim and
TripAdvisor(R) will enable travellers on Maritim's website to benefit from
user reviews and ratings from the world's largest and most popular travel
community.

Maritim.com will feature TripAdvisor's content, including the five most
recent hotel reviews, on its property pages, allowing customers to make more
informed decisions based on fellow travellers' feedback.

Gerd Prochaska, Maritim's CEO, comments, "Research shows a
large percentage of potential clients place great value on unbiased consumer
opinion. With over 30 million reviews and over 34 million unique visitors
every month, TripAdvisor was the logical choice when deciding upon a partner
for online feedback".

Prochaska continues, "As one of Germany's largest hotel
groups, it is very important that we provide our national and international
cliental with the most credible name in the business. Our guests can now read
independent reviews of our hotels and post evaluations of their own. The
partnership is not only designed to show our guests how important their
opinions are to us, but it also provides us with the valuable information
necessary to improve our services even further."

"We are thrilled to be partnering with Maritim so their customers can
benefit from valuable insight and feedback from the experiences of millions
of travellers." said Sara Nanda, Senior Manager of European Partnerships,
TripAdvisor.
