Radisson Blu Hotel, Dubai Deira Creek Acquires Green Globe Status

BRUSSELS, November 24, 2010 - Radisson Blu's property in Dubai, the Dubai Deira Creek Hotel has been
awarded Green Globe Certification.

The luxury hotel in Dubai (
www.radissonblu.com/hotel-dubaideiracreek/rooms), which originally
opened in 1975, was officially recognized for its environmentally friendly
practices after consulting Dubai-based sustainability experts Farnek Avireal
which paved the way and brought the Dubai hotels (
www.radissonblu.com/hotel-dubaideiracreek), existing green policies
through Responsible Business to meet the exacting certification standards.

Chief Engineer Arthur Rodrigues said: "The Green Globe Certification
Audit is based on a number of environmental factors, in all we had 250 points
to address. Some of the inefficient old and high-power consuming
air-conditioning equipment was replaced, coupled with the energy saving
wheel, which cools hot air drawn from outside, before passing it through the
hotel chillers. It is always more challenging for an older property to attain
such rigorous standards, but considering that, it is so much more rewarding
to be recognised for our achievements."

The Green Globe brand and programme, has primarily been used in the
travel and tourism industry but is now being expanded to include a growing
number of environmentally responsible businesses in a variety of market
sectors. The GGC stamp of approval is an ideal symbol for the world's
increasing awareness of environmental responsibility and response to global
climate change.

"We had already completed a number of sustainability initiatives, such as
energy and resource saving, the use of biodegradable chemicals and recycling
initiatives, but achieving Green Globe status will now have a positive effect
on every aspect of the hotel operation," added Rodrigues.
