Ongoing Study Across North America Confirms Website Satisfaction Continues to Grow at Radisson Hotels & Resorts

New York, NY – May 12, 2004 – Radisson Hotels & Resorts today released results from an
ongoing web analytics study measuring user satisfaction and site effectiveness.

The study, conducted over almost 14 months, confirms without a doubt that the
Radisson online brand continues to maintain a strong position in an extremely
competitive sector and that visitors to their site are now more than ever, quite
comfortable about making online reservations directly via the web site.

Radisson’s recently launched "Internet Lowest Rate Guarantee" is a direct result
of this ongoing customer service initiative to listen and respond to the needs
and wants of web site visitors. Using this study as a benchmark for future efforts,
Radisson plans to include additional promotions and incentives to encourage their
loyal guests to make reservations directly at their site as opposed to using third
party online services.

"Obtaining a better understanding of our online guest’s web experience helps
us ensure their time spent on our site is productive and meaningful", said Dawn
Hepper, Manager, Brand Web Sites for Carlson Hotels Worldwide. And if that experience
is positive, we know they will return," said Ms Hepper. "iPerceptions has confirmed
for us that visitors to our site continue to like what they see and that’s very
good news for us and our guests".

"Partnering with industry leaders like Radisson Hotels who understand the vast
potential of the web is what makes our work so enjoyable" said Daniel Taras, Vice
President and Sector Specialist at iPerceptions Inc. Our analysis of user activity
on Radisson Hotels & Resorts branded web site is providing their team with
insights and information that will help them enhance their user’s overall experience
as well as provide input and direction on how to increase their look to book ratio,
said Mr. Taras." This is win-win for everyone.
