Job Heilijgers, owner of the AHM Hotel Group, adds: �After succesfully franchising four of the seven hotels in AHM Hotel Group�s portfolio with Golden Tulip, we are very happy to include the Golden Tulip Berghotel Amersfoort and the Golden Tulip Rotterdam Airport Hotel to Golden Tulip Hotels, Inns & Resorts. From experience we know that we can expect the Golden Tulip franchise to add considerable value to the business of both two hotels, thus creating added-value for us as the owners and operators of both properties.�
