CALGARY, Canada, March 14, 2007. Guest-Tek Interactive Entertainment Ltd., ("Guest-Tek") (TSX: GTK), a leader in providing broadband technology solutions to the global hospitality industry, today announced it has completed an agreement (the "Agreement") to provide OneView Internet service and support as the brand standard to all corporate owned Hyatt PlaceTM hotels. Guest-Tek began deploying its solution to Hyatt Place sites last week and anticipates completing the entire rollout by the end of the calendar year.
Hyatt Place was specially designed to help guests remain more relaxed, productive and fulfilled while traveling. To help achieve this, Hyatt Place offers complimentary Wi-Fi access throughout the hotel. Guests can choose to take advantage of this in their spacious guestroom, stretching out on the signature Hyatt Grand BedTM or on the Cozy Corner, an eight-foot sectional sofa-sleeper.
Guests can also choose to utilize Wi-Fi access in the Gallery, an innovative welcoming area featuring contemporary design and a comfortable, coffeehouse vibe. Here guests can work on their laptop in a variety of seating areas while enjoying a freshly prepared entr'ee, a Starbucks(R) specialty coffee or glass of premium wine or beer. "Technology has become a mandatory part of the travel experience. Our guests are living a 24/7 lifestyle with no separation between their personal and professional time, so it's critical to provide them with the technology that allows them to continue that lifestyle while traveling," stated Jim Abrahamson, senior vice president, Hyatt Corporation. "Guest-Tek was selected as our standard solution because of their ability to help Hyatt Place consistently deliver that technology to our guests."
"Guest-Tek is very pleased to continue our relationship with Hyatt Hotels in supporting the new Hyatt Place brand." Noted Arnon Levy, chief executive officer of Guest-Tek. "Our reputation for the best support in the industry has been built up slowly over 10 years of investment and development - we are proud to be an integral part of the technologically advanced Hyatt Place brand."
