André Rieu Presents "GreenKey" to "Golden Tulip"
September 5, 2011: Hotel Owner Benoit Wesly and hotel director Dirk Beljaarts of the Golden Tulip Apple Park Hotel Maastricht were surprised by André Rieu this past Friday when he presented them the coveted Greenkey Certificate.
Concert in Winter Atmosphere
Just prior to this, André Rieu, his Johann Strauss Orchestra and a select group of invited guests were involved with the recordings of a Christmas special to be broadcast by ZDF. The garden and the castle of André Rieu were transformed into a winter atmosphere. After this wonderful concert, where the guests were dressed up completely in winter coats and scarves in 28 ( 82 F) degree weather, the coveted Greenkey certificate was presented. As the namesake of the André Rieu Hotel (Golden Tulip Apple Park Maastricht) he wanted to present the certificate. In front of the Johann Strauss Orchestra and guests, the surprised hoteliers accepted the Green Key certificate.
Special Night
Dirk Beljaarts (director of Golden Tulip Apple Park Maastricht) responds: "This was suppose to have been a 'normal' concert evening, which turned out to be very special indeed. It is an honor and special surprise that André presented us with the Green Key certificate. We know that André really appreciates a sustainable commercial enterprise, but this we did not expect".
