Press Release Body = Galloway Township, NJ, March 27, 2006 - New service calculates
room rate plus applicable taxes, surcharges and any fees before guests complete
reservations. Travelers can put away their calculators, pencils and paper. Marriott
International, Inc. is helping eliminate uncertainty about the total price of guest
rooms at all of its more than 2,700 hotels worldwide with the launch of Total Trip
Pricing.

As every seasoned traveler knows, there can be an array of taxes and government
surcharges added to your bill. While many travel web sites just list these by
percentages in the small print for the traveler to figure out, Marriott's Total Trip
Pricing does the math for you. It eliminates guesswork by factoring in all
applicable taxes, surcharges and any fees in an easy-to-read, line-by-line layout
before customers complete their online reservations. In addition, Total Trip
Pricing is also available when calling the company's toll-free reservations line, by
contacting a hotel directly or through selected travel agents.

"As part of our recently launched Spirit to Serve Our Guests initiative, we want to
ensure that our guests are as fully informed as possible about the actual price of a
guest room, including taxes, before they make reservations with us," said Amy
McPherson, executive vice president, Sales and Marketing, Marriott International.
"Total Trip Pricing will remove much of the uncertainty in planning and budgeting
for a family's vacation or upcoming business trip by making pricing more
transparent."

The addition of Total Trip Pricing is one of many customer-focused enhancements
Marriott has made to the travel planning and booking process. On Marriott.com, the
company's increasingly popular web site with $2.7 billion gross revenues in 2005,
travelers can view thousands of hotel and resort photographs, as well as book
separate air travel reservations. Just recently, the Customer Respect Group
recognized Marriott.com for its treatment of online customers, ranking it best in
the travel industry.
