FINANCIAL CONDITIONS:

  •  Cost of the trip and the stay: about 3.200 € per person for 50 participants with double room accommodation:

– In case we would not reach 50 participants, which seems unlikely given the enthusiasm of the first announcement, the final cost would be around 3.700€.

– For a single room, there will be a 20% increase in the cost compared to the double room rate.

  •  Payment: Deposit of 30% at registration, i.e. 960 €. Second deposit of 30% on 15/03. Balance on September 15 calculated according to the exact number of participants and taking into account three adjustment variables that may affect the final cost: the rate of the dollar, the cost of kerosene, and airport taxes.
