HOTEL INFORMATION - IMPORTANT!
There is no meeting hotel for this Interim. The ITU has provided a link
to
hotels that give preferred rates to ITU participants here:
ITU Preferential Hotels
http://www.itu.int/travel/accommodations.asp?lang=en
Participants are responsible for selecting and booking their own hotel.
These hotels typically do not advertise the ITU hotel rate. You will
need to
ask for it. It has been suggested that you narrow your search down to 5
or
10 likely hotels, and send telephone, email or FAXes to confirm the ITU
rates and availability. You should locate a prospective hotel on a map
to
see how far it is from ITU headquarters. Bus, train, taxi, light rail
and
walking are all transportation options depending upon the hotel
location.
There is no one to call for help with hotels. Participants are on their
own.
TRANSPORTATION INFORMATION
Every visitor to Geneva receives a free Geneva Transport Card from their
hotel at check-in. This card provides unlimited use of the entire
public-transportation network.
MEETING REGISTRATION
