Member Information

Please note that our tour rates and hotel reservations are all arranged based on double-occupancy rooms and rates; should you need a single occupancy room, we will make all necessary attempts to meet this request, but we may not be able to do so. Therefore, if selected, your participation will not be confirmed until arrangements have been made with the hotel.

Should you be approved to attend the event, in the case that we can accommodate this need, we will be billing individuals for a single room for all nights and charging the full hotel room fees to be covered in addition to the tour fee; we estimate this amount to range between $900-$1100 USD.
