With regards to the a. m. congress and its cancellation due to security reasons, we unfortunately have to inform you that the hotels in Istanbul insisted on charging cancellation fees.
By contract they were also in the position to do so since no governmental travel warning was issued. Anyway, we achieved at least 8 % discount on accommodation that we will share fairly with all countries.
The good news is that we will not have to charge you with hospitality fees or transfers since our partner agency made concessions here.
An individual cost information will follow for each country from my end later today.
