8 February 2010 – In May, when participants from around the world arrive in Guaruja, São Paulo, Brazil for the 9th International Conference on Geosynthetics (9ICG), they’ll have many hotel beachfront hotel options. The conference organizers have announced that a local travel agency has arranged for special rates at more than just the conference hotel, the Sofitel Jequitimar Hotel.
Attendees may also choose from several hotels located at the beaches of Enseada and Pernambuco.
The organizers would like to remind attendees that reservations for these other hotels should be made through the event’s travel agency: the MILESSIS Tourism Agency. This will ensure the most convenient rates, which MILESSIS has already negotiated. Also, these hotels will offer free transportation to the event.
Booking by different means cannot guarantee the best rates or transportation services.
