INSTRUCTIONS FOR ROOM BOOKING AND CONFIRMATION PRE-PAYMENT OF 50%

Before July 15th you are required: 

- book the room through a dedicated website of the “Intermeeting Sud” Agency 
- pay 50% of its cost by bank transfer, within 5 days from your booking as detailed below.  
 
The remaining due balance will be paid at your arrival at the Hotel check-in desk. In the absence of 50% pre-payment, your booking will be cancelled and you will not be entitled to attend the Workshop. In order to proceed with booking and pre-payment, please first read carefully the accommodation rates and the cancellation policy, reported at the end of this page. 

How to book your room and confirm it by pre-paying 50% of its cost

Go to the dedicated Agency webpage: 
https://www.bookingnow2024.intermeetingsud.com  
and fill all the required information about your stay. After you finish and confirm, you will receive an email from the agency, AgencyNOW2024@intermeetingsud.com with instructions about how to pay 50% of the room cost. Note that you might receive this email with some delay (e.g., 10’) after booking completion.   
  
You have then up to five days to make your Bank (wire) Transfer to the Basiliani Hotel Bank account indicated in the Agency email. [Note that the Hotel bank account is different from the Agency bank account for the fee.] A pdf copy of the transfer must be sent by email to the Agency address:  AgencyNOW2024@intermeetingsud.com    

If five days expire with no payment, the room reservation will be cancelled.  

For any enquiry, please refer to:  AgencyNOW2024@intermeetingsud.com    

Note: The Intermeeting Sud Agency will also take care of your transportation by bus/shuttle to/from the Hotel from/to the Brindisi airport or the Lecce train station during the whole Workshop (if you do not travel with your own car), based on your detailed arrival and departure information, that you should send to the Agency by email well in advance. The shuttle transportation plan will be sent to the interested participants a few days before the start of the Workshop. Notice that the shuttle transfer time takes ~1h20’ from/to the airport, and ~45’ from/to the train station. The NOW 2024 shuttle service will be free of charge, while private taxi services would be very expensive.
