Travel Guide
Nov 18 thru 23, 2021
Participants have two options for travel - you can either book your own hotels or book a travel package through the tour. Below you will find our 2021 hotel partners for each location. We have secured room blocks with each hotel, thus if you are booking on your own we encourage you to book with these hotels as hotel options are a bit limited in these locations.
If you are traveling via a tour provided travel package these are the hotels you will be staying at each night.
If you want more info regarding travel please don't hesitate to contact us.
