Air tickets

The CC@B will bear airline tickets only for foreign participants. The selected ones will receive a form to be filled with data about the flight route to be addressed to the IMF's trip agency, TBIZ, who mediates the purchase and sale of air tickets.

Accommodation

CC@B will arrange for the foreign participants a reservation in a three star hotel, whose location and other information will be provided upon confirmation of participation.

Transport

All participants must bear the airport-hotel cost transportation. It is recommended to get an official taxi available at the airport, whose average cost is R$ 60.00 (US$ 20.00).

CC@B offers daily shuttle from the hotel to the venue and return, for the entire duration of the course, only for foreign participants. The departure time on the first day will be at 8:00, while on the other days will be 8:30. Please be advised that the bus will not return to retrieve participants who have stayed in the hotel.

We emphasize that there will be a bilingual receptionist who will assist in the transport and other administrative procedures.

Any other expenses during the course will be the participant's responsibility.
