The conference will be held in the Hotel Melia Varadero, Varadero, Cuba.
The participants are expected to arrive directly to Varadero on April, 10.
Hotel Melia Varadero is located beachfront, next to the Plaza America Convention Center and the Varadero Golf Club. A Five-Star All Inclusive Resort with 490 rooms. Its architectural design recreates a seven-petal flower crowned with a translucent dome which illuminates the spacious lobby decorated with tropical plants and flowers.
Varadero, the Cuban tourist resort par excellence is located in Matanzas province. It is internationally renowned for its matchless beauty and quality of its beach.
Early Registration deadline is March 25th, 2022
After deadline (March 25th) price will be €800
After deadline (March 25th) price will be €700
After deadline (March 25th) price will be €400
The Cuban monetary system is that Cuba uses the official currency: the CUP (Cuban Peso).
Cuban money is not available for exchange outside of Cuba, so you have to stop by a currency exchange office once you arrive (and don’t forget to exchange your extra Cuban currency before you leave!). You can exchange your currency at banks, hotels, and government currency exchange centers (CADECA). CADECA offices are located in airports, hotels, resorts, and shopping centers. CADECA offices are the safest and most reliable places to exchange currency.
To stay in Cuba it is only necessary to have a TOURIST VISA. For more information, we strongly recommend that you contact the consulate offices of your home country.
Please be aware that some of our participants have been contacted by some companies that offer hotel booking service for the conference. They ask for financial details to book rooms in hotels near the conference venue. We wish to highlight the fact that these companies are in no way affiliated with the MIFP, they might not be trustworthy and we advise you to be cautious in passing any of your details, any signed forms or any financial information on to them or to other companies that might contact you offering deals on hotel rooms.
