- you will take care of all the travel arrangements - book flight, hotel, etc and ICLEI will reimburse you after sending out all the invoices and boarding passes resulted from the trip;
- the maximum amount to be reimbursed will be of 600 euros;
- accommodation costs (at economy rate) for a maximum number of 2 nights;
- only travel arrangements at economy rate and for the cheapest available flights or trains can be reimbursed;
- you can either book your tip via a travel agency or via internet using booking websites;
- you need to send the original invoices via post to us after the event
- in the case of online bookings: we need the paper invoice from the hotel (not the confirmation from for example booking.com) and invoice + original boarding passes of the tickets. Or if that is lacking the 'declaration of honor' and printed versions. This is explained in the attached file.
Please keep all invoices, receipts and boarding passes!
