What a headache!

Planning a major activity can be a total headache if you’re not a resident of the city hosting the event. For example, you’re planning an event where companions and partners are invited but won’t be taking part. You want them to have fond memories of their visit. As you know, every destination has its special features and events throughout the year. So…ask the folks who live there!

But those meetings involve consumption, and the participants sometimes leave large footprints…as even the eco-sceptical would probably recognize.

Make sure you read the whole contract…

In the past several years, many hotels have modified the standard contracts they send their clients. These contracts nowadays are written by lawyers, and they contain certain clauses which can be quite technical…and not always easy to understand the first time you read them.
