Lisbon International Convention

DGE Gary Trail has asked me to pass on the following information: 

We have picked our official District hotel for the Rotary International Convention in Lisbon, Portugal for next June 2013.

From what we can tell, many of the reasonably priced hotels are already booking up quickly and therefore we, we have been unable to secure a block of rooms.

If you are even thinking of going to the convention, we urge you to book your room NOW!   You can make the reservation and cancel it at no cost.

Here is the link to the hotel:http://www.ibishotel.com/gb/hotel-3137-ibis-lisboa-liberdade/index.shtml

We have also created a facebook group to for this trip, so if you would like to join it just go to:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/382985975090291/ and request to join the group.

Getting to Lisbon and Pre & Post Convention Tours

For flights to Lisbon, we have found that SATA Airlines www.sata.pt and Air Transat www.airtransat.ca  are the cheapest way to go.  Or if you wish, you could travel Air Canada www.aircanada.ca . Just click on the websites to book your flights.

There are also many great pre & post tours available. To find these just click on the following website www.lisboa2013.org  Once on the site, type in the word tours in the search box which will take you to HOC Events & Tours and then click on Local Events.

By far the best deal I have found out there is with Rotarian Terri Brophy who has seats blocked off with Air Transat that are well below (more than $100.00) what you would pay if booking direct.  You can contact Terri at terri@terristravel.com

Hope to see you all in Lisbon!
