would pay hotel, meals, and other incidentals. For the three
conference days, the organisers will be paying for the hotel
accommodation and lunches, therefore for those days participants
will only receive 38% of DSA or the equivalent of US$41.42 per
day. On arrival at Nadi airport, participants shall please proceed
to the ANZ bank branch at the arrivals lounge to collect their DSA.
|
Participants should note that the organisers are paying for the
room and lunch at the Tanoa International Hotel for the three days
of the conference. Please
note that breakfast is not included. Whereas the organisers are
paying for room and lunch, any other expenses incurred (breakfast,
dinner, bar bills, phone bills, laundry and other incidentals)
will have to be settled by the participants while checking out of
the hotel. The DSA is being provided to cover for such expenses.

The
electrical current in Fiji is 240 volts AC 50 Hz. Fiji has three
pin power outlets identical to Australia and New Zealand. If your
applications are 110v check for a 110/240v switch; if there is
none you will need a voltage converter. Leading hotels and resorts
offer universal outlets for 240v or 110v shavers, hair dryers,
etc.
