Please be advised that availability of five- and four-star hotel accommodation and suites in Prague is limited, and participants may therefore have to accept more modest accommodation if they wish to attend the Meetings.

As usual, the Joint Secretariat has reserved blocks of hotel sleeping rooms for official participants in the Annual Meetings - governors and member country delegations, representatives of Observer organizations, Special Guests to be invited by the Fund and the Bank accredited Press representatives, and Fund and Bank staff. Rooms will be assigned after the invitations have been issued (late Spring 2000) and attendance forms returned to the Joint Secretariat, in accordance with the accompanying instructions.

Other individuals who wish to attend the Meetings may apply to attend as Visitors. As in the past, the Joint Secretariat is unable to assist Visitors with hotel accommodation. However, the Czech Authorities have appointed an agency to assist Visitors with their hotel requirements. In this regard, all requests for hotel accommodation for Visitors should be referred directly to the following agency:
