Catering and Accommodation are the sole responsibility of the participants.

Travel, Accommodation and Exclusivity Clauses:

1- Accommodations and touring services for participants (and accompanying persons) to the event are available through official travel agents and tour operators authorized as official providers by the organizer Soprano Events Ltd. These agents and operators have secured the hotel room allocations for the event, as well as the legally required insurance coverage, liability protection and all other requirements.

As official providers, the agents and tour operators have the exclusive right to make individual tour offers to participants including the official “Event Package”.

Participants will be provided with a “Participant Information” booklet. The organizer will pass on the choirs’ contact information to the official providers.

2- For security and event management purposes, participation in the event requires that accommodations for the event are booked exclusively through the selected and authorized travel agents. This is an exclusive condition and is part of the general rules for participation. Exceptions and exemptions must be confirmed in writing by the organizing committee. Choral organizations not in compliance with this requirement will forfeit all fees paid and the right to compete in the event.

3- Registration for the event is legally binding for the participant in terms of obligations to the authorized travel agents.

A travel agreement becomes legally binding once the travel agent confirms the registration. Registration fees are non-refundable.

4- Participation in the event will only be possible if all fees and the Event Package (including agency costs for tourism services) have been paid in full and without deductions. The organizer reserves the right to deny permission to participate in the event to any choral organization not in compliance with these terms. Costs arising out of any such situations will be at the participants’ expense.
