Participants are advised to obtain insurance coverage either at their own, their organization's or their government's expense, against costs arising out of sickness, accident (including particularly the cost of medical attention), temporary or permanent disability, death and third-party risks, covering the entered duration of the Forum and travel time.

  Allowances & payments
In accordance with the decision of the Governing Body of the ILO and standard rules, the ILO will provide return travel (economy class) and a daily allowance for official delegates.

 Daily subsistence allowance

A daily allowance to cover accommodation and the costs of the meals within the duration of the Forum will be paid to participants. Daily subsistence allowance will be provided to the official delegates and distributed on 8 October 2003 and will be paid in New Zealand Dollars. Currently the allowance is NZ$275 per day, however, this may change depending on exchange rates at the time of the Forum.

 Travel

The ILO will provide a round-trip economy class air ticket on the most direct route to the official delegates.
In order to have sufficient time to arrange the tickets, nomination forms are requested on or before the 17 September 2003.
In the event that time does not permit the issuing of a pre-paid ticket, during the Forum, the ILO will reimburse the costs of the most direct route economy class ticket and only on the presentation of the official bill/receipt.

 Payment of accounts

All delegates and observers will pay directly their hotel bills, local transport, travel and airport taxes and any other incidental costs they incur at the forum or during their journey.

Visa requirements
Delegates requiring entry visas for New Zealand will need to obtain these prior to their departure. However, due to changing circumstances all delegates are asked to check with their New Zealand Embassy for details on entry visas and the requirements.

Travel from airport to Hotel
Taxis are available outside the Airport International Terminal. The recommended Taxi Company is Auckland Co-op Taxis and the expected Fare is approximately NZ$30 - $40. You are advised to have NZ$ with you for the taxi fares.

 Weather
In October, the weather in Auckland is unpredictable. Temperatures average 9 - 12 degrees Celsius at night and 16 - 22 degrees during the day. Shuttle Vans are also available at the Airport and the expected fare is approximately NZ$20 -$30 per person arrangements for departure from the hotel to the airport at the end of the forum will be made with each delegate at the Forum.
