(Upon arrival, proceed to baggage claim where there is a courtesy phone to call your
respective hotel for pick up. Please visit the information booth in the airport with any
questions around this process)

snacks, beverages, health club, gift shop, etc.) under no circumstance should be
included in the hotel bill. These expenses are considered personal expenses and
are to be paid by the consultant.
