Hello,
Thank you for your email and services. Indeed my colleagues have come back and are very satiesfied with their visit.
Also we have learned the lesson and knowing that we may be going to the IBC2020, we are thinking of making a very early booking. Is that possible?
What options you can provide, it can include the Olympic Hotel, as they were satisfied, but also other similar options close to RAI.
Looking forward to your answer,
Ieva
