The visit is organized by ARTAS (Association of Sugar Cane Technologists of Réunion) which is affiliated to ISSCT. 

The cost of the organization of these two days, as far as transport and meals are concerned, will be entirely met by ARTAS, with the support of its local partners, professionals and institutions. 

Participants will have to bear the costs of their air ticket to Réunion, as well as the two hotel nights. 

For air travel there are two airlines in operation between Mauritius and Réunion, namely Air Mauritius and Air Austral.  It is possible to combine the outward and inward flights on either of the two airlines. 

For travel to Réunion the flights available are MK 228 (arriving in Réunion at 08h40 or UU 103 (arriving in Réunion at 10h05). 

The hotel night will be 133Є single room and 178Є double room (i.e. 89Є per person). 

Please note that all visitors requiring an entry visa for France will need one for Réunion .  They should therefore contact the French Embassy in their country or the nearest French Consulate, specifying that they are not visiting Metropolitan France but RÉUNION
