Please note that the form below concerns only accreditation itself.
Hotels
The accreditation confirmation email will contain a registration code
which will allow you to book a hotel room. Once you have the registration
code, choose a hotel on the list available on the Mexican
Organizing Committee website and ring that hotel, giving your registration
code. If you encounter any difficulty contact Jonathan Crespi (Email:
[email protected] Tel: +52 55 54 88 28 60 ext.2503)
or Carlos Camacho (Email: [email protected] Tel: +52 55 54 88 28 60 ext.2512).
Entry requirements
for Mexico
There is an important new requirement for entry into Mexico which
concerns most people who are participating in the Cancún Ministerial
Conference. Please check the website of the Mexican
Organizing Committee (pdf format, 3 pages 73KB). Journalists
should refer to the section on “Correspondents documentation”.
Press centre
There will be a media centre for journalists in the Cancún Convention
Centre. The media centre will include free working spaces — a working
space is composed of a chair, a table, a personal computer or a lap-top
plug, a phone, access to a printer, access to a fax, access to a photocopy
machine — and media booths. Media booths are rented space for radio, television
and news agencies. If you require a booth, fill in the media booth form
on the Mexican
Organizing Committee website.
Badges
Badges and press kits will be issued in Cancún upon presentation of your
passport.
Cancellations
It is not necessary to inform the WTO if you can no longer attend. Simply
cancel your hotel reservation directly with the hotel.
