Question 4

What happens after my application?

Accepted Answer

Once we receive your payment, we will get back to you with a short survey or a call to get to know your preferences for language and accommodation. As the trip gets closer, we will keep in touch with you again to confirm the trip, introduce the instructors, update you on the progress and communicate the full program.

Question 5

Shared room: Can I select who I will stay with ?

Accepted Answer

For shared rooms, we strongly recommend that you book with somebody you already know and are comfortable to share the room with. If you book a shared room alone, that means you accept to share your room with any other participant regardless of gender or age. With individual booking of a shared room, your booking can only be confirmed if there is another individual shared room reservation with us. Otherwise, depending on the time and availability, you have the option to upgrade to a private room reservation.

Question 6

Can I upgrade from shared room to private room later?

Accepted Answer

If you decide to upgrade to private room, the conditions depend on the timing of your decision, pending of course on the availability. Before the trip: Possible by paying the price difference at the time of your decision (e.g. if you bought an early bird ticket but decided to upgrade during normal prices, you pay the difference at normal prices). After the trip has started: If you decide to upgrade during check-in, if there is room available, you will have to pay the price difference plus 20% of your original payment as penalty.

Question 7

Will there be other people ?

No. This trip will be organized by and for Swiss Photo Club only.
