Black Friday arrived to Medellin 2016

Medellín, November 26, 2015

Dear Bridge players of all over the world

It is a real pleasure to announce today, in the name of Federación de Clubes de Bridge de COLOMBIA and in the name of the Organizing Committee of the 6th South American Bridge Festival, to be played in MEDELLIN from May 27 to June 04, 2016, that we have decided to apply a significant reduction to the hotel tariffs that were previously announced.

Two factors have made this decision possible, the exchange rate between US currency and the Colombian Peso and better conditions in the final agreement with the Intercontinental Hotel.

The single room tariff is now US$125 vs. US$155 per night, including breakfast, taxes and insurances.

The double room tariff is now US$150 vs. US$185per night, including breakfast, taxes and insurances.

The tariff per person in a double room will be only US$75 per night.

These new tariffs will be applied to all players confirmed as of February 28, 2016

MEDELLIN and the Organizing Committee are looking forward to host you during the tournament that, hopefully, will be remembered with joy by all participants.

Cordially

Santiago Londoño White

President of the Organizing Commitee
