Hotel booking information will be available on the NPE website (www.npe.org) in February. Visitors will be able register over the web and pay their deposit online using a credit card. These hotel bookings are managed through the NPE 2000 Housing Bureau, which requires a deposit of U.S.$175.00 per room before any reservation will be processed. You can reach the Bureau by telephone at 703/205-2975 or fax 703/205-0235.
You can book a hotel yourself, but may not be able to get the same rate as through the housing bureau.
