I suggest to give the possibility to invited people to book at least the flight by them selves.

For this reason: last year the agency proposed me a flight that costed about 450€. I was able to book flight by myself and I payed it only 150€.

With all this money you save, more people can be sponsored.

About the hotel well... I agree with you. I think that if the agency book more rooms we can have a better discount.

The important thing is that sponsored people organize in group of 2 or 3 people to save more money. One single room usually costs more compared to 2-3 people sharing a room with 3 single beds.

What do you think about?
