If you are selected for this media trip, your cost will be $50. This money goes directly to support the income goals of this organization. No money goes to the host or IFWTWA coordinators. Activity and restaurant tips are generally paid for by the host, however, you may want to bring additional money to tip other entities such as the hotel maid service.
