What is the process for booking hotels?

YMUN Brasil is excited to announce our partnership with two hotels: Royal Tulip and Golden Tulip. Delegates can purchase rooms either independently or through the YMUN Brasil platform to receive a discount. When purchasing through the platform, advisors can choose to either purchase a basic package that does include a hotel or a registration and hotel room bundle. The Gold Package includes a room at the Golden Tulip. The Royal Package includes a room at the Royal Tulip. We encourage advisors to book all their delegates into one hotel.
