It will be held at Hotel Majorda and Goa Penta, Goa, from September 25 - 30, 1994. The hotel will be able to accommodate about 250 persons. Goa is an internationally known beach resort. It is a delight for swimmers, anglers, water sports buffs and sun bathers. Goa has a 110 km long beach (swim attire advised). The countryside of Goa has natural curiosities too. Unspoilt ecosystems, water falls from the western ghats, lakes, more than one hundred species of birds, wild life sanctuary are to name a few. Official Language The official Language of MEBC is English. There will be no simultaneous translation. Passports and Visas Foreign delegates should be in possession of valid passports or other valid travel documents and valid visas granted by the Indian Missions abroad. They must apply for conference visas to the Indian Mission abroad four months in advance. Official Conference agent Thomas Cook - India is the official agent to the ISMEBC'94 conference and will assist the delegates for all their requirements. Thomas Cook has network all over the world. Bombay is the nearest and convenient airport for foreign participants. Domestic airline services are available from Bombay to Goa. Delhi, is also connected to Goa by air. Train services are available from Bombay to Goa via Miraj (Miraj to Goa on Meter Gauge). Bus services are available from Bombay to Panaji, capital of Goa (17 hrs travelling time).
