    "Happy ending" in Manchester? For such money it should be for hours instead of just the ending...

    Meanwhile if the pricing allows only hoteliers to attend... I think we should arrange a demonstration with transparents like: "THE YOUTH MARKET IS FOR HOSTELS!" and "HOSTELLING IS A LIFESTYLE!!!" or "STAY AWAY FROM THE YOUTH!" once a while we can take a 15 minute break in a nearby pub and enjoy the REAL HAPPY HOURS... two pints for a price of one, anyone?

    I wonder how many hostels go. (Not just booking engines.) $2400 is lot of money for 3.5 days.

    Who attends:

    83% of WYSTC attendees hold top-level positions. Decision-makers from the world's leading and most respected organisations in youth, student and educational travel and the industries that support them, in addition to state, national, regional and non-governmental tourism organisations.

    Those prices are aimed more at hostel chains than individual hostels.

    Ok, maybe I should have written "a VERY RICH hostel chain"

    Is it a nonprofit organization?
