TRAINS AND AIRPLANES TO GENEVA
This issue includes additional information on how to reach Geneva by train or airplane, so that we will be at least 15,000 strong for the manifestations of "Geneva 1997." We are not able to publish the prices because they fluctuate too often according to the type of ticket available and according to the quantity of people who are travelling together (travellers should inquire about group rates).
We would greatly appreciate if you would inform us how you will travel by sending us the "International Registry of participation" form with the appropriate information.
Good Work
