Many hotels will offer special-value room rates several days before and after the 2014 Expo. The reduced rates at participating hotels will be 20 to 25 per cent lower than their rates during the show. Along with reduced rates, a variety of other value-added offers will be available. Depending on the hotel, they include reduced parking fees, meal discounts in their restaurants, discounted or free internet service, extra Skymiles and points, and upgrades. To take advantage of the reduced rates and other value-added offers, the IPPE organisers encourage everyone to use the hotels in the convention room block.
