3.4.1 Hotel accommodation

For the initial period of arrival, the CO should identify and book suitable hotels for incoming personnel, considering the following:

• All CARE staff should be accommodated in the same hotel or closely located hotels.
• It may be necessary to make a block booking if staff is regularly coming and going.
• The administration manager should negotiate arrangements with the hotel management to ensure a good rate for CARE and guarantee that rooms will be available at short notice.
• The hotel must be suitable, secure and close to CARE’s office and other facilities.
• The hotel should have telecommunication and internet connectivity.
