The objective of establishing IPA Houses is to provide cost-effective quality and friendly accommodation for all IPA members, their families and other visitors within a framework of a well-managed environment. Various properties in member countries serve as official IPA Houses that offer members accommodation at a reasonable price. Additionally, members have access to Other Accommodation at discounted rates for IPA members IPA Houses and Apartments stretch across the globe, from Belgium to Portugal, Australia to South Africa, Brazil to Hungary, Greece to Sweden, Denmark to Ireland, Poland to Germany, France to Spain. Definitions – IPA Houses and Other IPA Accommodation IPA Houses relate to IPA properties that are officially owned, leased or rented by IPA sections and / or their subdivisions and which have duly been designated as an IPA House in accordance with the Procedure for IPA Houses and Other Accommodation. • Each IPA House has its own rates for accommodation. IPA Sections uphold the principle that accommodation fees should be beneficial so as to motivate IPA members to utilise the Houses as often as possible. In addition, and in acknowledging the cost of operating IPA Houses and that not all Sections have the ability to operate official IPA Houses, many IPA sections offer Other IPA Accommodation. Other IPA accommodation relates to properties owned and managed by private persons / entities and / or IPA members. These are not officially recognised as IPA Houses. • At these Facilities accommodation for IPA members and their immediate dependents are offered at discounted rates. • Note is to be taken that the IPA is not responsible for reservations, maintenance or management of these facilities. Objective of the Book The “IPA Hosting Book” aims to provide information and contact details regarding official IPA Houses in operation within the various IPA Sections, as well as Other IPA Accommodation available in the respective Countries.
