If you need an invitation letter from the ISAAC 2006 organizing committee for visa purposes, please write to the organizing chair at isaac06@isical.ac.in.
Flight Reservations: Flights to India tend to fill up well ahead of the December holiday season. We recommend that you make your flight reservations 45-50 days in advance, to be on the safe side. For travel in Kolkata, see the travel page.
Foreign Exchange: While international credit cards are widely accepted in commercial establishments in India, several places rely on cash transactions in the local currency (Indian Rupee). We suggest that you either carry some Indian currency when entering India or purchase Indian currency at the currency exchange agencies at the Indian airports, upon arrival. The current exchange rate is about Rs. 45/- per US dollar. Once in India, you can purchase additional Indian currency from local branches of Citibank, Thomas Cook, etc. However, it is typically difficult to convert Indian currency back into foreign currency because of exchange regulations.
Room Reservation: Special rates are available from Hotel Taj Bengal for registered delegates of ISAAC 2006 for the period December 17-21, 2006. Rates applicable till October 31, 2006. For details, see http://www.isical.ac.in/~isaac06/accommodation.html
A limited number of student accommodation at the students hostel of Indian Statistical Institute is available. The institute is far from Hotel Taj Bengal, and the accommodation is not much furnished. But the rate is nominal. The deserving students are advised to apply for such accommodation at isaac06@isical.ac.in with Accommodation in the Subject Heading of the e-mail.
