2015-20162

The MBA Tour was founded in 1993,

and made its inaugural tour in Latin America. A region in the early

90s fast turning to privatization, and the demand for managers

who could lead the transition and manage enterprises in a

competitive environment was huge and unmet. The first tour had

fairs, meetings, and workshops, and focused more on dialogue

with candidates. The return for participating schools was very

high. Many things have changed in the 20 years we have organized

tours. Technology has made it possible for anyone with internet to

find information about business schools, but our foundations have

remained the same; facilitating personal interaction and connecting

talented prospective MBA students and business schools through

our tours. We take pride in ensuring schools can focus on recruiting

prospective students and supporting our travelers throughout the

entire tour with logistics, introductions to key contacts in local

markets, and event support.

LATIN AMERICA SPRING TOUR

PAYMENT AND CANCELLATION POLICYDeposit/Invoicing: Registrations received prior to November 15, 2015 will reserve a USD 1,500 deposit invoice per tour, to secure the early bird pricing. Registrations will be sent full balance invoices. All invoices are due upon receipt, and payment must be received prior to the event, to avoid a USD 325 late fee, per event. If a school fails to pay the full balance prior to any conference, the MBA Tour reserves the right to restrict the university from downloading attendee pre-or post registration files.

Cancellation: The school agrees that if it cancels its participation between 90 and 60 days prior to the start of the tour, 25% of the tour /event fees will be charged. If a school cancels its participation within 60 days prior to the start of a tour, 100% of the tour /event fees will be charged. Furthermore, the school will reimburse The MBA Tour, INC for all loss, liability, damages, and expenses which The MBA Tour, INC incurs or sustains as a result of a cancellation of participation by the school at any time after the non-refundable USD 1,500.00 deposit is due.

Option Payments: Once a university representative has signed up for “options” (extra activities, professional or cultural) on a tour, that person is committed to paying any fees associated with that option. If a representative wants to cancel their participation in a paid option, they cannot receive a refund if pre-payment has been required for that option. If payment is not received for the selected option, the representative will not be allowed to participate.

Credits: Any credits acquired during the 2015-2016 tour seasons must be used by March 2016. Outstanding credits will not be carried over to the summer/fall 2016 season.
