Introduction and Hotel Reservation:
The China International Conference Center for Science and Technology (CICCST) has prepaid and negotiated with a group of hotels listed in the table above for the 2012 The 3rd International Conference on Ocean Acoustics. Each hotel may have a different price. All the hotels are reserved on the "first come, first serve" principle. Because each hotel has agreed only to provide a limited number of rooms to the coming conference, it is advised to book the hotel you would wish to stay as early as possible.
To obtain the guaranteed hotel room rates listed in the table above, attendees should book the hotels through the hotel reservation website provided  below, "The Hotel Reservation for the 3rd International Conference on Ocean Acoustics". When booking hotels, please follow the procedures below (assuming you do not have password established  yet):
