Getting to the hotel

Q. Where is the nearest airport?

The nearest airport is Alicante. Many low-cost airlines and European holiday operators fly to this destination. Here is a list.

Q. How do I get from the airport to the hotel?

The journey by car is 40 minutes. Nearer the time, we will let you know about how you can book a place on a shuttle bus. We will arrange these during the main arrival and departure times. At all other times, there are taxis and an airport bus leaving every 15 min going to Benidorm. From there you will need to take a taxi (ca. 10€).

Conference Fee + (‘room choice’ multiplied by the ‘number of nights’) + transaction fees = Final Cost

Any cancellations made after 18 April cannot be refunded but the option will be given to ‘donate’ your ticket to someone else. All cancellations will incur a 10 € admin fee.

Pre-conference Retreat for Acts 29 Members and Candidates

Q. I’m an Acts 29- Member/Candidate, am I supposed to come a day earlier?

Yes, we are asking all members and candidates to arrive on Sunday, so we can spend 24hrs together on retreat. This will be a mixture of time to relax as well as a chance to share and ask questions.

You can arrive anytime throughout the day. You can check in to your room after 3 pm. The first organised event will be a get together at 5 pm.

Exhibiting at the conference

Q. Is it possible for our organisation to have a stand/booth at the conference?

We will allow a small number of exhibitors to have a stand at our conference. If you believe that you have something to share that could be a valuable resource for church-planters in Europe and you are in agreement with the core values of Acts 29, please send your request to europe@acts29.com
