Just to clarify,
a) my comment was not about how we accommodate people who pay (although
it is a valid issue for discussion), it was purely about whether the fee
should be linked to the actual bed/meal costs
b) the budget analysis was also not speculating about how many people
will actually pay, it appears to be more of an `expenditure' analysis
only. The issue of revenue and how many will pay the fee is very
interesting.
It may be worth surveying those people who paid the fee in the last 2 years:
- do they prefer to only pay `actual per-person cost', or paying a full
600 CHF is OK for them?
- what do they think about the accommodation proposals? As they are the
ones paying, these people should be listened to very closely when
choosing between Interlaken and Le Camp.
- would they prefer to pay a lower fee (meals only, for example) and
sleep off site?
