Pricing Policy
The course training fees are indexed according to average national income levels (purchasing power parity – PPP) across countries.
This ensures fair access for participants worldwide while maintaining sustainable training delivery for facilitators.
Principles
- The German base price represents 100%.
- Countries are grouped into six income tiers (A*–E) according to OECD/IMF PPP data (2025).
- Each group receives a proportional price factor.
- Discounts:
Early-bird: −10% for bookings ≥12 weeks before start
NGO/Student: −15% on the local standard fee
Fairness & Accessibility
Participants are encouraged to select the rate that reflects their main country of residence and employment income level. International participants may pay the higher of their home-country rate or the host-country rate to ensure equity.
Ethical Commitment
By adopting income-based pricing, the Adventure Therapy Institute promotes global inclusivity, fairness, and sustainable professionalization in the field of nature-based and experiential therapies.
Transparency & Adjustments
Prices may be reviewed annually according to updated PPP income data from Eurostat, IMF, and World Bank sources. In case of economic fluctuations or extraordinary inflation, multipliers can be adjusted proportionally.

VAT
Course prices are always quoted with and without 19% VAT (gross & net). It is therefore important that we know whether you are booking as a private individual (within Europe, always + 19% VAT) or as a company/business (in Europe, “charge reverse” applies and the invoice is issued WITHOUT VAT – for this, we always need your international tax number).
Course prices & accommodation & food
ATI is a continuing education and training provider and generally calculates its prices for courses without accommodation & meals.
As soon as we offer complete packages, we fall under German travel law and are considered a tour operator, which we definitely are not.
This is very complicated for accommodation providers, as they are not allowed to invoice ATI, but must invoice you as individual participants/customers.
ATI usually reserves the accommodation and pays in advance. Participants pay their share of the accommodation and meals separately on site. ATI will not issue any invoices for accommodation and meals.
We strive to keep the costs for accommodation and meals at approximately 50.00 euros/day & night. If we anticipate that it will be more, we will announce this.
Camper
Unless otherwise stated, the prices always apply to all accommodation and meal options. Campers also use the sanitary facilities, the seminar room, the outdoor facilities, etc. When planning and making reservations, ATI cannot take into account whether 50% of the group wants to sleep in tents. In that case, the offers would no longer be valid. We ask for your understanding and trust.
