As well as offering a choice of one week or a full two week stay at in Dusseldorf, Marty Knespal of Eastern Suburbs Travel has added an ANZAC tour of Turkey to the agenda, which starts in Istanbul on April 22 and wraps up on May 2, just in time for the show.

The tour gives travellers the opportunity to commemorate the ANZAC’s and embrace history at Gallipoli. It then departs on a journey through Turkey taking in Roman ruins of Ephesus, Perge and Aspendos; the stunning Mediterranean and spectacular Cappadocia.

When it comes time for the drupa Tour, Knespal is keen to promote the benefits of an organised tour with on-site travel staff as against last-minute self-booked internet trips.

He says, “We have rooms booked at two great hotels in Dusseldorf, which means for our guests the Messe showground is just a tram ride away, and they can enjoy the Aldstadt in the evenings without having to worry about getting home to some distant location.”

Eastern Suburbs Travel will have Marty Knespal and his wife Sonia, also a director in the business, on the ground in Dusseldorf the whole time to assist their group members. The tour also includes an Aussie Night Dinner in Dusseldorf, as well as Happy Hours at various hotels, and partner tours to Cologne and Amsterdam.

The drupa tour is being organised in association with Printing Industries.
