The company is running three, four and seven day tours, with the option to travel in business or economy class, and a choice of hotels in Dusseldorf itself. There is also the option of an Anzac Day tour to Gallipoli.

Marty Knespal, director of Eastern Suburbs Travel says he is offering the short stay three or four day drupa tour options, in response to demand from Aussie printers.

He says, “We have the traditional seven day packages available, but have negotiated with the hotels and are now able to offer three or four night packages as well, as we have had plenty of calls from printers wanting to go for a shorter time.”

Australian printers will be able to choose the periods they want to be in Düsseldorf, subject to availability, for the show which runs May 3-16.

Knespal says, “We have The Mercure Dusseldorf Hafen in central Düsseldorf, with easy tram access to the Hauptbahnhof (main station) and then to the show on a direct tram route, so there are no long journeys home at the end of the day or after an evening in the Altstadt. This hotel has large modern rooms and offers a great full buffet breakfast to start the day.”
