PRESS RELEASE
December 2002

Kumuka Expeditions have just released their 2002 Europe Brochure. Coming into their fourth year, Kumuka runs budget coach hotel tours tailored for independent-minded travellers.

Kumuka offers circuits through France, Spain, and Portugal, as well as Central Europe from the traditional gateway point of London, as well as less traditional gateways of Paris, Venice, Rome, Vienna, Athens, and Tangiers. With the London start, Kumuka offers the unusual inclusion of escorted Eurostar transfers to Paris. Clients opting to start and end their trips in Paris can take $130.00 of the price of their tour. The most popular selling tour for Kumuka is the 18 day European Waltz which starts in Rome and travels through Austria, Hungary, The Czech Republic, Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, and France before returning to London for $1790.00 or less than $100.00 a day.

Besides offering on-board videos, included river cruises, and local guides in many cities, Kumuka is also the only youth orientated European coach tour operator that guarantees departures. Kumuka also guarantee not to surcharge their brochure price.

Travellers who wish to extend their journeys into more exotic locales can choose from overland journeys through Morocco or Turkey, five star yacht sailing through the Greek Isles, or an eight day horseback riding adventure through Southern Spain. Travellers booking their tours before 30 January, 2002 will receive a 10 percent discount off the brochure tour price and Lauda Airlines offer special low fares for Kumuka passengers. Brochures can be ordered through Kumuka directly at 1 800 804 277 or via the internet at, www.kumuka.com.au or see your local travel agent.
