SIGNATURE OPERATION

Every December, we take 1,000+ guests to Konya.

Şeb-i Arus — the anniversary of Rumi's passing, 7–17 December — is the most demanding week of the year in Konya. Ceremony tickets, train seats and hotel rooms run out early. It is also the operation we know best.

One company, office to coach

Planning, operations and coach transport sit inside one company. When something changes on the road, the person who answers can actually fix it.

Every hotel night, coach day, guide day and ticket is a separate line — so you can compare, adjust and resell with confidence.

A duty contact for your tour leader

Your tour leader has a direct line to our operations team for the whole program, not a general call centre.

Invoicing in EUR or USD

Contracts and invoices in your working currency, issued by a licensed Turkish travel agency.

FAQ

Questions partners ask us

What is a DMC and what does Esen DMC do?

A destination management company (DMC) is the local partner that plans and operates a program on the ground. Esen DMC arranges hotels, coaches, licensed guides, transfers, domestic flights, entrances and experiences across Türkiye for tour operators, travel agencies and group organisers abroad.

Is Esen DMC a licensed travel agency?

Yes. Esen DMC is a brand of Esen Tour (Esen Tur Organizasyon Taşımacılık Ticaret Ltd. Şti.), licensed by the Association of Turkish Travel Agencies, TÜRSAB, with licence number A-11126, operating from Kadıköy, Istanbul since 2005.

Do you work with travel agencies at net rates?

Yes. Agencies and tour operators receive net, itemised proposals so they can add their own margin and resell the program to their clients.

Which group sizes do you handle?

From small private groups to several coaches travelling together. Send the approximate number of travellers and we will plan transport and rooming to match.

Can you arrange the Konya Şeb-i Arus whirling ceremony?

Yes. Every year we bring more than 1,000 guests to Konya for Şeb-i Arus, held 7–17 December. We arrange ceremony tickets, high-speed train or flight seats, hotels and guiding. Tickets are limited, so we recommend sending your request early.

Which languages do your guides speak?

English-speaking licensed guides are standard. Other guide languages are arranged on request — tell us your group's language in the proposal form.

How do I request a proposal?
