FIT or Groups
FIT and Groups ( in Terms & Conditions )
Definitions of FIT and Groups are not distinct. Some are saying that 16 and more people, making a reservation of a service, is a Group. And less than 16 can be define as a FIT traveler. These two ways of defining travelers, is prompted by the committments made by the Service Provider. Committments expressed in the Terms & Conditions. When a Group cancel a booking, the replacement with new Clients is not that easy for a Group,compared to smaller numbers of guests making a cancellation.
Fit can also be an acronym for Frequent Independant Traveler or Free Individual Traveler.
A general interpretation could be:
FIT = Fully Independant Traveller.
Travellers who independantly organise their own bookings and itinereray. Large familiy can be both a group and a FIT traveller.
