FIT: The Flexible Way to Travel

What is FIT?

Here at Cashel Travel, the term or acronym FIT stands for Foreign Independent Traveler, but it isn’t necessarily the same in other organisations. Some people or companies refer to it as a Fully Independent Traveler, Frequent Independent Traveler, Free Independent Tourist, Frequent Individual Traveler and we’re sure there are many more. But as you can see, they’re all very much the same thing.

On paper, FIT is a travel style where you plan and book all aspects of your trip yourself, giving you complete control over your itinerary and experiences. But if you choose to work with a tour operator, who also work with FIT’s, they will allow you to access great package tours, while keeping the option to customize your journey to your specific interests and preferences.
