Custom designed independent travel. Custom designed travel is for those who would rather travel alone, as a couple, or part of a group of friends rather than with an escorted group. Independent travelers follow a unique itinerary created to their preferences and specific interests. The agency provides a personalized, detailed itinerary, constructed around the traveler’s interests, travel pace and style.

The international market is broadly split into two-the Group market(again split into the Group Independent Traveller(GIT) and Group Tours) and the Free Independent Traveller(FIT) market. Group tour visitors generally stay a shorter period of time-one night is the norm-and most Asian markets have a preference for this type of travel. Accommodation is almost exclusively in mid to top range hotels. The FIT market generally stays a longer period of time, and as these visitors travel independently they utilise a wide range of accommodation and modes of travel. FIT's usually come from the more established western markets however there is a growing trend in this direction from the more mature Asian markets.

CONT

Group Independent Travellers (GIT) are also an important segment in this market, and typically include families travelling with children and/or senior parents. Their trips tend to be focused around the school holidays and include winter sun, cruises, theme parks, and culturally-based holidays.

Le voyage en solo: Avantages et inconvénients. Quand vous entendez l'expression «voyageur indépendant» qu'est ce qui vous vient à l'idée? [...] Quand vous voyagez seul, personne ne vous dira quoi faire, quand et comment; vous aurez la liberté de choisir où vous voulez aller et à quel moment, de plus, vous pourrez avoir la chance de garder par exemple un souvenir extraordinaire d'une soirée mémorable passée dans un pub un peu flyé à Paris, Berlin ou Londres. Bien sûr, votre liberté ne sera pas complète: votre budget, la disponibilité dans les auberges et trains ainsi que les plans de vos compagnons qui vous obligerons peut-être à modifier votre itinéraire. Mais si vous avez le temps, la flexibilité et le sens de l'aventure, êtes prêt à passer des heures et même des journées complètes seuls, alors, ce type de voyage est probablement la meilleure option pour vous.
