FIT – What is it and is it for me?

We have a new Blog about Scandinavia and our insider's view with our custom travel and tours. Please continue to follow our blog posting on our new blog Insider's Scandinavia - Great Places to Go and Things to do!

During the thirteen years The Nordic Company has been in business, the travel industry has always readjusted and revolutionized itself many times. We have worked hard to maintain our cutting edge with each one of its new facets. Perhaps the most predominant paradigm shift is in the dawn of the FIT. The FIT stands for foreign independent travel and implies a customized, individual itinerary that will cater to your specific needs. The Nordic Company has grabbed hold of this vastly popular style of travel as soon as its versatility came into demand and we are proud to say that 80% of our business is now driven by FIT clientele.

With the introduction of globalization and the internet, the world is getting smaller. Our knowledge of other destination possibilities is constantly expanding and this is exciting news for the world of travel. People now have a better idea of where they want to go and what they want to see. Our expertise is then called upon to fill in the blanks in terms of transportation, accommodation, and affordable pricing, as well as extensive local knowledge that we have to offer. Clients often come to us with a general itinerary in mind. We are then able to expand upon this framework to turn it into something that has all the bells and whistles of a group tour, but with a more intimate, individual appeal.

There are many benefits to having us design your FIT itinerary. FITs offer you the flexibility of travel dates, instead of having to go with pre-set tour dates. FITs allow you to see everything you want to see. If you don’t have enough time in one area, you can always go back. FITs allow you to vary your style of travel. Where group tours tend to be characterized by bus and standard level accommodation, FITs let you choose the comfort of your hotel each night and whether you want to travel by boat, bus, train, or all three! Perhaps most attractive to our clients, FITs give you room to move on price. Where group tour prices are determined at the beginning of our fiscal year, FITs are based on the individual itinerary. We work in rearranging your accommodation, transportation, and sightseeing excursions until we find an itinerary and a price that works for you.

So when you’re finally gearing up to go to Scandinavia, remember that your options are indeed unlimited. You don’t need to arrange your vacation time to fall on specific departure dates. You don’t have to compromise one city in order to see another. You don’t even have to worry about missing your flight and not making the tour! If you call The Nordic Company, we’ll make sure you do it all, on your own time, at your own pace, and with all the extras you need.
