MORE ABOUT SOLO/INDEPENDENT TRAVELERS
The term FIT does not restrict to a young solo individual, it could be a couple, a group of friends or a retired individual exploring the world in his/her own way. Selecting plus planing their own journey and exploring places that interests them.
The reason its termed FIT is because of the way they travel and plan their itinerary.
