A FIT Package is a package in which the passengers travel independently (scheduled transport, rental car etc.) and carry vouchers themselves for each product in the package. These can operate on a scheduled or daily basis.
As with Group Scheduled Tours, FIT Package Tours comprise a number of products packaged together into a Pre-Costed Module, or PCM, which has a fixed selling price and can be booked and paid for as a single item. There are, however, different choices available for FIT Package Tours so they are covered separately.
FIT Package Tours Overview
Packaged FIT tours generally have NO set departure (i.e. start) dates. These tours may be as simple as, for example, a 3-day City stay-put, including only a hotel and transfers, or it can be an all-inclusive 14-day self-drive holiday.
The initial setup of this style of package tour is also done as a PCM. For FIT Packages, typically only one Pax Range based on 2 pax is required.
There are three setup steps required to create FIT Package Tours:
- Create a PCM with all of the services that are in the FIT Package Tour.
- Create a special Product Database service (‘Package Price Product’) which holds the selling prices for the FIT Package tour.
- Attach the Package Price Product to the PCM.
Also, optionally:
- Populate the Substitutions List in the PCM with substitutable services.
