Frequently Asked Questions
What is FIT travel?
FIT stands for Fully Independent Travel (or Free Independent Traveller) — tailor-made itineraries for individuals, couples, and small private groups rather than scheduled group tours. A Singapore FIT ground handler like The Traveller DMC arranges the hotels, private transfers, guides, dining, and experiences behind a tour operator's own branded itinerary.
Why do tour operators use a Singapore DMC for FIT bookings?
A local DMC provides net rates on hotels and services, on-the-ground quality control, licensed guides, 24/7 in-destination support, and a single accountable partner for every component. We operate white-label, so your brand stays in front of the traveller throughout.
What is included in a Singapore FIT package?
Typical components include hotel accommodation at contracted rates, private airport transfers, private or seat-in-coach touring, licensed English-speaking guides, attraction tickets, restaurant reservations, and 24/7 emergency support — built to your brief rather than sold off the shelf.
How long should travellers spend in Singapore?
Most FIT itineraries allocate 3 to 5 nights, which comfortably covers Marina Bay, Gardens by the Bay, Sentosa, the heritage neighbourhoods, and signature dining. Singapore also pairs naturally with Malaysia or Bali as a twin-centre itinerary, which we operate under one booking.
Do you operate a booking platform for FIT agents?
Yes — our Agent Hub is a dedicated FIT booking platform covering Singapore and Malaysia ground services, available to tour operators worldwide. Contact us for access.
Can you handle dietary, accessibility, and special requests?
Yes. Dietary requirements (halal, kosher, vegetarian, vegan, allergies), accessibility needs, child seats, and special occasions are confirmed before arrival as standard on every file.
