“We really do not know what the customer is interested in or where they want to go in some cases. It would be great if we could know ahead of time about places that are interesting to customers, so we can be more focused on designing travel products based on this kind of input. Right now, we mostly look at trips that other travel agencies are offering and we copy trips that we think are working for them. We do not capture information about customer satisfaction at all. For example, we do not have a system that shows me which aspects of a trip were great and which aspects of a vacation product were not so great. I use the sales figures to roughly determine vacation trips to offer again. Sometimes this rough estimate works while at other times it does not work. It would be great if we could learn about “hot” vacation trips earlier than our competitors do. Could we use attributes of customers to predict tours that they will like?”.

With world travel market having undergone significant changes over the last few years a new type of tourist has emerged known as the Free Independent Traveler or Tourist (FIT). The definition is broad but tends to refer to people over 35, often, though not necessarily, of above average income who like to travel in small groups, usually couples. They eschew mass tourism and the holiday package concept promoted by Travel operators, in favour of a more individualistic approach to travel. There are two implications to the idea of the Free Independent Traveler. One is important in the context of a marketing niche with a distinct economic behavior whilst the other concentrates more on the philosophy of travel. This distinction can be summarized in how they are described. For the economic importance of tourism and for marketing purposes they are Free Independent Travelers (Upper
