Date: 5-Oct-2007
Question: Sir,

I want to do bachelor of tourism course from distance education programe IGNOU. What are the scopes of job after doiing this course and which type of job i get? actually i have passed 12th with science(PCM) stream and now i want to grduate.so kindly suggest me what should i do?

Answer: The tourism sector offers entry into travel agencies, tour operators, publicity and travel promotion, adventure sports, transport organisations etc.As travel is a service industry,good common sense, intelligent approach and enthusiasm are the key to success in this sector. Excellent communication skills, an intense commitment for customer satisfaction, a responsible approach and immense enthusiasm for providing pleasure and comforts are required. The premier institute being Indian Institute of Tourism and Travel Management(IITTM) Gwalior. You can also visit their website: www.iittm.org It offers a 3 years Bachelors in Tourism Management(Hons.)course. It is always better to do a regular, full-time course from an institute of repute than doing a correspondence course.

Hope that helps.
