You can go for Masters in Tourism Management. It has a wide scope. Don't get confused, just explore the things. After completion of a course in any field of Travel and Tourism, many of the colleges provide placements in sectors such as hospitality, shipping, aviation and, of course, tourism.
Some of the companies that attend such placement events in the colleges are Thomas Cook, Cox & Kings, Indian Railways Catering and Ticketing Corporation (IRCTC), SOTC Travel, Make My Trip, Le Passage to India Pvt. Ltd, Snow Leopard Adventure, Pearls Tourism, Lufthansa Cargo, Fair Fest Media Ltd, Concord, Colourful Vacations, Zenith Hospitality, Southern Travels, Ziva Spa and Maxx Fun Holidays.
Depending on the certificate or diploma or the specialization you pursued in the degree course, you can work in positions like tour operator, event manager, ticketing officer, adventure tourism expert, transport officer, holiday consultant and field officers. Other related division where professionals with a degree or diploma in travel and tourism can find openings are cargo services, logistics, transport agencies, airlines, hotels, and tourism departments in government and private concerns.

Dear Sumaiya,
There is a lot of scope in these industries. Aviation is all about aircraft. Aviation courses in India deal with
Flying Operation (Pilots), Aircrew (Air Hostesses), Aircraft, Air Traffic Management, Technical aspects of Flight, Aviation Safety, Regulatory Policies and economics of airport.
Hotels require many people to work in various departments such as:
1. Food and Beverage (F&B).
2. Housekeeping.
3. Accounting.
4. Marketing.
5. Recreation.
6. Computer Applications.
7. Financial Management.
8. Engineering
9. Maintenance.
10. Security.
11. Fire Fighting.
12. Public Relations.
Entry level for Hospitality Management jobs might start as a Trainee or at a Junior Manager Level. It can be jobs related to Communication, Front Office or Customer Relationships Management as well.
Thanks
Mohit
