Hello,
Bangalore Management Academy, located in Bangalore was established in year 2005. It offers post graduate courses in management with different domains. One of them is Tourism. It apparently had tie up with some universities abroad, which gave it an international character. There is a red herring also in that some sources say that this academy has closed down for want of students. But, of course this needs to be checked.
On the other hand, Trade Wings, Mumbai was incorporated in year 1949. It was a premier establishment to offer services in travel. It opened its Institute of Management in year 1989 for imparting training to its inductees as well as to other students. It pioneer is in training thousands of youngsters in the field of Travel and Tourism besides logistics management and hospitality sector. It has presence in more than 50 locations in India and trains thousands of students every year.To conclude, my vote goes to Trade Wings Academy of Management, simply because they have more than 20 different courses to choose from and, also it is presence in more than 50 locations across India.

Thomas Cook is an old and trusted name in the field of Travel & Tourism. Initially, they started this centre of learning to train new inductees in their organization. However, perhaps seeing its potential as a business venture, Thomas Cook has developed their center of learning into a full-fledged institute, where everything about travel and Tourism is taught. In view of the foregoing, I would recommend Thomas Cook Centre of Learning for admission to anybody who wants to make career in Travel and Tourism.
