Hi,
You can choose jobs like:
1. Consultant or Entrepreneur
When you work for yourself, you are in complete control of when and where you travel or live. The flexibility will allow you to work remote and travel around if you choose. You are also in complete control of how much money you can make.
2. Join a company that has offices abroad:
Consider joining a company that has international offices. Most companies that have a global presence are often lenient to letting you work from other offices as long as you still complete your responsibilities. Just ask your supervisor or human resources if you aren't sure.
3. Digital Nomad
Similar to being a consultant or entrepreneur, being a digital nomad allows you to freely work wherever you want in the world. Become a graphic designer, website developer, or anything else that will allow you to take on clients virtually.
4. Travel (or fashion, lifestyle, etc.) Blogger:
Become a travel blogger or Vlogger (Video Blogger). Successful bloggers can enjoy perks such as free/paid trips, brand sponsorships, complimentary clothes/gifts, and more. Keep in mind though: It's a very small percentage of bloggers who get these perks and definitely not everyone.
All the best.

Hello,
Travel and tourism courses could be divided into different perspectives. One is regular education by obtaining Degree / Diploma or post graduation or MBA. Here, degrees are awarded by regular universities after following prescribed and authorised pattern of learning. In such scenarios, UGC guidelines are available for qualifications of prospective teachers. These need to have adhered strictly. On the other hand, there are courses outside this setup and such courses are endorsed by respective professional bodies. Such courses vary in duration from a couple of weeks and months to about a year. They invariably teach practical oriented patterns which are very useful to raw recruits. In such domain, practical experience in that particular domain and expertise is what is required to obtain the position of a faculty.
Majority of institutions and courses follow the second pattern and hence prospective faculties need to have experience in the domain for becoming a faculty.

You can work in booking and confirm reservations for passengers on scheduling flights, helping the customers in chalking out their travel schedule and so on. Profession one has to deal with people who are from any part of the world and desiring to get to any other part of the world. So one has to be ready to serve people from all over the globe. There may be people from Kazakhstan who want an air ticket to Melbourne. And such people will come by across in hundreds and those who are doing the air ticketing have to search and arrange air tickets for all these passengers. Services have to be provided to domestic airline travelers as well as International airline travelers. There are a number of airlines the world over. Those into airline ticketing have to be well conversed with whether there is a flight accommodation for a passenger from his place of departure to the place of arrival. They have to look up international flight timing charts for this. Also, if one passenger intends to travel up-to one country, halt there for two days and then go to another country, they have to look up flights which co-ordinate the timings of the passenger.
Main job roles in this area are Air Ticketing Executive, and Air Ticketing Voice Support.

Hello,
This dilemma is always faced by students who are on the cusp of higher studies. Having done graduation, what next? This question preoccupies mind of almost all children and their parents. I would like to make it easier to understand and appreciate. Masters in simple term means postgraduate study in the same subject as that of your graduation. During graduation, many related subjects are taught. But here only rudimentary or peripheral knowledge can be obtained. But a student is now capable to understand different aspects of travel & tourism. During Masters, one of these subjects is to be chosen. Here, a detailed study is undertaken of the subject giving very deep and detailed all-round knowledge of the subject.On the other hand, MBA is managing. Hence as eligibility, any graduation is accepted. Here knowledge is imparted about the business aspect of it. Students are made capable to even start their own business besides making them fit to join any related company in a managerial position.To conclude, I would like to say that Masters will make you real professional in your chosen field while MBA will make you knowledgeable about all related fields.

Air Ticketing- this is the actual purchase/issuing of a ticket for a mode of travel. A lot of airlines have their offshore ticketing offices, where immediate purchases can be made by passengers.
These counters are also available at the airport and such jobs are offered directly through the respective airlines as ground staff. Ticketing would also require knowledge of certain software for the process.
So, both have similar career prospects depending on the path you choose.
Airline ticketing agents located at the airports are not responsible for the ticketing only, but ticket agents work directly with passengers, airlines like to see a customer service and/or sales background along with excellent verbal and written communication skills, basic typing and computer skills, and ability to perform basic mathematics. Ticket agents must have the ability to work without close supervision, and have a general knowledge of geography. Cash handling and credit card transaction experience is helpful. Foreign language skills may be required.
General ticketing could include the simple job of booking tickets for other modes of transport including rail, bus, cruise etc.
Air ticketing will definitely be more preferred as it has added responsibilities to the profile and better pay packages.
