Hi Nilanjana,
Good Day!
Have you decided the university to pursue your degree. As mostly the university itself assists the students with the student visa. In case, if they are not then you can do the same by yourself too. It's a simple process with all documents to be submitted as requested by the immigration department. Dubai has created an education hub that is dedicated to only higher education, where many different universities from all across the world are situated that helps the students to interact with each other, share knowledge on the basis of different nationalities and cultures, since there are 125+ nationalities in there. As far as the safety is concerned with its cosmopolitan environment and strict rules there is barely any crime there. Therefore it is a safe place to be.
Thanks,
Bushra

There is tremendous scope in tourism and travel management as you can see, each state has come up with their own unique ads describing the beauty of their respective states. You can develop apps helping tourists and Government in managing travel and tourism in each state and the whole country. Thus, this becomes a contentious management issue that needs redressal. How to manage lakhs of tourists travelling as westerners find India an attractive place especially its culture heritage and yes, chaotic population. There are courses from higher B-Schools and universities imparting travel and tourism management. You can opt for them. Check out the IIMs if they have a course in this field or for that matter, DU and colleges in Maharashtra, etc.

Tourism industry is all about customer service and satisfaction. No book is going to teach you that. Ofcourse, you can train yourself in various CRS like Galileo, Amadeus, Worldspan or Abacus. Amadeus and Galileo are mostly used by most corporate travel houses and airlines. That will teach you how to make various reservations for hotel, Airlines and car rentals. You get into live inventory of the airline or hotel and are able to make new reservation or change existing ones.
Secondly, you can opt for a airline crew, if you have what they need. Jet being the leading paymaster after Air India. A crew is normally trained for a period of 3 months after they get selected. Trust me, joining institutions like frankfinn or alike is no good. Even if you are the best student from there, you still will be trained by the concerned airline according to their procedures laid down by DGCA.
But the foremost important thing is.do you have it in you. Remember, serving food is not the prime KRA of a crew. They are there to save oeople during any emergency even if that costs their life. You need to be a person who can understand what a person wants even before he ask you for it.
Travel is a huge industry, so be wise in choosing the field you want to get into. If you don't like your job after joining, you will never be able to grow.
