Hello Swami,
Below are a few institutions in Delhi offering program in this field:
Jamia Millia Islamia
SKYLINE Business School
JIMS - Jagannath Institute of Management Sciences
Hope Institute of Hospitality Management,
Cradle of Management Institute (Hotel Management)
If you can move out of Delhi then I would suggest you to look for UTM Shillong as its pretty good university for pursuing BBA in Hospitality, Travel and Tourism. Plus Shillong being a tourist destination you will get good industrial exposure there. Rest, choice is yours. Good luck :)

Steps to Becoming a travel journalist

-Decide the type of journalism you would like to pursue such as newspapers, magazines, television, or online.
-Networking, Speak to as many people as you can! Who knows, some of them may become your mentor.
-Get your name out there. Send out resumes to different media outlets across India. This is a great way to build relationships with editors, publishers, producers, directors, etc.
