Utkal University Bhubaneswar Answered Questions

Dear Yash,
Nearly everyone loves to travel, and many of us wrote a really great story in Junior High, so often people feel it would be easy to become a travel writer. But to me, it is like entering the ring in Madrid's Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas to face a raging bull, waving, instead of a cape, Hemingway's “truest sentence you know”.

Thanks IqraKhan for inviting me to share my views on the query posted by Pranbandhu. Prabandhu being a very wide field, the scope of employment in tourism sector is very bright and the potential is still largely untapped. Career opportunities exist both in the public and private sector. In the public sector, there are opportunities in the Directorates and Departments of Tourism of the center and the state as Officers, information assistants, Tourist guides etc. Another good prospectus for qualified tourism professionals are in the private sector with travel agencies, tour operators, airlines, hotels, transport and cargo companies etc. The opening up of the skies to private airlines and their emerging tie-ups with foreign airlines has removed bottlenecks in the transport and communication network resulting in easy flow of domestic and foreign tourists in the country. Since this is a new area of employment, not many qualified and experienced people are available and the promotion prospectus are also very bright and rapid. After a few years of experience, One can also start their own business by handling all travel requirements of a client and gradually building up business, taking on additional employees.

Hello Sachin
There are lots of Diploma courses available but it is suggested You should go with masters degree as masters have better scope then Diploma as Diploma will not give you better career Prospects
You may choose better Degrees like M.com Masters in Finance MBA or PGDBM etc
If you still want to go with Diploma you can choose University like Madurai Kamraj, University of Madras or KSOU they have afforable fee structures look at their website every thing listed there
Hope this will help
