Let me explain the difference these fields.
Aviation is a field which is related to management/business of flying and operating engines of a flight. On the other hand, hospitality is a field which is related to operations and management of managing- catering food, living accommodation of guests. Whereas, travel management is a field which is related to the tourism sector like planning tours, holiday picnics, ticket bookings, suggesting places and spots, etc.
All the best.
