There are many courses available in travel & tourism field. There are certificate programs offered by institutes like YMCA, etc. There are also degree programs like BBA in hospitality travel and tourism if you are looking want to pursue travel and tourism related course. According to me, opt for BBA in hospitality travel and tourism rather than a certificate program. The certificate is mere training, but the degree course will give you the in-depth knowledge and better understanding plus the degree applicants for a job are always given the top priority and position. I would suggest you to go for a BBA in hospitality tours and travel from a good institution like UTM, Asian Academy of Film Television and YMCA as these colleges have very good placement assistance.

Hi,
M.Com is a commerce stream. So, its better to do MBA or PG Diplomaor IBPS (banking exam).
You can also go for PG diploma programs by ICICI and Axis bank.That has direct placement.
If you are interested in going to Hospitality industry then go for Air ticketing or ground staff training.
Best of luck.

Hi Devendra,
Diploma in mechanical is a good choice to make your career in mechanical either design or core mechanics. I don't know what makes you want to take tourism. Both the courses are different in nature and career opportunities.If you want to start your career in tourism, then go for it, but think why you opted for tourism course? Think about the options you have at present in mechanical. Compare both the fields and scope they have. Remember degree is not enough to start your career.
Can I know the reason behind your decision?
