Taking it as a career option can be a very good decision for any person as it is a sector highly innovative sector that can be exciting and rewarding as well. Some of the career options available in the tourism sector can be:

• Travel Agent: The job of a travel agent is to book the tickets and make necessary arrangements for the people traveling abroad or within the country. It may require a few years of experience before you start your own travel agency. So I suggest you to take up an internship in a reputed travel agency to understand the process and then take a call to start your own business. Also, while working for an already established agency you may get different travel opportunities that will give practical exposure.
• Trip Planner/ Tour operator: If you wish to be an entrepreneur you can be an individual trip planner. The role of a trip planner is to organize and plan an entire trip, prepare itineraries, hotel bookings, air tickets, food arrangements, etc. He/she Offers different packages to clients after adding the profit margin.
