Why Tourism Industry is Rising Fast

The profession of a travel agent has not always been a very glamorous one. In India especially, being a travel agent is just sitting in a stuffy office in some small lane with posters of the Statue of Liberty and the valleys of Europe as background.

But in the recent years being a travel agent has changed as the tourism industry has become one of the most profitable industries. If one is passionate about travelling, then they can easily find a good well- paying job in the travel industry as either a travel agent or something else.

One of the steps one can take if they want to go into the travel industry is getting a degree from any of the reputed hotel management institute in India. This will allow them to try their hand at several different departments in the hotel industry and open some good doors for anyone wanting to get into the tourism industry.

Apart from that, if one does not necessarily want to do a hotel management course then there are also several short term tourismcourses in India that are available to all. This will be shorter in duration and more department specific. As in these course will cover a more certain part of the tourism industry and will target that section only in their duration. Unlike a hotel management course which covers all aspects of the industry, such short term courses will have a speciality to them and one can only attend one course at a time.

One reason why tourism industry is one of the most successful industry is also because the countries and their governments have realised the importance of tourism and the revenue is generates. So one can easily get a good paying job in the government department of the tourism sector.

So both the government and the private sector are filled with job opportunities in the travel industry
