Hello,
Bangalore Management Academy, located in Bangalore was established in year 2005. It offers post graduate courses in management with different domains. One of them is Tourism. It apparently had tie up with some universities abroad, which gave it an international character. There is a red herring also in that some sources say that this academy has closed down for want of students. But, of course this needs to be checked.
On the other hand, Trade Wings, Mumbai was incorporated in year 1949. It was a premier establishment to offer services in travel. It opened its Institute of Management in year 1989 for imparting training to its inductees as well as to other students. It pioneer is in training thousands of youngsters in the field of Travel and Tourism besides logistics management and hospitality sector. It has presence in more than 50 locations in India and trains thousands of students every year.To conclude, my vote goes to Trade Wings Academy of Management, simply because they have more than 20 different courses to choose from and, also it is presence in more than 50 locations across India.

Hello,
International Institute of Business Management is located in Pimpri-Chinchawad area near Pune and is in existence since yesterday 2000. It's majority courses are affiliated to Pune University, while a few are recognized by Sikkim Manipal University. It offer courses at graduation, post-graduation and certificate level, but unfortunately no course is offered in the area of Travel & Tourism.
On the other hand, TMI academy has its presence in three locations of Mumbai, Delhi and Pune. It offers different courses in the field of Travel and Tourism as per the charter of IATA. This attracts many students to it, since the institute offer courses that are recognized abroad also.
To conclude, I would say that TMI Academy should be the choice of all aspiring students making career in Travel and Tourism.

Game designers obviously focus on designing games. This is quite different in terms of the work vs. animators who usually work on movies or commercials. Whether it be game design or animation, there are many specific skills to learn and to concentrate in. You have the modeling of the characters (which is akin to digital sculpture), character animation, which requires good fine art skills and drawing of faces, environmental design, which is essentially designing the background for the characters, texturing (for skin and fur), lighting, rigging (to get the character to move correctly) and more.
I guess the bottom line is that:
1. You need to decide whether you want the programming side or the design side.
2. If design, majoring in either game design or animation would probably be just as good for developing the above-mentioned design skills. However, if you want character animation or environmental design, it is crucial that you develop your drawing and illustration skills particularly of characters. Other aspects of animation don't need this as much.
