Career opportunities for Travel and Tourism degree holders exist both in the public and private sector. In the public sector, there are opportunities in the Directorates and Departments of Tourism of the center and the state as Officers, information assistants, Tourist guides etc. Another good prospect for qualified tourism professionals are in the private sector with travel agencies, tour operators, airlines, hotels, transport and cargo companies, etc.
In the tourism department there are jobs as Reservation and counter staff, sales and marketing staff, tour planners and tour guides. To enter in to this field you need to pursue a professional course in this sector. Top colleges which you can consider are Indian Institute of Computer and Hospitality Management (IICHM), Nadia (West Bengal), University of Technology and Management (UTM), Shillong and School of Arts and Tourism Indore (Madhya Pradesh).

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.
