Travel and Tourism, one of
the world's largest foreign exchange earners among industries, directly
provides employment to millions of people worldwide and indirectly
through many associated industries. The tourism industry has achieved a
fast growth rate to emerge as the major driving force of the global
economy. India has been ranked second based on the growth rate, with
Montenegro and China at the first and third positions, respectively.
Over the next 10 years, India is all set to gain an annual growth rate of 8.8% in the travel sales sector. This immense growth in travel and tourism industry has created plenty of job opportunities for hospitality and travel sales. Since the relative cost of air travel falls, and more and more people are taking to the skies for both business and pleasure, the sale of airline tickets and holiday packages have become a rapidly expanding business. New travel companies are springing up in towns and cities all over the world and big tour operators are teaming up with major airlines to offer ever better deals to an ever wider range of destinations.
A career in this industry is worth taking up because opportunities abound after successful completion of these courses in travel and tourism. One can be recruited in diverse job profiles related to this field in travel agencies, airlines and government organizations dealing with tourism. After gaining relevant knowledge and expertise as a travel professional, one can also choose to get self employed.
Vidya Vikas Education Trust is offering a three-year bachelor of tourism and hospitality course since 1998. Special care and concern is taken to run the course efficiently under the able guidance of prominent experts in the hospitality and tourism industry. Admission to this course is made on the basis of selection in order of merit of written test, group discussion and personal interview.
A variety of learning tools ensure smooth experiential acquisition of knowledge and skills. Case studies, projects, assignments, quizzes, seminars, industry visits are some of the methods used. Students are encouraged to develop analytical judgments and presentation skills and theoretical competency. Students will undergo 18-week summer training at one of the leading hotels across the country at the end of the IV semester and will undertake a project of direct relevance to the concerned organization. They will undertake a project as a part of their training during the VI semester. Each student is required to submit a detailed and a professional report at the end of the VI semester. A presentation on the same has to be made before the panel of experts.
