doing distance masters in travel and tourism worth it ? or should I go in for regular college?
Hello Shweta!
I will state my opinion for you. According to me, people sitting in front of a computer don't have any idea at all as to how to guide the traveler as per their requirements. As travel and tourism is such a field which needs many practical skills, so distance learning is what I would not suggest you.
Rather you can go for a regular college for these courses to make a foundation of your career in travel and tourism:-
- Capsule Course in Travel & Tourism
- Fast track Training in Travel & Tourism
- IATA Foundation Course
- International Tour Manager
- IATA GDS Fares & Ticketing (Amadeus)
- Diploma in Travel and Tourism

In India, the travel industry hopes to build 46 million job opportunities by 2025 thus there will be more requirement for travel and tourism professionals. So, I would say your choice is definitely good.
All the best for future endeavors!
