Hi Sathwik,

A masters surely gives you a better perspective of a matter and also increases your eligibility for jobs if you want to work with any firm. Also, I would suggest you to pursue your masters from a foreign university with good recognition for the course. This will help you get international exposure and improve your skills so that you can work with biggest firms in the tourism industry.

Hope this helps,

All the best!
