Hello,







B.com degree is different degree but still you can enter the travel and tourism industry but the right way to enter this industry is that you should have done graduation in travel and tourism which basically comes under hotel management courses.

It is a good industry to enter because travel and your tourism is growing at a good pace so lots of opportunities are there for the freshers.
