Hi Ajit, I see that you like to travel and explore places and you're also from a commerce background, I suggest you to pursue Bachelor in Business Management taking in mind the specialization of International Business, Hospitality or Tourism. I'm pursuing my PGDM at IFIM B School and my college offers International Business also for MBA students and the curriculum for that matches your dream, more than you expect, it's mainly on global environment opportunities, global innovations, hospitality management, tourism and luxury businesses etc from States and France. You should start by looking for BBM or BHM as a starter. Good luck.
