    Travel and tourism is definitely one of the most booming field. Government initiatives, increased industry participation, involvement of start-up ventures and emergence of India as a tourist destination are some of the key factors that have fueled the growth of Travel and Tourism sector.

    You can opt for any career provided you are sure that in the future you will not change your mind. Take a few aptitude tests if you want. Travel and tourism is great but it requires a lot of hard work and just because you are an average student does not mean you will not excel. Ensure that you enjoy what you are studying.

Countries like Germany and Norway are excellent options. Because public universities there charge little to no tuition fees.  The cost of living and education is significantly lower compared to the USA or UK. You must factor in living expenses and language requirements.
