Many people start off their career working in a related field, such as at a ticket agency and then work their way towards becoming a travel agent. Today, with the inroads that computerisation has made in every field, the basic know-how of computers is mandatory. Once you learn the ropes and have a steady clientele, you can even open up your own agency and go places literally speaking. The travel and tourism industry includes positions in travel agencies, tour groups, national and international airlines, hotels, transport and cargo companies and government tourism departments. As the world becomes a global village and distances shrink, the travel industry is likely to undergo massive expansion in the coming years.
Many places depend on travel and tourism for their primary source of revenue.
