About
Remember the last holiday, when you went to a hill station or a beach resort? It was your dad/mom who got all the reservations (rail, air, hotel, sightseeing, etc) done. Now think of being on the other side ie. you organize everything for individuals/groups who want to travel. If you are enthused, then this is definitely the career for you.
