The tourism and travel management domain has witnessed strong participation from companies such as EaseMyTrip, Cordelia Cruise, IndiGo, ABEC Exhibitions & Conferences, IEML, Kinexin Convention Management, and other travel tech and event management organizations. Students have secured roles in holiday sales, cabin crew, exhibition management, and experience operations, indicating diversification into high-value service roles within the tourism ecosystem.
