Independent informational content — not an official CBSE publication.
Travel and Tourism introduces students to how the tourism industry actually operates — from travel planning and ticketing to destination knowledge and hospitality basics — as a CBSE vocational subject taken alongside the core curriculum.
What the subject covers
Units typically span the structure of the tourism industry, domestic and international travel operations, destination and itinerary planning, and customer-facing communication skills, with practical exercises built around real booking and planning scenarios.
Who it suits
Students who enjoy geography, languages and dealing with people tend to take well to this subject. It also gives a head start toward further study or entry-level roles in travel agencies, airlines, hotels and tourism boards.
A full syllabus breakdown, unit-by-unit, is coming soon to this page. In the meantime, ask your school's vocational coordinator for the current CBSE curriculum document, or check cbse.gov.in directly.
