PREFACE
Management courses without practical training are incomplete. Theoretical studies in the
classroom are not sufficient to understand various activities, problems and happenings inany industry. Practical training is therefore a process of learning, a sequence of
programmed behaviour, application of knowledge and awareness of rules and
procedures. It is therefore become necessary to undergo such training Tourism, indeed, ahigh-touch, high-tech, high involvement industry where it is the people who make the
difference. It is the quality of human resources in tourism that acquiesces enterprises to
build-up competitive advantage and gives forth added value with their service. In thedays gone by, tourism has been marked by a lack of skill in human resources policies and
practices. A high quality tourism workforce can be brought in just by means of high
standards of tourism education and training.I did my job training in Paradise HolidaysInd. Pvt. Ltd.
The travel and tourism sector creates more jobs per million rupees of investment than any
other sector of economy and is capable of providing employment to a wide spectrum of
job seekers from the unskilled to the specialised even in the remote parts of the country.Tourism has come into its own in India. Tourism as a general economic service and
social phenomenon is a post independence development.BTA is a modest offer for
students to explain tourism phenomenon. It helps in exploring some important concepts
of tourism like what makes the tourism possible and how tourism plays an important rolein the prosperity of any nation.
The industrial job training of BTA is mainly meant for study of tourism phenomena and
how we can use our theoretical knowledge into practice. As the fourth semester ends thestudents of BTA have to go for industrial job training to industrial hub like Delhi,
Mumbai. The report reflects the learning and experience during the two months winter
training in the organization. It includes my experience of working in the travel trade and
profile of the travel agency PARADISE HOLIDAYS IND. PVT. LTD.

TOUR & TRAVEL - AN OVERVIEW
Tourism is travel for recreational, leisure or business purposes. The World Tourism
Organization defines tourists as people who "travel to and stay in places outside their
usual environment for more than twenty-four (24) hours and not more than one
consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes not related to the exercise of an
activity remunerated from within the place visited". Tourism has become a popular
global leisure activity.
Types of tourism:
Outbound Tourism
Outbound tourism is what you may be most familiar with. It involves people traveling to
different countries other than their own country. For example, people traveling from
India to US, for business, leisure, or other purposes.
Inbound Tourism
People (foreigners) traveling to home country, from there native place is known as
inbound tourism. This is very important from the tourism point of view as it not
only benefits the culture but also gets in foreign currency.
Sectors
The tourism industry is divided into five different sectors:

History
Wealthy people have always traveled to distant parts of the world, to see great
buildings, works of art, learn new languages, and experience new cultures and to
taste different cuisines. Long ago, at the time of the Roman Republic, places such
as Baiae, were popular coastal resorts for the rich. The word tourism was used by 1811
and tourist by 1840. In 1936, the League of Nations defined foreign tourist as "someone
travelling abroad for at least twenty-four hours". Its successor, the United Nations,
amended this definition in 1945, by including a maximum stay of six months

OBJECTIVES OF JOB TRAINING
I. Inducing Practical approach in Tourism Management:
Industrial Training is an essential component in the development of the practical and professional
skills which will aid to prospective employment. It exposes to practical tourism experience and
knowledge that is required in industry, where these are not taught in the lecture rooms.
II. Application of Class theory in working organisation:
Contrary of above objective is equally important, as the theoretical knowledge can be applied in the
practical work so as to make it more prcised and fruitful. Applying the Tourism knowledge taught in
the lecture rooms in real industrial situations completes the purpose of course.
III. Utilization of Experience in future Perspective:
Experience gained from the Industrial Training can be utilized in the future perspective related to
career options. All the experiences throughout the training period prove fruitful in rending better
career options.
IV. Acclimatization of work environment:
In order to get an actual feel of the work environment, industrial training provides the required
atmosphere where one finds it easy to acclimatize or familiarize in the prospective working
atmosphere.
V. Awareness towards tourism responsibilities and ethics:
These internship programs provide better platforms to learn the basic responsibilities and ethics that
plays crucial role in tourism industry. Every trade is associated with its ethics or code of conducts and
these can only be learnt through practical knowledge in an organisation.

METHODOLOGY ADOPTED
The methodology adopted by me during my working was a step by step procedure. As Paradise
Holidays only deals in inbound tourism , so it handles the foreign agents and the direct clients who are
willing to come to India. Following process was undertaken by me to make all the arrangements for
the client for its comfortable experience.
At the very first the foreign agent sends it query through mail which contains the information
like:
Personal Information of the clients who are willing to come to India.
No. of pax
Dates suitable to them
Destinations they want to visit . or sometimes the client only gives the information
about what type of tourism they are interested into such as medical tourism,cultural
tourism , adventure tourism etc.
After that I used to revert back to the clients with the confirmation of the destinations , changes
if the destination proposed by the agent is not suitable, and the names of the destinations in
case the agent has just provided us with the type of tourism it is interested into. All the data
was collected by me through secondary sources.
Further, the client reverts back with the confirmation of the destinations he is willing to
undertake with the suitable dates.

Then according to the dates given by the client all the status of the flights , trains , cars ,
coaches and rooms were checked by me through the primary sources and I did tele calling for
it.
After then the dates are confirmed from the clients as per the availability of the transportation
and the accommodation and an detailed itinerary was sent by me as per their requirements.
The confirmation of the client on the itinerary enabled me to do further bookings for the
reservation of the rooms , flights and others mode of transports through tele calling as per the
itinerary confirmed by the client.
As soon as the confirmation is done then even client was sent a confirmation letter.
For the further confirmation of the hotel rooms an email is sent to the Reservation Manager.
As they revert back , a hotel voucher and a transportation voucher was prepared by me and it
was sent to the hotel and to the transportation agent through email and fax.
The copy of the clients copy is sent to ht client
Finally a folder was prepared by me containing all the tickets .

My Learning Outcome
The first week of intership was a real introduction to the tourism industry. I have been kept under Mr
Ranjeet Bhardwaj, the Manager of the company. After a brief introduction about the company and
staff, he assigned me the work. For the first few days he gave me few files of the already delt clientel.
These files gave me an inside to the working methodology and handling of clients. File handling is
the crucial aspect of any company as it not only gives core information about the client, his/her
interests , choices in relation to the changing scenario in the present tourism industry. File handling
makes us to understand the step wise procedures where simple query from direct client or from a
foreign agent abroad provides us. This is further processed by the operations depatment { a rough
draft of their query is resent to them }. Every minute detailing is cruicial as there is no space for even
a margin of an error as it involves monetary transactions and goodwill of the company. In this week I
also studied various brochures of the company and got the idea about promotion of tourism product.
For a company in travel trade brochures is a key method of advertisement of intangible tourism
products, like: boarding and lodging in hotels, motels, resorts etc. and transportation. Transportation
compromises different mode of transport segments. These company brochures enhance an indiviuals
skill for planning purposes.
The following weeks I went through various processes of managing different aspect of tourism
products and clientel. The summary is as follows:
In this week I was assigned to prepare the itineraries. For the first few days I studied different
different itineraries from the website of the company as well as itineraries used by the clients of the
company in the past. Firstly I was asked to prepare the itinerary of Delhi for 2-3 days. After throughstudy of Delhi from internet and Lonely Planet, I prepared different itineraries of Delhi named as
Delhi Darshan. Apart from Delhi I also prepared the itineraries of Rajasthan and South India. These
were the rough itineraries (not for the use of company), only to made me understand about the format
and language used in itinerary preparation. I have been given the names of different destinations and
asked to route them with detail description. Initially I made few mistakes but they taught me in a very
23

8/4/2019 3350. Report on Praradise Holiday India Pvt. Ltd. [Tourism]
29/46
polite way that how these mistakes can be overcome. This was a great learning experience for me.
During itinerary preparation we should keep following points in mind:
Back tracking /routing of destinations should be taken into consideration.
Itinerary should be captivating ensuring the comfort of the traveler.
It should be comprehensive, satisfying, preferences and requirements of the traveler.
Itinerary should clearly specify the inclusions and exclusions of the travel packages.
Procedural aspects of hotel reservations: Prior to hotel reservation a telephonic call is made to
check the availability status of rooms as per the client preference. This is further continued
with a formal mail to the reservation concerned faculty of the respective hotel. Once the rooms
are confirmed by the hotel, it is further reconfirmed prior to the arrival of the client. In case
there is unavailability of base category rooms, upgraded category are booked on the temporary
basis as a supplement cost to the base category.
Formal mailing format in outlook: It depicts the proper address to the receiver end. A formal
email ensures the companies signature concerned to the sender who is sending the mail either
to hoteliers or business associates.
Issuing formalities of train and air tickets: It ensures collection of all the documents of thetraveler, which proves the identity on the legal basis away from his/her home country. It
comprises VISA, Passport Copy.
I prepared an itinerary of South India for a client which is as follows :

This week I further learnt the preparation and use of Vouchers pertaining to the services of the
company provided to the concerned or prospective client.
Vouchers: These are the temporary fiscal figures which are generated to book the travel services in
advance on confirmed basis. They are of two types: one is Hotel Voucher which is issued to the hotel
prior to the visit of the client. Second is Service Voucher, it can be transport voucher, to be more
prcised it can be jeep safari voucher. Service Voucher includes all the services apart from
accommodation which is provided to the traveler, like: sightseeing, monument entry fee, guide
services etc.
In this week I was asked to prepare the complete folder for the upcoming client Ms Bedier. This folder
comprises various documents like welcome letter, different kinds of vouchers and a detailed itinerary
of the desired program. I prepared all the vouchers and final itinerary for the clients. This itinerary is
mainly the Golden triangle tour with Kajuraho and Varanasi. All the initial hotel reservations were
made in the four and five star hotels. I was also involved in the file handling of the same client.
Briefing sheet is also prepared for the client that included the detailed itinerary of his tour, feedbackform and detailed copy of vouchers. Apart from this I also prepared the list of hotels and vendors at
various destinations on excel sheet. Generally the operation process is same for all the FIT tours but it
very when it is concerned with GIT tours.

preferred by the foreign tourist are:

interested to do it in aviation or hospitality sector before joining Paradise Holidays but working with
such a renowned travel agency enhanced my further knowledge of travel and tourism industry as it

provided me with a greater incite of the working the industry , various destinations and other aspects
of the tourism industry. Working in a travel agencybroaden my horizons about the industry as I
realized that tour operations is a leading pathway to aviation and hospitality industry in which I was
keen to work. Training in travel agency boosted confidence in me as I got a chance to interact with
different industry professionals and it further motivated me to work as I also got stipend of Rs 1000/- .
The working environment over their was also comfortable as it had an excellent infrastructure and
friendly and supportive collegues.
After my training in Paradise Holidays I would like to suggest that the company can diversify its line
by adding s product more tourism products OUTBOUND TOURISM as the company already have a
image of a renound tavel agency . It can also diversify the company by adding up MICE division as it
is a big boon for the tourism industry now and in coming years, as the company offers world class
facilities in the components of tourism which can easily cater to the needs of MICE division.
I have also come up with a suggestion that as the company mentions END OF OUR SERVICES after
providing the client with a formal itinerary , the company can have promising words like END OF
OUR SERVICES TO A NEW RELATIONSHIP which commits on the services provided by the
company , builds a lasting image in the minds of the customers , an also creates goodwill of the
company.

CONCLUSION
Tourism is a major social phenomenon of the modern society with enormous economic consequences.
Its importance as an instrument for economic development and employment generation particularly in
remote and backward areas and a positive step for poverty elimination has been accepted the world
over. According to the UN World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) about 808 million tourists criss
crossed globally in 2005 and spent about 682 billion. The tourism scene in India is also very positive
with 3.92 tourists coming to India in 2005 (13.2% over 2004) and contributed Rs. 25172 cores in the
foreign exchange earnings for the country (16.5% up over 2004)
India also derived benefits from tourism inspite of the fact that the level of tourist arrivals was not
very high. For a country like India the arrival figures should have been more to get the real economic
benefits of tourism
I did my project report from a prominent company, PARADISE HOLIDAYS INDIA PVT. LTD. were
the first official travel company to be formed in 1758. the purpose of the training is to change attitude.
Training is about providing opportunities for learning and it is through learning that we may or may
not change behaviour. To summarize, in this report I have tried to do justice in explaining the 2
months of valuable training experience that I obtained at the organization. Working like an employee
in such a big brand has definitely provided me with significant competencies in me for today and forfuture. I have done full efforts to accumulate my experience in this report. Training makes the student
aware about effective tourism strategies, structures and planning systems. I have got the opportunity to
have a first hand practical knowledge of various aspects of the tourism industry and enhance the skills
and knowledge.
During training I got a chance to interact with different people like the prospective customers, tourism
professionals already working in the field, people working in the airlines, hoteliers and travel
agencies.
