Dear Parth,

I hope you're doing well and enjoying your summer vacation. It is a well deserved break for you after all the hardwork you did in your class XII board exams. It must feel good to just relax at home and play cricket with your friends. I really enjoyed visiting your place last week. Your mother is such a good cook that I keep raving about her cooking to my family all the time!

When I visited you, there were a few discussions about what vocation you would like to choose since the board exams are over. Yesterday, I came across this interesting article in a newspaper which can help you make up your mind. I know that you have a passion for travelling, meeting new people and discovering new places. So I think that a career in tourism would be perfect for you.

You already have a few of the qualities which are the basic necessities for pursuing a career in this area. You have travelled far and wide and have extensive knowledge about people, places and ways to access them. You are enthusiastic about meeting new people and are a good conversationalist. In order to hone these qualities, you could join a diploma course in Travel and Tourism, Public Relations or Advertising. You could also do a certificate course with a travel agency. After completing any of these courses, you could work for government or any private firm or you could even start your own travel agency. All the best in making the perfect choice!

Your school friend,

Aditya Vikram
