Viva Career Academy prepares the next generation of travel professionals through trainer-led learning, industry discipline, and a modern AI-supported path into real travel careers.
VIVA has built a curriculum grounded in a simple belief: service is an art, operations are a science — and careers in travel demand mastery of both, and more.
Our graduates go on to manage outbound tours, inbound tours, conferences, MICE operations, lead guest experiences, and drive travel services across global markets.
We operate across India in collaboration with leading travel companies, OTAs, travel representation companies and tourism boards — ensuring that what you learn is always aligned with real industry practice.
Our faculty comprises seasoned professionals — former general managers, airline crew leaders, and destination specialists — who bring real-world experience into every session.
Live, instructor-led sessions are complemented by self-paced modules, enabling both students and working professionals to learn effectively.
Every programme concludes with an industry placement opportunity, supported by our dedicated placement team and global employer network.

Limited to 24 students. Maximum attention. Real outcomes. Train in a focused, small-group environment where every session is interactive, practical, and industry-led — delivered live over video and in VIVA regional studios, designed to mirror real-world collaboration.
Because you don't just attend classes — you build capability, confidence, and connections that translate into careers.
The first semester establishes a strong foundation in the core principles of the travel industry. Students develop a shared understanding of service standards, travel operations, worldwide travel scenarios, what an ideal travel company looks like, professional communication, and the ethics required for guest-facing roles.
Why it works — every module is designed to build practical capability through structured study, simulations, and industry-grade assignments, so students graduate with both the knowledge and the confidence to step into real travel roles.
