There are countless opportunities to work in event related roles within these industries. And if you study travel management, there will be corporate jobs in the meetings department for you (many companies hire individuals to work in travel management to manage airline, hotel and other contracts). However, if you want to work in a corporate environment where you will be responsible for planning and executing events, many opportunities exist within the business areas of companies. Therefore, if you want to study marketing, public relations, advertising and business management, those programs may be stronger. In the end, I suggest you follow a path of studying the types of courses you enjoy most. Good luck. Rob<br><b>References : </b><br>http://eventplanning.about.com David,
