Take a gap year where you travel for up to a year and if you find something you like then go with that, otherwise you can always go to university when you get home. Don't worry about being a year behind your friends, because the experiences you get with travel will far outweigh anything they have done in the meantime. Besides travelling can help you decide what you want to focus on at uni, so give it a go and enjoy.

Don't try to do both, coz it's difficult to put an appropriate amount of time and energy into both things, so you'll miss out in some areas.

The travel and tourism industry is huge and it's global . Everyone wants to travel and see places they've never been before and as there are places around to visit, there are as well jobs needed in such places. Along with your travel and tourism degree, I would also study a different language(s) and as well international politics perhaps. This would give you an edge and appear more International. You would then stand out to perspective employers as well.

Study abroad.

Travel, but just study in the car or the plane, it works really good.
