Follow your heart. Do what you feel passionate for. For me this was a career in the Army, but do what you want to do. Do it because you like it, not because you're expected to follow a certain path or think you'll earn more money going down x path (IMO).
It sounds like your two choices have very different implications. Tourism, I don't know much about said field, but it definitely sounds fundamentally different than data processing/computing. This goes back to my original point. Do what makes you happy; whether that be tourism or working with computers. Tourism you get to see the world, meet new people, while computer-related jobs you're working with computers constantly and (imo) gets repetitive to a certain degree. However, the computing industry is rapidly growing and so is demand for competent workers to maintain computer systems. However, you did mention it's not popular in your area... But I think there would be more job security in IT-related fields.
