Centripetal force is a force which acts inwards towards the center of circular motion(centripetal = 'center-seeking'). hence direction of tension will be the same as direction of centripetal force, i.e, towards center of motion.

Another way to think about this is that centrifugal force (mind this: it is NOT a real force. It is a PSEUDO force which is used in non-inertial frames of reference to apply newtons laws) is acting outward, hence tension force will act inwards.
