E -visa will encourage foreign travellers

The government is contemplating to introduce e-visa for the foreigners so that they can easily come to Bangladesh. Whenever I want to travel abroad the first thing that comes as a hurdle is getting a visa. If a country allows on-arrival visa, it becomes the first choice for the travellers as they think they can travel with ease and without trouble.

Every year, thousands of foreigners visit Bangladesh on various reasons and this number will increase many times if the e-visa system is introduced.  Tourism can become a big earner for the country like the readymade garments. We only need to promote it. The period from September to March is the prime time for the tourists to visit Bangladesh and get a comfortable weather as the sky is clear and it is sunny. Bangladesh can become a very attractive place for the foreign tourists, but unfortunately we do not give it the desired importance. The sector is being neglected. Bangladesh is a country where the travellers can have a nice time with lower cost. If we ease our visa system, it will benefit us immensely and will open a new door of opportunity. Bangladesh is a place of natural beauty that largely attracts foreign visitors. All we have to do is to create an atmosphere so that they can have some good time here.
