Boom in local hospitality industry
Friday, 13 June 2008
THE hospitality industry is witnessing a boom across the world. Bangladesh is no exception. A plethora of new hotels opened in Dhaka, Cox's Bazaar, Chitagong and Sylhet. Such hotels remain largely overbooked.
In Bangladesh, hospitality industry is doing well. The mushrooming restaurants are doing good business. Who thought 10 years ago that so many would people queue up for take-away pizzas from petrol forecourts? Many new and more interesting food outlets are coming. This is a positive development.
Hospitality has always been an industry in which bright entrepreneurs can succeed, regardless of qualification, and employers are now realising this.
