The country's first ever housing fair for companies building apartment houses in prime tourism spots begins in the city on March 18 to woo clients seeking to spend quality leisure time in quality surroundings.
At least 64 companies will be taking part in the three-day RSRM-PRIAB housing fair at the Dhaka Sheraton Hotel, aimed at boosting sale of studio flats in the beach towns of Cox's Bazar and Kuakata and hilly resorts of Sylhet.
M Enayetullah, president of the Parjatan Real Estate Investors Association of Bangladesh (PRIAB), said scores of realtors are now building nearly 10,000 one-room studio flats in Cox's Bazar alone investing more than Tk50 billion.
"But a lot of people don't know what we have been doing in Cox's Bazar and in other tourism locations in the past three-four years," Enayetullah, also the managing director of Comfort Housing, told the FE.
"The aim of the fair is to promote our projects and inform the people about the fantastic flats that we are building in the country's top tourism locations, mainly in Cox's Bazar," he said.
He said the companies sold 1,000-1,500 studio flats alone last year. "But sale has been sluggish this year due to the economic slowdown.
