Unlocking tourism industry's potential

Despite our country's rich cultural heritage, breathtaking landscapes, and diverse ecosystems, its tourism potential remains largely underutilised. With proper investment and strategic planning, this industry can become a key driver of economic progress.
Neighbouring countries have successfully leveraged their tourism sectors to boost employment, attract foreign investment, and showcase their national treasures. Bangladesh can follow suit by focusing on crucial areas such as enhancing tourism infrastructure, promoting eco-friendly travel, and marketing our distinctive destinations on the global stage.
Eco-tourism presents an excellent opportunity to encourage sustainable travel while conserving our natural wonders. By investing in eco-friendly accommodations and protected nature reserves, we can draw environmentally conscious tourists and preserve our ecosystems simultaneously.
