COX'S BAZAR, March 14 (BSS): Unplanned and unauthorised construction of hotels and motels in Cox's Bazar town and adjoining areas has blurred the beauty of the world's largest sea beach, compromising its tourism potentials.
Mayor and local administration, two main custodians of the 105km long natural beach, said that the beach town had 400 hotels, motels, resorts and guest houses, but only 60 of them had taken registration from proper authorities before their constructions.
"Cox's Bazar is losing its main and rare characteristics: the sea in the front and the hills in the rear, which give a spectacular view to thousands of domestic and international tourists in the beach town," Mayor of Cox's Bazar municipality Sarwar Kamal told .
