Chattogram City Mayor Dr. Shahadat Hossain visits a stall after inaugurating the three-day Chattogram tourism fair (Chittagong Travel Mart 2025) at The Peninsula Chittagong hotel on Thursday. Bangladesh requires a separate and dedicated tourism ministry to further harness the country's tourism potential. The industry can be the fourth largest contributor to the national GDP, given that necessary policy and infrastructure support are provided.
Dr. Shahadat Hossain, Mayor, Chattogram City Corporation, said this as the chief guest while formally inaugurating the three-day Chattogram tourism fair at The Peninsula Chittagong hotel on Thursday, says a press release.
Titled as Chittagong Travel Mart (CTM) 2025 the fair is organised by the premier travel and tourism publication The Bangladesh Monitor. Leading private sector airline US-Bangla Airlines and the popular online travel agency Buy Tickets are supporting the fair as the partners.
"The Chattogram City Corporation is currently working to develop and promote new tourism products of the port city," said the mayor. He urged the concerned authorities to upgrade Chattogram airport to facilitate development of the sector.
CTM 2025 will remain open for visitors from 10 am to 8 pm every day until 17 May, 2025.
