Well Bangladesh does have short comings not being a tick-the-sights-off-the-list type of country. So you need to slow down here to relax, meet people and explore new ideas and ways of life and then you start having the Bangladesh as a destination for traveling. This is how we tell about our country to other nationals but it is a different scenario for our very own domestic travelers? In Bengali the word \u201cDesh\u201d means country. Our domestic population loves to refer to their locality as a \u201cDesh\u201d. No matter we are living, a tiny little country, yet people actually consider other localities as another \u201cDesh\u201d and act as such. So the whole bigger picture is the same for both the Inbound Foreign Travelers and our very own domestic travelers. Though the Government of Bangladesh tends to focus more on Inbound tourists while the statistics show us that we need to focus a lot more on our domestic tourists since they are the majority in case of monetary contribution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000; font-family: open-sans;\">A travel destination means a place with its identical culture of that place. For Bangladesh, we have a lot of places to offer tourists; both the Domestic and Inbound Tourists. We can classify them as the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000; font-family: open-sans;\"><strong>1.

Among all the tourists we can classify themselves into 6 categories.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000; font-family: open-sans;\"><strong>(i) Site Tourism:<\/strong> In Bangladesh, tourists travelling for leisure usually come to enjoy the natural beauty of the country. As indicated above, these tourists constitute the majority share (i.e. 46%) of the tourist inflow into the country according to the latest data. This clearly indicates a need to preserve and protect these spots, as well as provide necessary infrastructural development support to develop.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000; font-family: open-sans;\"><strong>(ii) Business tourism:<\/strong> Around 42 % of tourists visit Bangladesh for business purposes. A number of successful international business houses have set up local entities in Bangladesh, whereby a large number of expatriates travel to Bangladesh to work\/conduct business. Due to ever expanding RMG sector, large numbers of potential buyers and their delegates are required to visit the country on a regular basis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000; font-family: open-sans;\"><strong>(iii) Office Tourism:<\/strong> Tourists visiting Bangladesh under office tourism constituted only 1.5% of the tourist inflow to the country. This form of tourism is similar to business tourism in some aspect; however, this type predominantly focuses on the delegates of multinationals which have offices in Bangladesh. Many of these tourists arrive for tours of their local offices and provide assistance to what the offices may need.<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/bbf.digital\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_8887.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-5642 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/bbf.digital\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_8887-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_8887\" width=\"348\" height=\"522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bbf.digital\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_8887-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/bbf.digital\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_8887-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bbf.digital\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_8887.jpg 683w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 348px) 100vw, 348px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000; font-family: open-sans;\"><strong>(iv) Education Tourism:<\/strong> Education tourism is for students who want to enroll into educational institutions in the country. Many universities and other graduate level institutions organize international conferences and seminars where delegates from all over the world attend. These foreign delegates all fall under the category of educational tourism and they constituted 2.4% of the total number of tourists who visited the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000; font-family: open-sans;\"><strong>(v) Religious Tourism:<\/strong> Bangladesh is a Muslim majority nation and it organizes the Bishwa Ijtema which is the largest congregation of Muslims after the Holy Pilgrimage to Makkah. This annual event alone attracts a huge number of tourists from the Muslim world and constitutes 3.4% of the total tourist inflow into Bangladesh. Other religious groups in the country are relatively much smaller in number; however, their events do attract tourists although on a smaller scale.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: open-sans; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>(vii) Other Tourism:<\/strong> Other forms of tourism includes bicycle touring, boat sharing, cultural tourism, dark tourism, rural tourism, river cruise, nautical tourism, halal tourism, sports tourism, slum tourism, virtual tour, walking tour, wildlife tourism and water tourism. Very often, people come for short visits to meet relatives, participate in sports and international awareness program etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: open-sans; font-size: 12pt;\">The major two classes are Leisure Tourism and Business Tourism. Out of 100, Leisure tourism contributes 78% and rest 22% comes from Business Tourism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000; font-family: open-sans;\">The major two classes are Leisure Tourism and Business Tourism.

From economic point of view direct contribution of tourism in to GDP is BDT 296.6 bn. Total contribution from Tourism and its related industry is BDT 627.9 bn. The Total Employment from this industry is 19,84,000 jobs. Investment in this industry is BDT 60 bn alone in 2014-2015. Per annum growth of this industry is 6.5% and it is expected that the total contribution of tourism to the GDP would be BDT 1,252.8 bn by 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: open-sans; font-size: 12pt;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/bbf.digital\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/13987852_10204820108261792_326633590_o.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5635 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/bbf.digital\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/13987852_10204820108261792_326633590_o-300x141.jpg\" alt=\"13987852_10204820108261792_326633590_o\" width=\"558\" height=\"262\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bbf.digital\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/13987852_10204820108261792_326633590_o-300x141.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bbf.digital\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/13987852_10204820108261792_326633590_o-768x361.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bbf.digital\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/13987852_10204820108261792_326633590_o.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 558px) 100vw, 558px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000; font-family: open-sans;\">To achieve this milestone there are some bottlenecks for the development of tourism such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000; font-family: open-sans;\">Lack of tourism friendly infrastructure.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000; font-family: open-sans;\">Unplanned development of tourism attractive places.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000; font-family: open-sans;\">Absence of tourism friendly policy to develop tourism.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000; font-family: open-sans;\">Insufficient information on the web.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000; font-family: open-sans;\">Absence of professional services regarding tourism.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000; font-family: open-sans;\">Security issues in remote places and highways.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000; font-family: open-sans;\">Absence of activities and night life in tourist spots.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000; font-family: open-sans;\">Over pricing during peak seasons.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000; font-family: open-sans;\">Restriction for foreign nationals traveling in remote places.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000; font-family: open-sans;\">Absence of proper channel management system in tourism.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000; font-family: open-sans;\">These bottlenecks won\u2019t remain as bottlenecks if we take a few initiatives such as following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000; font-family: open-sans;\">Developing a tourism friendly development policy.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000; font-family: open-sans;\">Strengthen the Bangladesh Tourism Board to set up tourist supporting offices all over the country.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000; font-family: open-sans;\">Developing the connectivity and ensure tourist friendly transportation system.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000; font-family: open-sans;\">Branding the tourist attractive places with necessary information and make them available on the web.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000; font-family: open-sans;\">Increasing the strength of Tourist Police and Highway Police for ensuring safe tourism.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000; font-family: open-sans;\">Developing activity based tourism friendly infrastructure in tourist attractive places.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000; font-family: open-sans;\">Promoting experience based tourism.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000; font-family: open-sans;\">Control of services price and quality.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000; font-family: open-sans;\">Provide necessary support to develop proper tourism supporting channel management in tourism industry.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000; font-family: open-sans;\">Traditionally Bangladesh is a tourist friendly country, no matter where you are or who you are, you can get help from people regarding anything. In other countries you may take the help of GPS and Google Navigation to get proper directions, but all you need in Bangladesh is your approach to people. To roam around Bangladesh all you need is to pack your backpack and go out and speak to people. You will get all the direction and tips to roam around. Just smile at someone, approach them with words that are appropriate for their age and gender and you would be amazed by their responses. I was reading a blog in TripAdvisor by a Dutch National who was roaming around Khulna City and asked a university student for directions, the boy whom he asked for direction, bunked classes and took him to all the places where he wanted to travel and finally took him to his house to offer dinner to the foreign traveler. So there are tourism friendly social practices in our country but the lack of tourism friendly infrastructures and services are the causes behind the proper development of tourism in Bangladesh. We need to connect the dots with general people\u2019s attitude with infrastructural supports. Bangladesh has a handful of beautiful and attractive places to offer, people here are eager to show the Bangladeshi hospitality to the tourists. Bangladesh can offer a new experience with the unique culture and explore and meet people and new ideas of life. Connecting all the dots, Bangladesh is quite a destination for travelers with rather beautiful places and pretty good astonishing services. What makes Bangladesh a unique traveler\u2019s destination is its unique way of how \u201cLife Happens Here\u201d every day!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: open-sans; font-size: 12pt;\">[spacer color=&#8221;2965B3&#8243; icon=&#8221;fa-book&#8221; style=&#8221;1&#8243;]<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: open-sans; font-size: 12pt;\">About the Author<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000; font-family: open-sans;\"><strong>Masuk Ur Rahman<br \/>\nCEO, Book2Tour.com<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: open-sans; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">Photo Courtesy: Aatosh<\/span><\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"xs_social_share_widget xs_share_url after_content \t\tmain_content  wslu-style-1 wslu-share-box-shaped wslu-fill-colored wslu-none wslu-share-horizontal wslu-theme-font-no wslu-main_content\">\n\n\t\t\n        <ul>\n\t\t\t        <\/ul>\n    <\/div> \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Think of a country where in every aspect people keep complaining about development, infrastructure and services issues but whenever someone visits and goes back they say a different story other than negative issues.
