Cox’s Bazar and make it into a popular tourist destination

The topic of my article is how to improve Cox’s Bazar and make it into a popular tourist destination within one year, while keeping to budgetary constraints. I have chosen this topic because I want to see how the improvement of Cox’s Bazar can help revive the tourism industry of our country and give a boost to our economy.

I have concentrated on Cox’s Bazar because it has some unique traits. Not the least of which is the fact that it is considered to be the longest unbroken sea beach in the world at a breathtaking unbroken length of about 125 km. It was voted one of the Seven new wonders of the world. These factors make this the most attractive tourist spot in Bangladesh and also the one with the most potential. Our country’s financial base is not strong. So, when there are world renowned natural wonders lying stagnant in our backyard, we should try to fully utilize it. 

There are countries which have used tourism to revitalize their economy and make themselves known. These include, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand among others. These countries were not that developed before they invested in their tourism sector, and now they have become tourist hubs which are known throughout the world. This has done wonders for their economy. My belief is that the same can be done by Bangladesh.

Leisure spots and holiday destinations are very important to a country. It boosts the moral of the people who otherwise could not have gone abroad for vacation. Hence, the development of Cox’s Bazar should be a high national priority. It would also increase the publicity of Bangladesh around the world which would mean that we would have a presence in the world stage.
