  • Economy Mega Plan to Boost Tourism with Exclusive Zone
    Economy Mega plan to boost tourism with exclusive zone . The government is moving ahead to have its first exclusive tourism park in Cox's Bazar to boost the tourism industry developing world-class luxury hotels and ensuring modern facilities like other countries, which bring sun-seekers to beaches. The project site is located with exclusive beach front and half-an-hour sea cruise to St. Martins, a coral island. He said a draft summary in this regard has been sent to the Prime Minister's Office seeking CCEA's (Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs) approval for appointing Chittagong Dry Dock Limited (CDDL) to construct an embankment for protecting the Exclusive Tourism Park. Some 884 acres of land, according to the BEZA officials, have already been acquired while the initial site assessment is also completed. They said the 'purest' air, lofty hill, sea and lagoon create perfect conditions for the development of all types of tourism entertainment at Sabrang in Teknaf upazila under Cox's Bazar district. Director of the Tour Operators' Association of Bangladesh (TOAB) Taufiq Rahman hailed the decision and said inbound tourism will certainly flourish in the country if the project is properly implemented. "If you want to encourage inbound tourism, foreigners must be given something exclusive. It exists in other parts of the world. There should be separate facilities for foreign and local tourists," Taufiq, also the founder Chief Executive Officer of Journey Plus, told the news agency. He said that they had tried to attract foreign tourists to Cox's Bazar in the past, but failed as they did not get what they want as part of leisure tourism.
