  • Sheikh Saleh- Impact of Tourism in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh
    Impact of Tourism in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh Sheikh Saleh Ahammed 2010 Master in Public Policy and Governance Program Department of General and Continuing Education North South University, Bangladesh i To Shapla for travelling with me and To Arnob & Pritha for giving me reasons to stay put. ♥ ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENT When I embarked on my ‘master’s journey’, I decided that, although being the first, this would be the very last page of the thesis that I would write. Over the months, writing the acknowledgements has become a symbol for being very close to achieving one of the greatest goals of my life. Hence, it is with immense relief and a hint of sadness that I realize that I have come to the end of my journey. I have reached this particular destination and learnt a lot in the process, not least, about how complex tourism development is and what impact it leaves on. In this spirit of reflection, I would like to take the opportunity to thank some important travelling companions who have helped me along the way. Although I am solely responsible for its contents, the completion of this thesis paper would not have been possible without support from a number of persons to whom I am deeply indebted. First, I want to express my gratitude to the people of Cox’s Bazar town and its sub-urban areas who have taken time to enlighten me on the issues covered in this dissertation. Without your participation in the interviews, help with practical matters, generosity and friendship this thesis would never have materialized.

  • Determinants of Religious Tourism: an Empirical Investigation
    Journal of Business Studies, Vol. XL, No. 3, December 2019 Determinants of Religious Tourism: An Empirical Investigation Prosanjit Saha* Biplab Roy** Abstract: Religious tourism presumably the oldest form of tourism in which the tourists search for tranquility and sacred experience. Despite having promising faith centers in different parts of Bangladesh, religious tourism receives little research attention. Owing to inadequate understanding and precise portrayal of religious tourism’s products, domestic travelers often exclude religious attractions out of their usual year round itinerary. This study aims to identify major determinants for developing religious tourism in a credible way to the travelers. Through snowball sampling, 100 respondents who visited at least once to any religious sites was surveyed face to face. Descriptive statistics portrayed the demographic profile of the respondents and Regression analysis explored the influence of each determinant. The results make contribution by suggesting that unique branding and communicating religious values through social media promotion determine the success of religious tourism. Moreover, the study offered some managerial implications to develop Bangladesh as an attractive religious tourism hub. Keywords: Religious Tourism, Unique and consistent branding, interpreting religious values, sustainable policies, innovative promotion. Introduction Tourism is now considered as one of the most dominant sectors in the world consisting multifarious forms and diverse nature. One of the most sensible and prevalent forms of tourism is religious tourism. It can be defined as travel with the core motive of experiencing religious forms, or the products they induce, like art, culture, traditions and architecture. According to the Ministry of Tourism of Brazil (MTUR) (2010), “Religious Tourism is the set of tourism activities arising from the spiritual quest and religious practice in places and in events related to institutional religions, regardless of creed or ethnic origin”.
