The tourism industry could be a rising sector in the economy of Bangladesh. But why in backward?

Are you in trouble? Are you upset? 

Keep an eye on the tourism industry. Much can be attributed to unknown, from which mind could be filled with joy. Along with the economic development of the country, people will be entertained.
But have we done it really? Unfortunately, despite of having enormous potential source in this sector,it has not led to the development like other county.
But it's time for change and we should take tourism as a partner, it will help you to change.
Let’s take a look, why we can’t?
• Budget crisis in the tourism industry.
• Lack of security in tourist area.
• Underdeveloped transportation system discourages tourists.
• Robbery and terrorism in the tourist area discourages tourists.
• We're wasting the beauty of tourist area with garbage and waste materials.
• As a result of deforestation, animals became almost vanished. That’s why the tourism industry is falling behind.
Due to the lack of English-speaking people in the country, foreigners cannot walk in comfort. Though there is some renowned hotel in city centric area, but it is rare in tourism area. That discourages tourists.
• Tourists do not feel safe in this country due to the law and order situation in the country.
• Although there is clean water in the world’s attractive beach but in cox’s-bazar water is wasted by industrial toxic.
• The consequence of the ongoing political unrest is hampering the tourism industry.
• The lack of sufficient information about the tourism industry in online.
• The Bangladesh government budgets are low in this sector. And whatever is not being fulfilled due to corruption.
• Some are being destroyed due to lack of trained personnel responsible for tourism industry.

Threat To Ratargul Swamp Forest

There will be NO Ratargul Swamp Forest within 5 years!!

Tourists have a full access to the all parts of the forest easily, they play sounds in mikes in high volume inside the forest, they throw packets, bottles, papers in the water which pollutes the water and is a barrier to the living of many rare fishes. The animals and the rare plant species of the forest are minimizing day by day. There is a 5 storied watch tower inside the forest, here many tourist come everyday. The local people said, it has been a great tourist attraction and it is a threat for the forest conversation. Moreover, the watch tower is very risky, the infrastructure is not very strong. It could collapse at any time. If it happens there will be a great harm to the the human lives and the ecosystem as well.

The environmentalists say that, the initiative of forest department to make the plantation of “jalibeth” will lead to the immense destruction of the forest. The illegal encroachment of the forest have minimized its area. In 1973 the area was 504 acres, but now the area is 325.6 acres. And the rate is still lowering. If this scenario continues, we will lost our Ratargul Swamp Forest within a few years. So as this is our national property so its our duty to protect this forest.

Reason for recently foreign Remittance fall in BANGLADESH

Helping unemployed migrant workers abroad find decent jobs, improving the skill composition of new migrants, ensuring the competitiveness of the exchange rate, and ring fencing remittance transactions from the impact of political turmoil will help stem the decline in remittances which experiencing in Bangladesh.

But recently Bangladesh is facing the decreasing revenue from foreign sector. Bangladesh Bank (BB) data shows that country`s inward foreign remittance dropped sharply in the last couple of months.

There are four factors that can potentially account for the decline in remittances: the stock of Bangladeshi migrants abroad, earnings per migrant worker, their average propensity to save, and their average propensity to remit money home out of those savings.

The standard refrain appears to be that the flow of remittance has declined because the stock of Bangladeshi migrants abroad is not growing like it used to. This is because of two reasons. First, Bangladesh is failing to send more workers abroad to traditional markets and exploring new market. Second, the number of migrant workers returning to Bangladesh has also increased because the government could not resolve problems related to the legal status of Bangladeshi migrant labors in Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirat and Kuwait through diplomatic channels. Unfortunately, there is no reliable time series on the annual number of migrant returning.

Average earnings may have declined because of increased unemployment and/or decreased wages of illegal migrants in GCC countries in particular as the authorities tightened enforcement of regulation against illegal migrants.

American election can be a matter of thinking for upcoming fall of remittance. It can be occur a huge impact on Bangladesh economy.
