Saint Martin's Island needs improvements

The Saint Martin's Island is an important tourist spot in Bangladesh, with around 20,000 tourists visiting the place every day. However, the jetty by which people enter and embark from the ships in the island is risky and in poor condition. It also continues to get dirty and lose its natural beauty with each passing day, under pressure of such large amounts of tourists. 

This island possesses great potential for contribution to the national economy. Constructive development initiatives should therefore be implemented to preserve and polish the natural beauty of the place.
