Ctg to showcase tourism prospects

Bangladesh Foundation for Tourism Development (BFTD) will celebrate World Tourism Day on September 27 in Chittagong.
Rezaul Ekram, executive director of BFTD, said, “We are honored to be organising such a beautiful event on World Tourism Day 2011 as tourism is one of the most important sectors of our society.”
World Tourism Day is an excellent opportunity to raise awareness about this vital economic sector and its contribution to social economic and environmental well-being worldwide and in Bangladesh, said Ekram.
“We have the longest unbroken sea beach, Cox's Bazar, and the largest mangrove forest, the Sundarbans, in the whole world,” he added.
HM Hakim Ali, president of Bangladesh International Hotel Association and chairman of BFTD, will be the chief guest of the ceremony.
“If the government and private sectors come forward like in other tourism rich countries, Bangladesh will also be able to enrich its tourism sector,” said Ali.
BFTD will celebrate the day in collaboration with Hotel Agrabad.
“This event will have a positive impact on sustainable eco-tourism in Bangladesh,” said Fariaz Morshed Chowdhury, head of sales and marketing of Hotel Agrabad.
The event will include a high-level think tank on the year's tourism theme, said Chowdhury.
