Advance Concept of Tourism : Border Tourism
Have you ever thought of border tourism? The importance of border tourism, attractive places of border areas are increasing day by day due to the extension of border connectivity. You cannot believe how much our border areas are enriched for the attraction of tourists unless you see it by your own eyes. Before that want to say what is border tourism? In easy language, border tourism is that tourism when tourists spend more than 24 hours for living, sightseeing, camping, trekking, eating and recreational activities with a view to watching the attractions of tourism in border places. Bangladesh has border connection with two countries- India and Myanmar. These two countries are connected by 34 districts of Bangladesh. Bangladesh is surrounded by three sides India, one side Myanmar, and another side Bay of Bengal.
Our main rivers are created by the falling of Indian hilly waterfalls. By creating these biggest rivers we have gotten only one delta-country in the world. We have 750 rivers in here and there. Bangladesh is also known as a reverie country. When you will visit our border areas, you can feel the heaven scenario on the earth. You won’t go to India for enjoying the mind blowing beauty of Himalaya; you can easily see the beauty of Himalaya from Banglabandha area of Panchagarh district. Besides Sylhet, Rangamati, Bandarban, Rangamati, Khagrachari, Cox’s bazaar we have more border districts which are plentiful with natural resources and scenic beauty. These natural attractions and scenic beauty of border districts’ areas put motion in the mind of domestic and foreign tourists travelling in Bangladesh frequently.
After establishing rail road connection with India, Myanmar and others neighboring countries of south-Asian region; foreign tourists will come to Bangladesh for business, pilgrimage, entertainment, recreation and other purposes. If we take proper planning for the development of border tourism, it will be number one potential tourism segment for Bangladesh tourism which will contribute to a large GDP growth, employment, earning foreign exchange and so on.
