riverine beauty

[khadijatul kobra]

Tourism prospects of the country's riverine beauty do not only remain untapped but also face a steady decline of the inland river ways losing navigability and past glory, thanks to lack of maintenance and desired services.The rosy prospect of riverine tourism faded with successive governments having ignored the sector decade after decade.People in general and tour operators lament the decline on lack of safe and tourist-friendly river vessels.The foreign tourists in particular are interested in exploring the people, local culture, nature and serene beauty of the rivers. They also show interests to hilly rivers and wetlands like Haor.A total of nearly 5,500 tourists guided every year by Bengal Tours, 35,000 are foreigners, said its director M Rafiqul Islam.
