Dhaka, Bangladesh : Bangladesh President Professor Dr Iajuddin Ahmed said Bangladesh is a land of immense potential for tourism, and the glorious history, culture and heritage and the innate beauty of the country are the rich components of this industry.
In a message on the eve of the World Tourism Day on Friday, the President said the tourism sector, therefore, could be more flourished by presenting these attractively at home and abroad and developing the country’s infrastructure.
He said global warming and climate change are imposing negative impact on the environment and biodiversity. The archeological sites, the main attractions of the tourism
industry, are not free from this impact, he added.
In this context, President Iajuddin said, the theme of this year’s day `Tourism Responding to the Challenge of Climate Change’ seems to be well-timed.
“I believe ensuring environment-friendly development in tourism sector would play a significant role in our national economy,” he hoped.
The President wished the World Tourism day a success.
