Around 400,000 tourists expected in Cox’s Bazar during Eid holiday

As the Eid-ul-Fitr holiday approaches, Cox’s Bazar in Bangladesh is gearing up to welcome a large influx of tourists, with hoteliers expecting over 400,000 visitors. The tourism sector is poised to generate an estimated 6-7 billion Bangladeshi taka in revenue during the 5-day holiday period. Authorities have taken measures to ensure the safety and security of tourists, including deploying mobile courts to monitor for any price gouging by hotels and restaurants. With the popular destination of Bandarban facing recent safety concerns, Cox’s Bazar is expected to be a prime destination for the Eid break.(photo/prothomalo)
