Mehedi Hasan/ Dhaka TribuneBPC identifies 800 potential spots in six divisionsWith better facilities and infrastructure, the newly explored tourist spots can rejuvenate the tourism sector and contribute significantly in the rural economy to recover from the Covid-19 pandemic. If new places can be developed, then overcrowding of the popular tourist spots would be reduced,” he suggested. Kefayet Shakil, a journalist who covers environment and tourism beats for a local electronic media, emphasized rural tourism to ensure natural conservation, and preservation of rural traditions and cultures. We do not visit those spots as much due to lack of tourist facilities, absence of infrastructural development and security. But by developing rural tourism, we can enhance the rural economy, which will have a positive impact on the country's GDP, he further said.
