Importance of infrastructural Development for Community Based Tourism in Bandarban, Bangladesh

Dear Audience

This is our 9th Semester project work at Aalborg University, Copenhagen, Denmark. We have very limited time to submit. Therefore, we need quick answers from you all.

We are targeting people from the Chittagong division, especially from Bandarban district, even though everyone is welcome who wants to help me by answering some questions related to infrastructural Development for Community Based Tourism in Bandarban.

As you know, Bandarban is a hidden paradise, a remote area, and has very low rates of people living there without proper literacy and other facilities from the Government. To develop this community, it needs proper medical services, healthy sanitation systems, telecommunications, and internet facilities which can attract more domestic and foreign tourists.

Thanks

Have a Good Day

Regards
