Cox's Bazar, the world's longest natural sea beach over 120 kilometers, is the crown gem of Bangladesh's tourism industry and one of the country's most promising gateways for foreign investment.  The region is witnessing a wave of transition, with infrastructure, hotel, and mega development projects combining to create an international business hub.  With Cox's Bazar foreign Airport under construction, designed to handle wide-bodied aircraft and direct global flights, the city is quickly becoming the primary entrance point for high-value foreign visitors.  For international hotel chains, construction companies, and tourism developers, the potential here are huge and almost unexplored.

This transformation is not limited to Cox’s Bazar alone. Kuakata, once a quiet coastal town, is now experiencing similar momentum under government-backed development plans. Large-scale eco-tourism parks, beach protection projects, and high-end hospitality ventures are reshaping the destination’s identity. Projects like Kuakata Eco-Tourism Park and beach restoration initiatives are designed to balance sustainability with modern appeal, while also attracting foreign construction partners and technology-driven solutions. Together, Cox’s Bazar and Kuakata are emerging as the new frontier of Bangladesh’s seaside tourism.

The scale of these initiatives highlights just how ambitious the country’s vision has become. Sabrang Tourism Park in Cox’s Bazar spans 940 acres with floating jetties, oceanariums, and even underwater restaurants, while Naf Tourism Park on Jaliar Island is advancing under a public-private partnership model. Inland, Dhaka’s Kallyanpur Hydro Eco Park integrates ecological conservation with modern urban recreation, reflecting the government’s commitment to sustainable tourism. At the same time, a master plan for 13 coastal islands—including St. Martin’s, Nijhum Dwip, and Sonadia—signals a nationwide strategy to expand eco-park development on both land and sea.

These projects are also reshaping the economy. Tourism already contributes about 3% of Bangladesh’s GDP, and with the government earmarking $1.08 billion for 10 tourism clusters in the Tourism Roadmap 2024–2041, the sector’s growth potential is enormous. For global investors, Bangladesh’s eco-tourism growth extends well beyond resorts and hotels—it includes advanced coastal engineering, marina development, urban design, and green building technologies. For international partners, this is the moment to join the transformation and shape a story that will inspire both investors and visitors for decades to come.
