Abstract
A country’s touristy appeal majorly relies on its culture, archaeology, ancient heritage, historic palaces, natural beauty, etc. From this angle, Bangladesh can be considered as a touristic country. The present-day landmass that constitutes Bangladesh has a rich history with many tourist attractions. The Bangladesh economy is more integrated with the tourism industry. In this context, this research aims to outline the scenario and prospect of development and investment of tourism in the country. Findings of this review chapter show that adequate development and investments in the tourism industry of Bangladesh can facilitate the economy’s integration with greater financial and technical strengths.
