Tourism In the past five years Saint Martin’s visitor population has
increased dramatically
Presently there are many efforts being put forth to preserve the
several endangered species of turtles
Pieces of the coral reef are being removed in order to be sold to
tourists.
Species of fish, a few just recently discovered, are being
overfished. Every year the fishermen must venture further out
to sea to get their catch. Most of them use motor less boats.

Shops
Many small shops near the dock/port and along
the main road
Relatively cheap from the main town
Dry fish is relatively cheap and high quality
Sea shells and things made from them are sold
Illegal and leads to the depletion of sea life
There are also some fake product come from
Myanmar and China
Eat Food is a little more expensive
here than on the mainland
All of the hotels also have
restaurants with basically the
same typical Bangladeshi
offerings
Chicken is sometimes available
but not very tasty
Lobster and crab may be
available occasionally at very
high prices.
The islanders also sell dried fish,
which is a bit more expensive

Climate and weather
Best weather usually between November and
February
March and July - off-season - a tourist must
keep his eyes on the forecast keenly, as a
cyclone can strike during these times.
The island was devastated by a cyclone but
has fully recovered, and was untouched by
the 2004 tsunami.
Economic Effect of Tourism in Bangladesh
Recommendation Local people have to be informed about the attractions rich in history,
culture, and heritage.
Tourism facilities and services like accommodation, food and beverage,
entertainments, travel agents, tour operations, shopping malls,
supermarkets, transporters have to be established in good number in
international standard in different tourist areas by public and private
sectors.
Tourism Call Centers may be introduced like ‘Medical Call Centers’ and
‘Legal Call Centers’ to keep potential tourists informed about the tourism
products, facilities and services available in all over Bangladesh.
Conclusion
World tourism industry appeared as competitive and
promising sector
Earns foreign currency
Creates image of the country
Natural, ecological, historical, cultural and other form of
tourism based tourism industry of Bangladesh has huge
potentials to develop due to its kind.
Government of Bangladesh, different concerned ministries
and the industry itself should take necessary measures.
