Meanwhile, the country’s tourism industry is also experiencing slow but steady improvement through increased domestic travel and notable growth in foreign tourism, fuelling a demand for hotels in key destinations. According to contacts, Bangladesh has 32 international hotels, 11 of which are �ve star hotels. Most of these hotels are located in Dhaka, Chittagong, and Cox’s Bazar, mainly catering to the business community and tourists. Although hotel and restaurant facilities are developing in major cities and tourist destinations, many provincial district towns lack quality hotels even for domestic visitors. Recreational opportunities, nightlife activities, and other attractions are relatively scarce; further development of the tourism sector may help attract additional HRI investment. Many hotels source food products from modern retail outlets, importers, and distributors; however, contacts noted it sometimes it is di�cult to regularly source speci�c brands or imported food products due to erratic supplies.

Such vast, untapped potential and urgent needs in the country’s industries are what the BANGLAFOOD’18 and BANGLAHOTEL’18 Expos seek to address by bringing together global brands and key decision makers that can bene�t the

parties involved as well as the country on the whole. Whether your objective is to conduct market feasibility studies, seek local partners and distributors, increase existing market shares in Bangladesh, maintain relationships with key clients, or simply look for new opportunities with foreign partners, you are certain to meet your objectives at theBANGLAFOOD’18and BANGLAHOTEL’18 Expos.

Bangladesh’s economy has been experienced an upsurge in recent times, with a growing Gross Domestic Product of seven per cent and a stable in�ation rate. With the improving economy, consumer spending, disposable incomes and personal savings are also experiencing positive momentum. Bangladesh has rapidly become a mammoth sized consumer market consisting of almost 160 million consumers which is beingdriven by catalytic factors such as age and gender distribution, increasing urban population, expanding labour force, increasing literacy rate, rising middle class, a growing white collar culture and globalization.All of these factorshave and continue to fuel an ever-growing demand for a wider variety of food and drink products.Furthermore, the rising contribution of Food & Beverage revenues and high pro�tability resulting from low cost of operations has made Bangladesh a lucrative market for hotel investments.
