Establishment of Intl. standard tourism complex at existing Motel Upal compound of BPC at Cox’s Bazar

Abstract

Tourism and hospitality hold a very significant position in the future development of this country as we are graduating ourselves to the middle-income economy. We have been able to achieve some maturity in some of the export-oriented industries, along with agriculture. However, one of the most important, thriving sectors which could really help our economy improve – ‘tourism and hospitality’ – was long been neglected. It has both local and international implications and we have not tapped its full potential yet. Through this sector, we could export skilled hospitality professionals to abroad and also earn foreign remittances. To sum it up, it can be said that this area still remains as unventured and neglected. Tourism has been experiencing decline in interest for foreign travelers, whereas in many developing countries like ours, tourism has played a vital role in the development of those countries. As this sector is completely service-oriented; therefore, the strategic development of its tourism products depends creating more international standard examples. In order to restructure ourtourism activities, a tourism complex that will have adequate accommodation and entertainment facilities will be required. The design of the International standard tourism complex is aimed at creating a paradigmatic architectural resolution that the country’s policy makers, public representatives and even the academia including students of architecture would be greatly benefitted from.
