Beza Tourism Initiative to Transform Cox’s Bazar

16 Oct 2019

Plans have been set in motion for some time now to transform the tourism sector of Bangladesh. As of now, the government has taken up three projects, specifically Naf Tourism Park, Sabrang Tourism Park and Sonadia Eco Tourism Park, which are all based in the district of Cox’s Bazar. Bangladesh Economic Zone Authorities (Beza) aims to generate $2 billion for the economy and create two hundred thousand new jobs from these parks. Beza is set to offer 100% tax exemption for the first 10 years, followed by 70% and 30% tax exemptions in the 11th and 12th year, respectively. The Sabrang Tourism Park is at the lip of the island BadorMokam, where one can enjoy sun rise and sun set on a sandy beach.
