Marine tourism has become increasingly popular in recent years as people seek to escape their busy lives and explore the beauty of our oceans. Our country has a long coastline along the Bay of Bengal. Marine tourism has great potential as the country has natural beauty, varied marine life, and cultural significance. In 2021-22 our GDP in arts, entertainment, and recreation was BDT 60,737 million, which was only 0.16% of our total GDP with a growth rate of 13.72% (BBS GDP report 2021-22).
