Dhaka-- (UNB) - Dhaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI) will hold a three-day tourism fair in the city from November 23 aiming at promoting the country’s tourism and upholding cultural heritage.

This will be the first ever tourism fair initiated by a private sector body to popularise tourism just ahead of the peak season for tourists and boost tourism as a potential sector.

“The purpose of the fair is to create awareness among the tourists about the immense potentiality of tourism in Bangladesh and uphold the cultural heritage of our nation,” said an executive of the country’s premier chamber.

This will attract people from home and abroad to visit Bangladesh and help enhance revenue from tourism sector, he added.

Airlines, hotels and resorts, tour operators, tourism organisations, travel agents and other services relating to tours and travels will have their stalls in the Bangladesh Tourism Fair (BTF) 2000 at the DCCI building.

On this occasion, the Dhaka Chamber has organised a river cruise on Saturday (November 4). Some 400 local and foreign guests are expected to join the daylong river ride through the river Meghna and Padma up to Chandpur.
