Abstract
Sundarban is the largest mangrove forest of the earth which covers almost 10000 square kilometers (3,900 sq. mi) in the Northern Bay of Bengal of which 6017 km2 (2323 sq ml) extended through the Khulna division of Bangladesh. Mangrove forests are extremely prolific and diverse ecosystems, providing a comprehensive array of direct ecosystem facilities for inhabitants. Dhaka & Kolkata is the most crowded cities in the world and Sundarban helps the people who lived in those cities from the different natural calamities like cyclone, strong disaster, and their worst effects. Bangladesh is a country where nature has exposed all its beauties. The aesthetic beauty of mountains, a unique ecosystem of the Sundarbans, the amity of mountains and clouds, bright shade of green trees and forests, the vastness of the sea, the world's longest sea beach, archaeological sites, religious places, ample tea gardens have brought the great potential for Bangladesh in the world tourism industry.Though the Sundarbans is one of the three world heritage sites in Bangladesh, it badly lacks proper tourist facilities. Proficient supervision of the tourist economy at any destination not only contributes to the visitors’ experience augmentation but supplements the opportunities available also and guards the atmosphere whilst safeguarding the interest of the host municipal and businesses functioning within it. The main purpose of this study was to find out how to develop the tourism economy in the Sundarbans effectively. Using a comparison with a high-quality visitor's gladness can be confirmed and the impact of tourism on Sundarbans’ atmosphere and to its host municipal can be accomplished.The study found, two main reasons are liable not to fostering the tourism economy in Bangladesh. The first one is the lack of resource constraints and the second is inadequate initiatives from the government to uplift (particularly infrastructural facilities) tourism in the country to make it known to prospective visitors in the world. The study recommends public and private investments and initiatives to foster the potential of the Sundarbans.
