Bangladesh is a country with great potential for eco-tourism. Although the sector is less known in this country there are a lot of scopes for eco-tourism in Bangladesh. The vast natural resources of the country with the age-old tribal community make a great host for eco-tourism activity. There are lots of people mostly tribal communities are doing the eco-tourism activity in the rural areas. Most of the people are unaware of the eco-tourism activity happening in the country. For lack of proper promotions and other things, this sector is still an alien in the tourism industry of Bangladesh.
