Chittagong Fours Desk :
In Bangladesh there are many problems that affect eco-tourism development in Chittagong hill tract. The major problems of eco-tourism are summarized below:
Lack of primary knowledge about eco-tourism
Most of the visitors do not have any sound knowledge about eco-tourism. Tourist actions frequently harm the environment in many different ways. One of them is sound pollution. Different visitors like to enjoy music loudly, which can be greatly upsetting to the guest and serene forest environment.
Inadequate psychological knowledge
Inadequate knowledge about the psychological condition of the human beings involved in tourism industry due to insensibility of the tourism corporation. Its characteristics deserve due consideration.
Lack of analysis existing miserable situations
Govt. neither adequately analyze the existing miserable situation and nor take proper steps for its rectification.
Conflict between the tribal and other people
Mainly psychological conflict is another problem of the eco-tourism. Tribal and the aborigines specially living in the main tourist spot. But they are sufferings from psychological problem, due to underdevelopment eco-tourism.
Lack of sense of responsibility of people
It is a major problem to promote eco-system in Bangladesh. Local people do not have sense of responsibility about the eco-tourism.
Lack of public awareness
Eco-tourism can lead to the formation of tourism manners. But due to lack of public awareness about environment it has failed.
Lack of basic facilities
Eco-tourism has not yet developed due to lack of basic facilities like accommodation, transportation and safety, which are key factors in maintaining the eco-tourism industry in Chittagong hill tract.
Lack of publications on eco-tourism
There are no enough published materials and publications on eco-tourism in Chittagong hill tract like handbook, poster, leaflet etc.
Harmful impacts
Eco-tourism is enhancement friendly. But we do not consider the harmful impact of this enterprise. We only give importance of the gain and loss in the business but do not establish good relationship with them for better impact.
Threatened biodiversity
Biodiversity is threatened in Chittagong hill tract due to a shift from subsistence to a cash economy and increasing population. The threat to Chittagong hill tract biodiversity is serious but not irreparable.
Deforestation
Deforestation is the most important problem of eco-tourism. Cash-crop development, urbanization and small- holder farming sometimes led to deforestation in our country adversely affective eco-tourism.
Insufficient attention
For development of eco-tourism industry and its marketing has found to give insufficient attention to the possible significance of cultural and natural heritage in Bangladesh. Many rainforests, mangrove forests and other eco-systems are not utilized as tourist attraction in Bangladesh.
Policy problem
Bangladesh lacks a national policy on eco-tourism. Thus adversely affect the govt. and privet sector eco-tourism activities.
Destruction by tourists
Unaware and careless tourists can be the cause of destruction. Tourists, who unmindfully or without caring anything throw away their left-over food scraps and drinks, leave behind synthetic articles or tin or plastic containers cause damage to the local environment in our country.
Negative image about Biman
The role of our national airlines is very important to develop tourism sector. But Biman Bangladesh has failed due to the poor capacities in marketing, bookings, onboard, service, image, maintenance, entertainment on board, poor quality of its in flight magazine etc. Therefore, Biman Bangladesh is not only losing its foreign tour operators but also providing to its passengers negative impact about the country.
