Sreemangal in Moulvibazar, known as the ‘Capital of Tea’, has been transformed for the Eid al-Azha holiday. Sreemangal, full of natural beauty, is now one of the most popular tourist destinations in Bangladesh. Surrounded by green tea gardens, hilly paths, haors, forests, and rare species of wildlife, this region has become an ideal place to visit during the long Eid holiday.
With government holidays from June 5 to 14 and educational institutions closed until June 19, the pressure from tourists is very high. Many are planning to spend a few days in the natural and peaceful environment with their families during this long holiday. Already, 90 percent of the bookings have been completed in about 100 hotels and resorts in Sreemangal.
Nurul Alam, General Manager of Tea Haven Resort, said that all their rooms have been booked in advance from June 7 to 12, and maximum facilities have been arranged for tourists.
Tanvir Sarkar of Shantibari Eco Cottages said that today’s tourists are looking for a different experience. Tourists are interested in coming back again and again if there are additional facilities, not just the natural environment outside the city.
