Abstract

Bangladesh, a host of natural beauties is emphasizing to develop sustainable tourism strategies for its economic development. As the fourth largest Muslim populated country and becoming the host of second largest annual Muslim gathering “Biswa Ijtema”, this country holds a bright prospect for a halal tourism destination. Halal tourism promotes the needs of Muslim tourists through facilities, infrastructure, and tourism products and services. The present study is an attempt to investigate the prospect of developing halal tourism in Bangladesh. A brief discussion on halal tourism attractions has been elaborated and their opportunity scope is critically discussed. The result shows that the tourism industry is expanding in recent years and its contribution to the total economy is growing. The government of Bangladesh should take a strategic plan for using this high opportunity to boost up the contribution of halal tourism to its growing economy. A public-private partnership in a stable political condition and sustainable communal harmony is essential for further development of halal tourism in Bangladesh.
