Abstract

Garments tourism, which could be more consonant to fashion tourism, is still in its nascent stage, particularly in the context of developing countries like Bangladesh. Although Bangladesh is one of the largest exporters of apparel suppliers to the global market, most of its export was meant to be for the international fashion companies. By doing so, this has not only brought billions of dollars to the country’s economy but also created an avenue for thousands of businessmen/companies to travel to the country. The main purpose of this study is to look at the overall development of the garments industry in Bangladesh and how this industry could be translated into tourism. In so doing, the problems, prospects, and challenges of garments tourism are comprehensively discussed in this study. Overall, we argue that to revive garments tourism, the government should take aggressive measures to promote the branding of this industry by establishing and incentivizing the entrepreneurs, as well as making travel safe and sound for foreigners.
