Eco-tourism and Sundarban

Now days around the world, eco-tourism is very popular. Sunderban can be a major site for eco-tourism. Bangladesh government is now trying to promote eco tourism in the Sundarbans. The government has created a forest management plan and eco-tourism plan. Through eco-tourism, the government is planning to raise people’s conscious at the same time making money for forest development.

At present, the Parjatan corporation of Bangladesh operates a tour package to the Sundarbans. At the present stage, eco-tourism exists at a very small basis.

 

Below are given some  of eco-tourism activities promoted by Sundarban Biodiversity Conservation Project:

  • Establishment of an Information and Education Centre in Khulna for both the international and domestic visitors to the SRF.
  • Establishment of a Mangrove Interpretation and Visitor Centre in Karamjal, at the boundary of the SRF.
  • Putting into practice the first Code of Ethics and Conduct for visitors to the Sundarban.
  • Licensing of tour operators conducting eco-tourism operations in the Sundarban.
  • Promotion and enforcement of the first Tour Operators Eco-tourism nature guidelines.
  • Production of wildlife and eco-tourism videos for educational purposes, environmental awareness and promotion and marketing .
