Ecotourism is a form of tourism that focuses on preserving the natural environment while contributing to the development of local communities. According to The International Ecotourism Society (TIES), it is a responsible form of travel that connects environmental conservation, local well-being, and education.
One of Bangladesh's main ecotourism destinations is the Sundarbans, known as the world's largest mangrove forest and home to the Royal Bengal Tiger. It has been designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Besides the Sundarbans, Cox's Bazar, Inani Beach, Kuakata Beach, and Saint Martin Island are among Bangladesh's most popular eco-tourism spots. Saint Martin's Island features coral reefs and mangrove sanctuaries, which play a crucial role in biodiversity conservation.
The hill districts of Rangamati, Khagrachhari, and Bandarban are famous for their ethnic communities, unique culture, and indigenous traditions. Sajek Valley is currently one of the most popular tourist spots, where the presence of adventure seekers and nature enthusiasts is steadily increasing.
