Bangladesh Traveller begins its journey on 11.11

On 11 November 2026, Bangladesh Traveller begins its journey.

The publication opens with a soft launch at 5 pm that day, among colleagues from the tourism industry, at the Amberwood Ventures office in Karwan Bazar, Dhaka. It is a deliberately small start: a room of people who build tourism in Bangladesh every day, from hotels, tour operators, transport and travel media, meeting to talk about what the country's travellers and its tourism industry need from a publication like this one.

From that evening, bangladeshtraveller.com and our pages on social media are open to everyone.

Why Bangladesh Traveller

Sixty-four districts. Countless rivers, hills, haors and forests, and one of the longest natural sea beaches in the world. Bangladesh has more to offer travellers than most people, at home or abroad, realise.

Yet its travel story is still largely untold. Most of what is known is scattered across social media posts, video comments and word of mouth. Rules change from season to season, prices move, and travellers are left to piece together information that is often out of date.

We are here to bring those stories together, check them, and tell them properly, in Bangla and in English.

Our commitment: tourism development

Tourism can create work in every district: boatmen on the haors, hotel staff in Cox's Bazar, guides in the tea gardens of Sylhet, cooks, drivers, artisans and small business owners. For that potential to be realised, three things have to happen together.

Travellers need reliable, up-to-date information so they can plan with confidence. Destinations need to be looked after, so that places like Saint Martin's Island, the Sundarbans and Tanguar Haor are still worth visiting in twenty years. And the industry needs a place where its progress and its problems are discussed openly.

Bangladesh Traveller wants to contribute to all three. Every guide we publish carries a date and its sources, and we will keep the important ones up to date as rules and seasons change. We will write about responsible travel as plainly as we write about where to go.

The voice of the industry

Behind every trip is an industry: hotels and resorts, tour operators, transport companies, guides, training institutes, and the government bodies that set the rules. Their work rarely makes the news unless something goes wrong.

Through our Industry Desk, we will report regularly on the people and businesses who make tourism work, on investment and new projects, on policy decisions and how they play out on the ground, and on the challenges the sector needs solved. When the industry has something to say, we want Bangladesh Traveller to be where it is said, and heard.

That is why our first gathering is with industry colleagues. This publication will be stronger for their knowledge, their criticism and their stories.

What we will publish

• Checked travel guides: routes, seasons, costs and official rules, with dates and sources.
• Stories: Bangladesh through the eyes of writers and photographers from across the country.
• Food and culture: the dishes, crafts and festivals that make each region different.
• Industry Desk: news and analysis on investment, policy and the business of tourism.
• Careers: guidance and opportunities for people who want to work in tourism and hospitality.
• The magazine: our best work, collected in Bangla and English.

How we work

We are editorially independent. Sponsored content will always be clearly labelled. When we make a mistake, we will correct it and say so.
