Popular actor Irfan Sajjad has expressed his desire to see Cox’s Bazar developed into one of the world’s leading international tourism destinations. 

He said Cox’s Bazar is a place very close to his heart and that any tourist visiting the destination would be deeply impressed by its natural beauty.

He recently visited Cox’s Bazar Sea Beach to take part in the shooting of an online video commercial (OVC). 

Speaking to Cox’s Bazar Life during the shoot, he shared his views on the potential of the country’s premier tourist hub.

Irfan Sajjad firmly believes in Cox’s Bazar’s potential as a world-class tourism city. He noted that many countries have successfully built global tourism industries around even small beaches. 

At the same time, Bangladesh has yet to fully develop Cox’s Bazar into an international-standard destination despite having the world’s longest natural sea beach.

He added that Cox’s Bazar should be developed on a priority basis so that it can attract more domestic and international tourists, which would ultimately strengthen the country’s tourism economy.
