Tourists continue to flock to Cox’s Bazar, home to the world’s longest natural sea beach. The shoreline becomes especially crowded in the afternoon as visitors gather to enjoy the breathtaking sunset over the Bay of Bengal.
The red and orange hues spreading across the sky, combined with the sound of crashing waves, create a serene atmosphere that leaves visitors mesmerised.
On one such evening at the beach, Mohammad Nuruddin Sardar and his wife Samiha Mahbub spent time together, relishing the scenic beauty.
Speaking to Cox’s Bazar Life, they said the sunset in Cox’s Bazar was truly unique and that spending time so close to nature had become a memorable experience for them.
Mohammad Nuruddin Sardar said eco-friendly tourism was critical for Cox’s Bazar. He stressed that tourism development should preserve the area’s natural beauty so future generations could also enjoy it.
He said the sea, hills and biodiversity must be protected while advancing the tourism industry.
He further said many countries had achieved remarkable growth in tourism through long-term planning, modern facilities and international promotion, adding that Bangladesh also holds enormous tourism potential.
However, he emphasised the need for greater focus on infrastructure development, cleanliness, security and proper promotion.
According to him, Cox’s Bazar can be presented more attractively to the world through social media campaigns, international tourism promotions, travel documentaries and positive experiences shared by foreign tourists.
Addressing young travellers worldwide, he said anyone seeking natural beauty, a peaceful seaside environment and stunning sunsets should visit Cox’s Bazar at least once, adding that its people, culture and nature would surely leave visitors impressed.
