ABSTRACT
A country’s touristy appeal depends on its history, natural beauty and archaeology. From the viewpoint of resources, Bangladesh has attractive unadulterated natural beauty, heroic historical background and archaeological resources. In the tourism industry, accommodation plays a vital role. The motivation to travel is usually led by the desire to experience a wider tourism product. Accommodation as a tourism product has to reflect the vital components of any business product. Accommodation means a place where tourist can find food and shelter provided they are in a position to pay for it. There are various types of accommodation from a five-star deluxe hotel to a normal budget-class hotel. Many changes have taken place in accommodation recently. This research focused on the present conditions and future potentials of accommodation in Bangladesh. Due to some limitations, the tourism sector in Bangladesh cannot explore her beauty properly in front of the world. Moreover, the research is poor in this sector. There is almost no available webpage or link with detailed information about accommodation; hence, tourists have limited knowledge about it. Through this study we focused on the facilities of Dhaka, Cox’s Bazar, Rangamati, Chittagong city and Foy’s Lake as tourist places. Based on both the primary and secondary data, we tried to represent a clear picture of the accommodation of Bangladesh. The research has identified the prospects of the tourism industry of Bangladesh, performed a SWOT analysis and also suggested remedial measures for the problems of the tourism sector.
