Klappentext

Existing limitations in tourism product and service offers hinder the development potential of Bangladesh as a major tourism destination. The need to discern, to enrich, to innovate, and to diversify the range of tourism product and service offers is therefore urgent. To address such concerns effectively, substantial knowledge is required, supported with relevant data, information, facts, and evidence. Since the lack of research into tourism products and services in Bangladesh, as well as relevant publications, remains desperate, this book is a contribution towards this knowledge and research gap. In the context of the tourism industry in Bangladesh, chapters of this book are designed to conceptualise products and services, as well as to suggest their development. The contents of the book are critically detailed, with explanations of the policy and development framework, selected niches, consumption perspective, power and politics, market design, challenges and suggestions, and the future of tourism products and services. The book can inspire students, academics, and industry practitioners to know more of the tourism products and services in Bangladesh.
