Eid holidaymakers visit to Coxs Bazar miss expectations

Most of the rooms in more than five hundred hotels in Coxs Bazar remained empty during the Eid-ul-Azha holidays despite the discount offers on room rent from 40 to 60 per cent.
Industry experts blamed rainy weather and the suspension of tourist ship movement on Teknaf to Saint Martins route due to conflict inside Myanmar for the arrival of fewer tourists. During several visits to hotels, guesthouses and cottages in the Kalatali area of the beach town from June 16 to 19, the correspondent found that 60 to 70 per cent of the rooms in most of the hotels were empty.
Various entertainment centres in the district, including Coxs Bazar to Teknaf Marine Drive, Buddhist temple in Ramu, Dulahajara Safari Park etc, were also found almost empty.
