On 6 November, the local administration in Bandarban lifted restrictions on visiting tourist spots in four upazilas, Bandarban Sadar, Alikadam, Lama, and Naikhongchhari, in a bid to draw more tourists.
Jasim Uddin also mentioned that a request has been made to the administration to promptly open the tourism centres in Ruma, Rowangchhari, and Thanchi upazilas to visitors.
Earlier, due to security concerns, the local administration had advised against visiting Bandarban and other hill districts from 8 October to 31 October.
This restriction was extended until 6 November but has now been lifted as of 7 November.
