The government is working to promote tourism in the country, Civil Aviation and Tourism Adviser AF Hassan Ariff said today (6 December).
"The government is working to promote tourism in the country. Tourism does not mean construction of big buildings, but connecting people from one place to another place," he said while speaking as the chief guest at the closing ceremony of an eight-day public awareness campaign at Shaheed Subhash Hall of Cox's Bazar Institute and Public Library.
The awareness campaign was launched in the district to keep Cox's Bazar's sea beach and town clean and prevent dengue and the use of single-use plastic.
