Bangladesh is one of the few countries in South Asia, which remains to be explored. Bangladesh has a delicate and distinctive attraction of its own to offer and it is definitely not a tourist haunt like Nepal or India. Bangladesh is like a painter's dream come true with a rich tapestry of colors and texture. The traditional emphasis of the tourist trade has always been on the material facilities offered by a country rather than on its actual charms.
Most visitors to Bangladesh will soon discover that there is not what they might deem to be a very active nightlife. Bangladesh is a very Muslim country and the evening’s entertainment will usually come in the form of a visit from family members or something of that nature.
The official language of Bangladesh is Bangla, also known as Bengali. English also is commonly used in urban areas.
Bangla is an Indo-Aryan language descended from Sanskrit. It has a unique script, also based on Sanskrit.Some non-Bengali Muslims in Bangladesh speak Urdu as their primary tongue.Literacy rates in Bangladesh are improving as the poverty rate falls, but still only 50% of men and 31% of women are literate.
Bangladesh is divided into seven administrative divisions each named after their respective divisional headquarters: Barisal, Chittagong, Dhaka, Khulna,Rajshahi, Sylhet and Rangpur.
The people of the city of Chittagong are quite diverse. Many have originated from the Arabs, Afghans and Mughals who arrived on the country's shores many years ago. There are also those that have descended from Portuguese settlers who arrived some time later.
Tourism sector in Bangladesh has experienced massive growth in recent years. Majority of growth is contributed by local tourists. It is believed to be a major tourist destination if properly advertised. Nonetheless, few government and private initiatives have been taken to attract foreign tourists.
Bangladesh is subject to devastating cyclones, originating over the Bay of Bengal, in the periods of April to May and September to November. Often accompanied by surging waves, these storms can cause great damage and loss of life. The cyclone of November 1970, in which about 500,000 lives were lost in Bangladesh, was one of the worst natural disasters of the country in the 20th century.
