Eco-Tourism

I am inhabitant of greater plain land of deltaic Bangladesh. Both of hill and forest were unknown and different realms to me for a long period of time. I have had opportunity to travel this hilly Chittagong Hill Tracts area several times on official purpose. The natural beauty of the Hill Tracts left an impressive mark in my mind beyond official purpose. At the beginning of decades of ninety I had been posted in the then newly formed Special Affairs (Welfare) Ministry from Ministry of Industries.
It is worth mentioning that then Chittagong Hill Tracts and other fourteen upazillas of ten districts were declared as 'Special Areas' where a number of ethnic people inhabit. It was the duty of the Ministry to look after the development, coordination and administrative matters of these special areas. Direct official involvement brought a chance to have experience of unrest situation of the Hill Tracts. The prolong unrest situation and severe poverty of the most of people of the area moved me deeply.
