Stop dissing Bangladesh. Please?
Am rather fed up. In fact am simmering. Here is why. On Saturday 5 July, 2014, brave British newspaper The Guardian did an article on Bangladesh as a holiday destination with a title of ' Big Bang. " A small voice that tried to showcase there might be more to Bangladesh than meets the eye. They were the first to agree to fly out with me - to investigate my theory that Bangladesh is ready to be a new holiday destination. At time of writing this it has got 50 or so comments . Some of them quite strong and virulent (which thankfully have already been removed). Some accusing the writer of being on dope. It made me sad. And it reminded me of the long, dusty, thankless walk I am on. But now it is time to fight back on behalf of Bangladeshi people. Its artisans. Its resort owners. And why the Bangladesh Tourism Board must address the issues around infrastructure, traffic and negative image.
