Tourism has become one of the largest and fastest growing economic sectors in the world over the past six decades. Many developing countries—Thailand, Indonesia, Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Kenya—have reconstructed their economy through the proper utilisation and management of the tourism industry. Bangladesh has the potential to become a leader in this area, being a land full of natural beauty. The Bangladesh Economic Review (2010) states that Bangladesh has three sectors of generating revenue. Those are industry, agriculture and services. Tourism is a part of the service sector. Though the contribution of tourism to Gross Domestic Product was only 7 percent in 2004-05, it had increased to 9.44 percent by 2009-10. It decreased in 2014 to 4.1 percent of total GDP and contributed 4.7 percent in 2015. Tourism can ensure economic development, but only if political will and proper marketing strategies are implemented. In general, tourism can be classified in a number of...

The difference between what a hotel and a resort offers has to do with the services they provide, their location, and the activities and amenities available on-site. A resort is usually spread out over more land compared to a hotel. Considering the extra land, there are more activities for guests to partake in. I have come across many resorts are close to beach area or with easy access to beach in order to provide various water sports activities to their guests. The characteristic of resort is that it combines a hotel and a variety of recreations ; it serves food, drink, lodging, sports, entertainment, relaxation such as spa and shopping. Generally, hotels located inside resorts are known as resort hotels. On the other hand, people specifically frequent resorts for relaxation or for recreation. The purpose of staying in a resort is entirely different; people who want to spend their vacation or holidays with their family in a particular city or a particular c...

If your plants keep dropping leaves, turning odd colors, and generally failing to thrive, it might not be your gardening techniques that are at fault. There could be an imbalance in your soil that’s killing your plants. In such instances, improving your soil might simultaneously improve your chances at having a successful garden. However, it’s always a good idea to test the pH levels and the soil acidity in your garden before you start applying fertilizer. Too much of a good thing can easily be as bad as a hands-off approach. For instance, phosphorus, which is a main component of most fertilizers, will only work at a certain pH range. Adding unnecessary nutrients can also cause environmental problems since these compounds tend to get washed away in heavy rains and can end up polluting nearby waterways.        Like most organisms, plants need a variety of nutrients in order to grow properly. These elements are normally present in the soil. When t...

     Agritourism means travel organized around farming, small-scale food production or animal husbandry. Visiting a working farm or ranch for the purpose of enjoyment and education are key parts of this often rural experience.
