Tour Operators Association of Bangladesh (TOAB), was formed in the year of 1992. This was the time when a handful of agencies operating tours inside Bangladesh, felt the need of such an association or trade body to overcome immense problems and difficulties being faced by them regularly. Besides this, the other main objective or aim of the organization was to develop and nourish tourism in Bangladesh and to promote tourism products of Bangladesh in the international arena.
To develop a professional membership association which promotes and represents the interests of its members for the benefit and sustainable development of the tourism industry.
As the leading tourism association, TOAB works for issues that benefit its members, influences tourism policy, legislation and marketing for the sustainable development of the tourism industry.
Bangladesh is bordered by the Indian states of West Bengal to the west and north, Assam to the north, Meghalaya to the north and northeast, and Tripura and Mizoram to the east. To the southeast, it shares a boundary with Myanmar (Burma). The southern part of Bangladesh opens into the Bay of Bengal.
Stretching northward from the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh constitutes roughly the eastern two-thirds of the deltaic plain of the Padma (Ganges[Ganga]) and Jamuna (Brahmaputra) rivers. Except for small higher areas of jungle-covered old alluvium (rising to about 100 feet [30 meters]) in the northwest and north-center—in the Barind and the Madhupur Tract, respectively—the plain is a flat surface of recent alluvium, having a gentle slope and an elevation of generally less than 30 feet (9 meters) above sea level.In the northeast and southeast—in the Sylhet and Chittagong Hills areas, respectively—the alluvial plains give place to ridges, running mainly north-south, that form part of the mountains that separate Bangladesh from Myanmar and India.
I am delighted to pay the heartiest gratitude to my beloved and honorable members for honoring me by electing my full board of directors where I get the chance to lead this organization as the President. I salute your honor, love, and trust in me that I could lead my current BoD to develop our organization and the sector of Tourism in Bangladesh with your kind support. Where it also gives me and my BoD much more responsibilities to look after the welfare of TOAB members.
Hence, we must include everyone to develop Inbound, Domestic, and Outbound tourism by finding out the various dimensional ways. We must try to develop relations & business partnerships with a different government, private, domestic, and foreign agencies by signing MOU/contracts and bilateral discussions...
