population of CHT. More specifically, it will
improve rural infrastructure and increase rural
incomes, including those of remote rural women
and disadvantaged groups through increased
economic opportunities and activities.
1)Agribusiness:
i) The main sources of income in the Chittagong
Hill Tracts (CHT) are dominated by farming and
related businesses and still It has not grown up to
it’s full potential. Investment from both
government and private sector will create local
jobs that will eventually contribute to our
economy.

ii) The CHT region is one of the highest fruit

production regions in Bangladesh. With proper
supervision and support from government farmers
can produce fruits that will meet our local demands
and the surplus fruits can be exported.

3)Gateway to the East:

CHT shares boarder with Myanmar and we can use
CHT as a trade transit between us and the countries
in the east mainly Myanmar, China and Thailand.
It will help our economy.

3)Tourism:
CHT has its varied cultures, wide open spaces, and
nature-friendly trekking opportunities, the CHT
could be an ideal place for developing tourism as
an industry.The Bandarban sub-district of Ruma
has popular natural scenic areas like the Boga lake,
Rijuk waterfall, Darjiling para, Passim para,
Double Fall and Tajing Dong hill. These places
have potential to attract foreign tourists but the
basic amenities necessary for tourism are lacking.
So if we can make sure a proper environment for
tourist like good restaurants, proper place for stay
it will be great earning source for government.
4)Transportation:
In the Chittagong Hill Tracts, there are many
exciting places. Tourists can enjoy natural lakes,
natural views, natural river. To enjoy and travel
these natural beauties, we can use modern boats
such as Ponton Boats, Fish and Ski Boats, Deck
Boats, Watersports Boats, Cabin Cruisers. These
boats are the most popular in the world. Such as:
Lake Windermere, which is England’s large
natural lake. Visitors enjoy and travel the lake
using luxury motorboats and other traditional
boats.this could be huge opportunity for
business.And other transportation for the tourists
will be a goo business opportunity.
