Green Growth Bangladesh (GGB) promotes ecotourism as a sustainable way to boost local economies while preserving biodiversity and cultural heritage. From the Sundarbans mangrove forest and the haor wetlands of Sylhet to the hill communities of Bandarban and the world’s longest natural sea beach at Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh holds extraordinary natural and cultural assets.
Unmanaged tourism, however, can degrade fragile ecosystems and bypass local people. GGB works with communities to develop homestays, trained local guides, handicraft enterprises and visitor codes of conduct that keep tourism revenue in the community and protect the places visitors come to see.
By linking conservation with income, we help communities become the strongest stewards of their own environment.
