A Study on Tourism Cooperation between China and Bangladesh

Abstract

Since the establishment of a strategic Cooperative Partnership between China and Bangladesh, there has been a surge in bilateral relations and the foundation for cooperation has been further consolidated during this period. Tourism, as pioneer and fresh force in promoting cultural exchanges, people-to-people exchanges and regional exchanges, can facilitate the inflow of people, logistics, capital and information through mutual learning, cultural exchanges and integration while it is also one of the effective and convenient ways to promote mutual trust, mutual benefit, interconnection and people-to-people bonds. Tourism cooperation between China and Bangladesh have the potential to be the new growth point in the bilateral economic and trade cooperation, to make each other as the mutual major destination and source countries, and even to be further expanded to the South Asian subcontinent, East Asia and Southeast Asia with the aid of each other. In other words, tourism cooperation is the general trend for international and domestic tourism development as well as a means of meeting people's practical needs for diversified tourism products. It will become a new pillar for cultural and educational exchanges between the two countries to inject into the development of state relations and friendly people-to-people exchanges, and to be beneficial for the formation of a global tourism market pattern that focuses on the Asian market and is going to connect other continents in the future.
