Thanks for the renders, Mirza! Getting pretty crowded there. I was surprised to see even Inani listed there. Looks like there's not going to be any pristine beaches left. If that's a lost cause, then at least I hope for some nice hotels

The cox's bazar beach is over a 100km long,so there will always be pristine parts of it....then theres kuakata,khulna,and so many other places where development is also absent.
So i am hoping Cox's bazar is gonna be our version of gold coast or dubai marina or recife It will have a proper city corporation,funding,infra structure,city facilities and entertainment in the near future,while the other natural areas of our country will remain pristine and relatively less artificial.And I am all for it

Seaside aquarium in Cox's Bazaar soon
Thu, Mar 3rd, 2011


Dhaka, March 3 (bdnews24.com) – The government will set up a seaside aquarium along the Cox's Bazar beach, the fisheries and livestock minister tells parliament.

"The government has a plan to set up an aquarium along the Cox's Bazar seashore aimed at showcasing the marine resources in the Bay of Bengal," Abdul Latif Biswas said on Thursday in reply to a query from Cox's Bazar-3 MP Lutfur Rahman.

Biswas said that a project would be taken soon in this regard.

Replying to a query from reserved women MP Rasheda Begum Hira, he said that Bangladesh exported 5,563 tonnes of Hilsa fish and earned Tk 2.27 billion in the last six months (July 2010-Jauary 2011), "which is a new record".

The minister, in response to another question from Naogoan-2 MP Mohammad Shahiduzzaman Sarker, said the country produces around 12 million litres of milk every day, while its daily demand is around 36.5 million.

In reply to a question of reserved seat MP Mamtaz Begum, Biswas said that the government had plans to provide low-interest loans to unemployed youths for encouraging them to cultivate sweet-water fish in the abandoned ponds and water bodies.

Responding the query of reserved women MP Asma Zerin Jhumu, he said the government was implementing 19 projects and two programmes in 2011-12 fiscal year to meet the country's demand of fish.

The minister said there was no project on cow fattening. "However, a 'Beef Breeding Development Programme in Bangladesh' is going on since 2009 at 11 Upazilas of 10 districts on experimental basis to produce more meat."

"Interested small farmers are given training on cow fattening in the district and Upazila level. As a result, a lot of such farms have been set up," he said in reply to a query of Chittagong-10 constituency MP M Abdul Latif.

Time will tell...my experience from South FL or South CA is that 100 km oceanfront can get gobbled up by development very quickly. Of course, due to concentrations of wealth in these two places, some stretches remain very peaceful and attractive despite urbanization. We'll see what happens in South BD Some time in the near future I'll post pictures of the missus' favorite beach in So Cal, which also happens to be quite near one of my workplaces, so that I go to walk there during lunch not infrequently.

New rule for Cox's Bazar, Kuakata

Dial 2000 from your GP mobile for latest news
Dhaka, May 5 (bdnews24.com) — In an effort to develop Cox's Bazar and Kuakata municipalities as well-planned tourist resorts, the government has introduced a new rule for real estate business in the coastal areas.

Under the new rules, realtors will have to take permission for their business from five-member committees headed by the respective deputy commissioners instead of the municipalities.

The mayors of the respective municipalities are members of the committees.

Housing and public works ministry issued an order in this regard on Thursday.

The order comes in the wake of unplanned expansion of structures in the two important municipalities.

It says the authority of the two municipalities to provide permission for real estate business has been revoked as per article 4 of the 'Real Estate Promotion and Implementation Act – 2010'.

The areas that will come under the purview of the new order are Cox's Bazaar Sadar, Chakoria, Moheshkhali and Tekna'f municipality, and Kuakata municipality of Patuakhali along with adjacent areas of Latachapali, Gangamati, Kauwarchar, and Charchapali Mouja.

The order, however, says the registration rules for the real estate business will remain unchanged.

S'pore-model mega structure at Cox’s Bazar


Alike Singapore's most stunning structure, Marina Bay, Bangladesh is going to build a mega structure along its longest sea beach at Inani, at an estimated cost of US$ 500 million, developers of the proposed five-star facility said Friday, reports BSS.

The 33-storey building with an area of two million square feet will have 2,600 apartments, a shopping mall, 8,000 square feet swimming pool, sauna bath and spa facilities, gymnasium, conference hall and a golf ground.

"We are expecting to complete the structure and hand over the flats to buyers by 2018," chairman of Green Delta Housing Limited Mohammad Nurul Amin said.

Mr Amin said he has got the idea for developing such a mega structure in Bangladesh to attract more tourists from abroad.

He said a team of architects and engineers has travelled to Singapore, Thailand, China and India to explore the best design of most modern structures and make blending of them into Inani Bay Marina in Inani, 24 kilometres off Cox's Bazar Town.

Dope, you do not need and cannot build international airports at or near every resort/places of interest. There are no international/regional airports next to Hilton Head, Lake Tahoe, etc. The best they can do is build an all weather multi-lane highway between Chittagong (city) and Cox's Bazar.

While I am yet to be in any of those so-called luxury lodgings in Cox's Bazar, I will refrain to pass judgment, until I have been to at least one of them.

Resorts in and around Cox's Bazar can be quite viable without any foreign tourists.
