Daily Star once made an article where the author was saying we made a fatal mistake by leaving India in 1947. Look at India's Eastern states and you will yourself realize that it isn't the case.
Also, no we don't. We can't even save our tigers (the so called pride of the nation) and you expect us to be the next big thing in tourism. This site and their newspaper knows only to hype the government up. Although this is the case for most of our "media". An example would be the "No VAT" protests which were at first fiercely criticised by them at first.
You should have read the article first, it was based on a list published by Lonely Planet which ranked Bangladesh as the best value destination for the tourists. Let me copy the article here:

Lonely Planet Ranking
Bangladesh 'Best Value Destination'
Bangladesh has been ranked number one in Lonely Planet's list of the Best-Value Destinations for 2011.
The list is included the leading travel guidebook publisher's Best in Travel 2011 publication, coming out this week, and draws on the “knowledge, passion and miles travelled” by Lonely Planet staff, authors, and 600,000-strong online community to present the best places to go and things to do around the world to its readers.
More details behind the rationale for the ranking are expected to emerge in the coming days, with a briefing on the best-value list.
But judging from recent editions of the list, it should not be perceived as one containing only 'cheap' destinations. Rather, the list is based on travellers “getting their money's worth.”
Last year's list included destinations like Iceland, London, Malaysia and Las Vegas.
Previously, Bangladesh had been named as one of the 10 Interesting Destinations 2009, where it was described as “a revelation that actually leaves cousin India looking a bit worse for wear.”
Lonely Planet also brings out travel guidebooks on individual countries every few years. The last edition on Bangladesh came out in 2008 and the next one is due in November 2011. It describes Bangladesh as a “can-do country of open-hearted people, tigers, tea plantations and the world's longest beach.”
It also pays tribute to the country's resilience in the face of natural disasters, and the introduction to Bangladesh on the Lonely Planet website brands it as a “trend-setting, breathtaking and hardworking” country that others can learn from.
Best in Travel 2011 includes seventeen 'Top 10' lists, covering standard topics like the best cities, best experiences, as well as quirky ones like 'Top 10 Countries that didn't exist twenty years ago.'
Almost every country that receives a positive treatment across any of the Lonely Planet platforms experiences a subsequent boost in tourism, and “Best-Value Destinations” is one of the most popular lists in the travel annual, closely followed by backpackers, students and other budget-travellers.
Owned by BBC Worldwide, Lonely Planet is the largest travel guidebook and digital media publisher in the world.
Your country may well be the next great sweatshop capital of the world but you will never be a tourist destination. Ever. It's just fun to point and laugh because most of you are so clueless that you don't see why your swamp can't attract tourists. And if you ever go through my posts, you will see that I personally have never supported the race to the bottom as a viable strategy. We can already see companies like Nissan opening plants and similar moves like that up the value chain, thanks to foreign investment, are the way to go. But again, you can't see it 'cos you're so clueless. But that's good because if you were clued up, I wouldn't get my cheap laughs.
Oh man. BD is good at the human intensive industries where you can send poor people to their deaths in death trap factories for cheap such as garments and shipbuilding/breaking and even then consumer groups in the west are wising up to the appalling conditions and start to look elsewhere. Maybe less so with the ships because I doubt shipping companies care how their ships get broken. Man power export? Yeah, if you want to sustainably send out maids and slaves for ME building projects. Everything else is a joke. Pharma? You think you can export paracetamol? Cars? LOL Who the hell would buy a BD car? Fridges?
