Explore Bangladesh Safely: Tourist Police Unveils 24/7 Helpline for Travelers

“On September 25th, Bangladesh Tourist Police introduced a 24/7 helpline at 01320-222222/01887-878787 to enhance safety and security for both local and international travelers exploring the country’s tourist destinations.”

The helpline number was unveiled during a seminar titled “Addressing Future Challenges in Tourism Security: Insights from Bangladesh Tourist Police,” which was organized by the Bangladesh Tourist Police at their headquarters in the capital.

Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun, the Inspector General of Police, graced the seminar as the chief guest, with Habibur Rahman, Additional Inspector General, presiding over the program.

During his speech, Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun, Inspector General of Police, highlighted the impact of the dedicated Bangladesh Police unit on travelers. He emphasized that both domestic and international tourists now feel secure exploring the country’s tourism destinations, even during the late hours.

The Inspector General of Police also shared compelling statistics, showcasing the positive outcomes following the establishment of the Tourist Police in the country. These included an increase in tourism’s contribution to GDP to 4.4% in 2021 compared to 2.9% in 2013, a rise in employment within the tourism industry to 4 million in 2022 compared to 1.7 million in 2015, and growth in tourism revenue to BDT 2,279 crore in 2021 from BDT 613 crore in 2006. Additionally, Bangladesh’s position in the global travel and tourism index improved from 123rd in 2017 to 100th currently. The number of domestic tourists rose to 42.5 million in 2022 from 13.4 million in 2017, while foreign tourist arrivals increased to 214,000 as of August 2023 from 137,000 in 2015.

The event also featured notable speakers, including Jabed Ahmed, former CEO of the Bangladesh Tourism Board; Ashwani Nayar, General Manager of InterContinental Dhaka; Monowara Hakim Ali, Member of the Bangladesh Tourism Board Governing Body; Professor Dr. Santus Kumar Deb, Chairman of the Department of Tourism and Hospitality Management at the University of Dhaka; and Shiblul Azam Koreshi, President of the Tour Operators Association of Bangladesh. Dr. Md Masudur Rahman, a Professor from the Department of Marketing at the University of Dhaka, presented the keynote paper.

In their respective speeches, the speakers emphasized that the sense of security provided by the Bangladesh Tourist Police has contributed to the increase in domestic travelers in the country, which now stands at 10 million.

The speakers also stressed the importance of the Bangladesh Tourist Police embracing technology and artificial intelligence to enhance their services at all of the country’s tourist destinations in the modern era.

Tourist Police previously introduced the “Hello Tourist” app and a Facebook page titled “Tourist Police, Bangladesh” to promote their dedicated safety and security initiatives for both local and international travelers.

As the Tourist Police intensify their efforts to ensure traveler safety, the speakers emphasized the critical need to globally promote Bangladesh as a secure destination.

During the seminar, a training manual for the Bangladesh Tourist Police was unveiled. However, the event also addressed several forthcoming challenges that the Tourist Police must confront.

These challenges encompass combating issues such as tourist harassment, tourism infrastructure vandalism, and environmental pollution. The ability of the Tourist Police to communicate effectively with foreign tourists, through multilingual skills, was highlighted as important.

Collaboration among stakeholders and regulatory bodies was underscored as indispensable for the industry’s growth. Moreover, speakers emphasized that a strong public-private partnership is key to further enhancing tourist safety and security.

It was stressed that the Tourist Police should remain vigilant in addressing immoral and illegal activities conducted by travelers, as these actions could have negative impacts on both the environment and the destination’s reputation.

The speakers noted that frequent reassignment of officials hampers the implementation of long-term, sustainable solutions in the sector.

Lastly, the speakers highlighted the scarcity of Tourist Police officials to cover all of the country’s promising tourist sites. They pointed out that there are only 1,394 tourist police officials, whereas the masterplan identifies 1,498 tourist sites.

Addressing this manpower issue, Md Abu Kalam Siddique, Deputy Inspector General of the Tourist Police, mentioned that efforts are underway to increase the number of Tourist Police officials to cover all tourism areas across the country.

Furthermore, the DIG shared that the Tourist Police have already implemented CCTV surveillance at Cox’s Bazar, the country’s most popular tourist destination. The goal is to extend this surveillance to all tourist sites in the country to ensure the utmost safety and security for tourists. This was reiterated in his closing remarks.

In their respective speeches, the speakers mentioned, the number of domestic travellers in the country has increased to 10 million currently due to the sense of safety they feel thanks to Bangladesh Tourist Police.

To thrive in today’s era, Bangladesh Tourist Police must continue adapting technology and artificial intelligence to ensure better services to tourists at all the destinations of the country, urged the speakers.

It may be mentioned here that Tourist Police earlier launched an app called “Hello Tourist” as well as a facebook page titled “Tourist Police, Bangladesh” to promote their safety and security efforts dedicated to local and international travellers.

As the efforts of Tourist Police get further bolstered to ensure the security of travellers, it is high time Bangladesh was strongly promoted worldwide as a safe destination to visit, the speakers further stressed.

A training manual for Bangladesh Tourist Police was also inaugurated on the sidelines of the seminar.

However, the seminar addressed a number of future challenges that Tourist Police have to tackle in the coming days.

Tourist harassment as well as tourism infrastructure vandalism and environment pollution are some key aspects that Tourist Police have to combat.

Also it is important for Tourist Police to be multilingual to better communicate with foreign tourist arrivals.

There is no alternative to collaboration between stakeholders and regulators for the development of the industry.

Furthermore, public and private partnership is key to further develop the safety and security aspects of tourists.  

On the other hand, Tourist Police have to be alert about immoral and illegal activities conducted by travellers which might be negative for the environment or the reputation of a destination.

Frequent posting of officials before they could implement long-term sustainable solutions in the sector also comes in the way of development, claimed the speakers.

Lastly, the speakers stressed, even though vigorous efforts of Tourist Police are witnessed in popular destinations like Cox’s Bazar, yet, the number of the officials is still poor to cover all the promising tourist sites of the country.

According to the speakers, the number of tourist police officials is 1394 compared to the 1498 tourist sites identified by the masterplan.

Md Abu Kalam Siddique, Deputy Inspector General, Tourist Police delivered the vote of thanks addressing the manpower issue. He said works are underway to increase the number of Tourist Police officials to cover all the tourism areas of the country.

Responsibilities, manpower of tourist police to be increased: Minister

The process of enhancing responsibilities of the tourist police and their supporting staff is underway, as Parjatan Corporation has undertaken to provide all types of facilities for visitors at tourism sites, said State Minister for Tourism Mahbub Ali.

"The security of tourists is very important for the tourism industry and we are working on providing all the needed facilities at every tourism destination. A tourist must feel safe while traveling," said the minister.

He was speaking as chief guest at the inaugural function of the three-day '12th Chattogram Travel and Tourism Fair' on Thursday at Hotel Peninsula in the port city.

Aviation and tourism magazine, 'The Bangladesh Monitor,' organized the fair where Mahbubul Alam, president of Chattogram Chamber of Commerce and Industry, was a special guest. Bangladesh Tourism Board (BTB) chief executive officer, Zabed Ahmed, was also present on the occasion.

Bangladesh Parjatan Corporation (BPC) has undertaken to ensure washrooms, changing rooms, rest rooms and other facilities for tourists at tourist sites. BPC will design the project, Mahbub Ali added.

The minister suggested advancing the country's tourism, giving priority to eco-tourism, with the natural beauty of Chattogram. 

"We have undertaken a big project at Parki Beach which is about to end and the construction of Sheikh Hasina Tower outside Cox's Bazar is ongoing. A tourist zone for foreign tourists will also be established at Khurushkul to facilitate the free movement of foreigners as they please," he said.

"A Cox's Bazar master plan is also being drawn up," Mahbub Ali said, adding that "the masterplan will be prepared with ecotourism in mind, where one-stop service is needed for ecotourism, what type of project is required for which site, and more."     

Zabed Ahmed said as many as 3 lakh foreign tourists visited Bangladesh in 2019. After that everything came to a standstill after the Covid pandemic and now the tourism industry is regaining momentum.

"If we can take our domestic tourist turnout to four crore, then investors would be interested to invest. A lot of local and foreign investment is needed to further tourism in the country to attract foreign visitors," he said.

Zabed Ahmed suggested increased connectivity and creating alternative tourist destinations.

"Khagrachhari should be the alternative for Sajek, and Sonadia for St Martins. We should also reduce our hotel room rent and airfare. Now more than 35 lakh people are employed in the travel and tourism industry. About 1.5 crore people are indirectly dependent on this sector," Zabed Ahmed said.

Chattogram chamber President Mahbubul Alam said Chattogram is the hub for religious tourism that can attract tourists from Thailand and India, while Sylhet and Chattogram both have spiritual connections for people elsewhere.

About 26 travel and tourism companies will participate in this fair till Saturday, 8 January, from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM daily.

Police advise against rooftop travel for Eid holidaymakers

• Initiative aims to ensure a safe and smooth journey
• Waterway travellers advised against journeying in bad weather conditions 
• People asked to dial 999 in case of emergency 

In anticipation of the upcoming Eid-ul-Fitr celebrations, Bangladesh Police on Thursday issued a series of safety guidelines for citizens planning to travel back to their hometowns.

This initiative aims to ensure a safe and smooth journey for hundreds of thousands of holidaymakers during one of the busiest travel periods of the year.

The police have strongly discouraged travellers from risking their lives by riding on the roofs of buses, trucks, pickups, and other goods vehicles.

Additionally, pedestrians have been advised to utilize footbridges and zebra crossings wherever available and to be cautious of vehicle speeds in areas lacking these facilities.

Cars are specifically warned against joyriding and reckless driving.

The police have also cautioned all travellers against accepting food from strangers, a precautionary measure to avoid potential health risks.

Bus owners have been urged to employ only skilled and professional drivers and to avoid overloading buses beyond their capacity. Similarly, vehicle fitness is emphasized, with a strict recommendation against operating any vehicle deemed unfit for travel.

Regarding waterway travel, the police have advised against journeying by launch in inclement weather conditions and implored vessel owners to refrain from exceeding passenger limits on launches, steamers, and speedboats. Operators are asked to navigate vessels themselves or ensure that they are piloted by certified drivers. Owners are also encouraged to monitor weather conditions via mobile phones and radio and to verify the functionality of fire pumps and fire extinguishing equipment onboard.

For those travelling by train, the police have reiterated the dangers of roof, buffer, and engine travel and cautioned against the act of throwing stones at trains, which poses a significant safety hazard.

In the event of an emergency, people are asked to dial 999 or the police headquarters control room (01320001299), highway police headquarters (01320182598), railway police headquarters (01320177598), river police headquarters (01320169598), Rapid Action Battalion (01777720199), district superintendent of police and officers-in-charge of police stations, if needed.

By adhering to these guidelines, Bangladesh Police hopes to minimize accidents and ensure that Eid-ul-Fitr is celebrated joyously and safely across the country.
