From Kalatali on Cox's Bazar beach to Laboni point, there are people and people as far as the eye can see. Cox's Bazar has become bustling with tourists. The beach is full of tourists, where there is no place to keep sesame seeds. Meanwhile, 100% of the rooms in more than 500 hotels-motels and guest houses in Cox's Bazar have been booked.
Such a scene was seen on Friday (December 20) when visiting Kalatali, Sugandha and Laboni points on the beach. Tourists flocked to Cox's Bazar on Friday and Saturday, the weekend holidays.
On the one hand, the tourist season is over; on the other hand, the annual exams in schools and colleges are over. At the end of December, everyone comes out to explore. Many people consider Cox's Bazar to be safer than the hill districts. That is why there is more tourist traffic in Cox's Bazar than the tourist spots in other districts. Besides, the country's main tourist town, Cox's Bazar, is also facing additional pressure from tourists who are thirsty for travel to neighboring India due to the visa ban.
Sadeq Ahmed, a tourist visiting from Dhaka's Banglamotor, said, "I came on a family tour with my family on a weekend. Since the children's schools are closed, everyone was able to find time. We had a lot of fun together on the beach. It feels great."
Sayeed Sami, a tourist from Rajshahi, said, "Cox's Bazar never gets old. Whenever I get a holiday, I rush to the beach. However, there are more tourists in December. I can't even walk. Everywhere is crowded. That also feels good."
Meanwhile, lifeguards, tourist police, beach workers and security personnel who work to protect tourists bathing in the sea are struggling to cope with the additional pressure from tourists. However, they are working hard to avoid unpleasant incidents.
Mohammad Osman, senior lifeguard at Sea Safe Lifeguard, said that there is additional pressure from tourists every year in December and always on weekends. We have to struggle to cope with the pressure. This December, additional tourists have come to Cox's Bazar. Tourists are getting off everywhere. To avoid accidents, one should bathe between the red and yellow flags and follow the instructions of the lifeguards.
Senior Assistant Superintendent of Police Abul Kalam, media spokesperson of the Cox's Bazar Region Tourist Police, said that our security activities have been strengthened on the occasion of the travel season. There will be no security lapse anywhere. The Cox's Bazar Tourist Police is working day and night to ensure that the esteemed tourists can enjoy their trip and leave with joy. The Tourist Police is also advising tourists to follow some of the restrictions of the Ministry of Environment while moving around the sea beach area.
