Bangladesh Parjatan Corporation (BPC), under the Ministry of Civil Aviation and Tourism, has re-launched a tender process to develop an International-Standard Tourist Complex through PPP model at Cox’s Bazar, the prime sea-side resort town of Bangladesh.

BPC envisages the bidder/consortiums to undertake designing, building, financing, operation & maintenance of the project, based on terms and conditions set out in the PPP Contract.

The integrated development will include a beach resort, entertainment village, golf course and venues for other tourism activities. The project will comprise: detailed design, financial closure, construction of the proposed 130-acre integrated tourism and entertainment village and operations & maintenance of the developed facilities for a specified period.

According to the Bangladesh PPP Office, the total project investment is estimated between US$80 million and US$200 million.
