The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) and Bangladesh Tourism Board (BTB) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to work together in promoting Bangladesh as a cricket tourism destination. BCB President Md Aminul Islam, Cricket Tourism Advisor of the BCB President’s Advisory Committee Md Shakawath Hossain, BCB Chief Executive Officer Nizam Uddin Chowdhury, Chief Executive Officer of BTB Nuzhat Yasmin, Director Admin & Finance of BTB Abu Salim Mahmud-Ul Hasan, BTB’s Director Marketing Planning & Public Relation Saleha Binte Siraj and officials of both organisations were present at the MoU signing programme held at the BTB office in Dhaka.
 
The agreement outlines a cooperative framework between the two organisations to highlight the country’s tourism potential through cricket and to create opportunities that bring together sport and culture on both national and international platforms.
 
As part of the MoU, the BCB and BTB will collaborate on joint campaigns, promotional activities, and destination-based initiatives such as trophy tours, cultural events and curated travel packages. Both parties will also work with tour operators, hotels, and travel agencies to develop cricket tourism packages designed for domestic and overseas visitors.
 
BCB President Md Aminul Islam said: “This partnership reflects our shared vision of projecting Bangladesh not only as a cricketing nation but also as a unique tourism destination. We are confident that cricket, being one of the strongest unifying forces in the country, will play an important role in promoting Bangladesh globally.
