The normally quiet beach, which saw little activity during the month of Ramadan, has regained its peak vibrancy with the arrival of the Eid holiday rush. Tourism operators and business owners said number of visitors have surged sharply since the start of the Eid holidays, reviving businesses that remained largely dormant throughout Ramadan. Before Eid, tourism stakeholders had projected that nearly 1 to 1.1 million tourists could visit Cox's Bazar during the holiday period, generating business worth around Tk 100 crore. Authorities said their priority is to ensure that tourists can enjoy sea bathing and recreation without accidents or disruptions. Officials added that with sustained inflow of visitors, Cox's Bazar is likely to remain crowded throughout the Eid holidays, reaffirming its status as the country's premier tourism destination.
