Visitors Perception about the Entertainment Parks in Dhaka City of Bangladesh

Abstract

Nowadays, entertainment parks are one of the paramount segments of the tourism industry of any country. Bangladesh is also a country with a full of attractive places for the visitors and tourists. Some of the entertainment parks are also made by the private sector entrepreneurs in Bangladesh. Due to rapid growth of urbanization, people are divested of enjoying natural attractive places, due to their time constraints. Therefore, the concept of entertainment park is becoming vital in developing countries like Bangladesh. Along with natural tourist spots, there are four main private sector entertainment parks that are located in Dhaka and Chittagong, the main cities of Bangladesh. They are: Fantasy kingdom, Nandan Park, Sishu Park, and Foyez Lake. The tourism sector’s contribution to the economy is also increasing day by day. In 2017, it was 4.2 percent of the GDP, increasing to 4.4 percent in 20181 .To develop this sector, a diversified approach with the concentration on theme-based entertainment parks might be more attractive to the urban people of Bangladesh.
