Cox's Bazar
Cox's Bazaar has only one unique feature , and that is its length--more than 100km, and that's all. The tourists once going there will never think of going again. The beach has no security. After evening! God help you. No lights, no security personnel, no transport and what else do you expect? Can't the authorities make some safety arrangement for the people who go for swimming? It's not that difficult. Just put more people to take care of swimmers. The canyons in the shore are not too many. They can be covered by strong poles and even nets with large holes, which will not resist the water flow but stop the people from falling into the trap of those deep holes or canyons.
The transportation system in the town is horrible. The roads are narrow and full of rickshaws. You just can't move. Of course, bar is banned all over the country, but the rules can be relaxed for the foreigners in some places like Chittagong, Cox's Bazaar, Kaptai, Rangamati, Bandarbans, Khagrachhari, Sylhet etc. The Maldives' major source of income is tourism. Why can't we follow them?
