Abstract
Bangabandhu is the greatest Bengali soul the world has ever produced. His courage, voice, love & affection to the common people, his kindness had no bounds and his love towards little children had no limits an event the author has witnessed but above all his sacrifice for the nation was unparallel in the entire world. The nature has only produced one greatest politician, philosopher and tourism loverin the entire world. The world has also witnessed how the traitor (Mustaq-the black sheep in “The Awami League”) brutally killed him and his entire family in 15 August 1975and publicly boasted that he killed Bangabandhu.Mr. Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy and Sheer-e-Bangla AK Fazlul Huq was amazed by his courage, voice and leadership quality. The picked him-up, groomed him, trained him with their love, affection and supported him to become the leaderof the country. He teamed up with Mr. Suhrawardy and Sher-e-Bangla AK Fazlul Huq and took politics as part of his life, later he lead the language movement, the war of independence and finally brought the freedomfor the nation.Bangabandhu loved his countrymenand natural beauty and Mother Naturemore than his children. That love encouraged him to travelevery corner of the country. In fact he has travelled most of the villages in every Thana (Upazilla) of Bangladesh and was amazed by the natural beauty ofthe country andbecame a lover of tourism. He took the lead to show the beauty of Bangladesh to the wider world and took Geneva and Switzerlandas the model to develop tourism.Tourism became his passion. Nobody understood the natural beauty and its prospect for tourism better than Bangabandhu. He was the architect behind the development of a master plan to develop Cox‟s Bazar as the Geneva, and turn Bangladesh as the Switzerlandof Asia. He himself planted the Tamarisk(Jhau) forest along the beaches of Cox‟s bazaar and he wanted to develop St. Martin‟sIsland (only Coral Reef Island) as a tourism wonderland. After the independence when Bangabandhu‟s topmost priority was to rebuild the destroyed country and feed the hungry millions, he felt with his talent and farsightedness that tourism development will bring millions of dollars to expedite the rebuilding process of the country. He created Bangladesh Parjatan Corporation (BPC)by himself. On the basis of his endless contribution towards tourism the author‟s humble request to the government to officially declare Bangabandhu as the “Father of Tourism Industry”.This honorable declaration will only glorify our nation and elevate its status to the global community
