That they are, look at the number that visit India every year, especially for shopping in advance for Eid and other holidays as well as to tourist destinations like Kullu, Darjeeling in the North and Kodaikanal, Munnar and Ootakamund in the South. And this is not just Upper Middle Class folks, this is also normal Middle Class folks as Indian hotels and restaurants serve people of all means. Bangladeshis are the largest number of tourists to India. We are keeping their tourism sector alive pretty much, other than goras visiting from US and EU.

You guys should have arranged for a slice of the pie - instead you're complaining about BS issues like what Hasina said yesterday. Try promoting Chitral area and Islamabad Murree area to Bangladeshi visitors, your tourism sector will revive in no time.

Good bargaining platform for BD govt to use! Much success!

It's same story whichever country you look in the region (ASEAN, South Asia etc)...they come in hordes to India because their hospitals and doctors suck. Thankfully they leave (those given visas).
