Cox's Bazar Tourist Police
Cox's Bazar is one of the most offbeat and interesting destinations a traveler can visit. And no, it’s not a street market in the UK. Intrepid explorers fortunate enough to make their way to Cox’s Bazar will discover a stunning coastal city that offers a unique combination of natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, and relaxation. Located in amazing Bangladesh, (yes you read it correctly), Cox's Bazar will blow your mind with its miles and miles of golden sand beaches, lush tropical forests, and stunning views of the Bay of Bengal.
Located 62 miles (99km) from the bustling city of Chittagong, the main attraction of Cox's Bazar is its pristine beaches. With over 74 miles (120 km) of sandy shoreline, Cox's Bazar is the longest natural uninterrupted beach in the world. Sadly few equate Bangladesh with this unique distinction. It’s named after Captain Hiram Cox, an officer of the British East India Company in the late 1700’s, who played a vital role in the rehabilitation of refugees in the area. Here, the Indian Ocean is calm and inviting, with waves that gently caress the beach. One can spend hours soaking up the sun, swimming, or simply taking in the scenery. Its gently sloping shoreline is perfect for long walks. Its also a popular spot for local fishermen. Along the coastline, there are lots of restaurants serving an array of fresh seafood dishes, as well as numerous beach vendors selling all kinds of local treats like fried prawns, crab curry, and grilled fish.
Cox's Bazar is more than just its beach. Its rich cultural heritage is something to behold. The city is home to several ethnic communities, including the Rohingya, who have lived in the region for centuries. There are amazing local markets, where you can buy everything from traditional crafts to fun souvenirs. While most visitors go for the beach, Cox’s Bazar is surrounded by tropical forests, with flora and fauna unique to the region. There are hundreds of beautiful temples and shrines in the area to see, including the Ramu Buddhist Temple, famous for its intricate carvings and magnificent architecture.
We can't be naive about the country. Many people are hesitant or scared to visit Bangladesh due to safety concerns. The country is prone to natural disasters such as floods and typhoons, and there have been moments of political instability and crime in the past. Make no mistake, Bangladesh is still a developing country, and you will encounter poverty, lack of infrastructure, and limited access to resources such as healthcare and clean water. It's probably not for faint of heart.
Despite its repuation, in recent years, the government of Bangladesh has taken steps to the make the country friendlier for visitors and to promote development. One of those steps was the creation of a Tourist Police unit, within the Bangladesh national police force. Its a big step for a country like Bangladesh. According to thier website, "Tourist Police is pledged to be gentle, courteous and welcoming in all destinations across the country and committed to- Ensure safety and security, Offer pleasant environment, Enhance sense of confidence, Provide legal assistance, Preserve the biodiversity and Show the highest standard of professionalism." In Cox’s Bazar the Tourist Police not only work to ensure the safetly of its visitors, but are specifically trained to handle the unique needs of tourists. They are knowledgeable about the local area and able to assist visitors with a variety of needs, including transportation, accommodation, and other traveler-related services. The Tourist Police are even equipped to handle travel emergencies, such as lost or stolen passports, and can provide first aid and medical assistance if needed. They even have their own mobile app to make it easy for visitors to get in touch with them.
Bangladesh faces enormous challenges as it works to build its tourism infrastrure. The Tourist Police of Cox’s Bazar is a small sign that the country is opening up. Of course, anybody can find reasons not to go somewhere. We at Layover Goods applaud those individuals who find reasons to go to places less developed and experience them in a meaningful and responsible way.
