The civil aviation and tourism minister, Ghulam Mohammad Quader, on Thursday said the government was working to build a poverty-free Bangladesh through the flourishing tourism industry.
He was speaking as the chief guest at the inaugural ceremony of the three-day Destination Thailand Fair in Bangladesh 2011 organised by the Thai Embassy and Thai Trade Centre on the premises of Thai Embassy at Baridhara in the capital.
Thai ambassador Tasanawadee Miancharoen also spoke on the occasion.
The minister said Thailand had progressed much through the tourism industry.
Like Thailand, it was also possible for Bangladesh to earn millions of dollars from the tourism sector, he added.
He stressed the need for campaigns to build a positive image of Bangladesh abroad.
There are 58 stalls in six categories in the fair that will remain open for all from 10:00am to 8:00pm every day till July 16.
