Colombo. Sri Lankan President Ranil Wickremesinghe has suggested making BIMSTEC, a forum of Bay of Bengal countries, a border-free zone for tourism. Wickremesinghe, while addressing a program of the Travel Agents Association of India (TAAI) on Thursday, said that BIMSTEC, a multi-sector technical and economic cooperation forum of seven Bay of Bengal countries, should be made a border-free zone of tourism. BIMSTEC includes India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Nepal and Bhutan.
He said, tourism activities will increase in the coming 10 years due to increase in per capita income of the people. For this we also have to prepare our communication facilities. Wickremesinghe said, I suggest that why not make the entire BIMSTEC a comprehensive tourism region. Why don’t we open BIMSTEC? Why don’t we use the Bay of Bengal for sea travel? He said that the opening up of BIMSTEC would make it a border-free comprehensive tourism zone for any tourist coming from outside.
