Advertisement, marketing, general awareness and of course infrastructure are the key my friend, even India underachieved big time in terms of tourism, this one sector I feel has always been neglected, it is so sad to see India not getting a place among the 20 most visited countries in the world considering we have the potential to rank in top 10.
I would personally love to take a trip to BD some day. I am sure similar culture, food and language will make me feel at home. Feudalism thrived in Bengal during the British raj, I believe remnants of those days are still present, I mean "Purono jomidar bari, Mondir, Masjid, dalan kuthi etc etc". I am a sucker for historical ruins and architecture, will surely explore these along with the heritage sites that you mentioned.

I will go with the countries that I feel very fortunate to visit (most credit goes to my parents). I will start from Bangladesh going West:
Bangladesh, India, UAE, Bahrain, Italy, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, France, Netherlands, Belgium, UK, Canada, US, Australia, Malaysia & Thailand
We're planning a vacation in AUS-NZ this December. I'm very excited about Queenstown. We'll see what we can do there with a 2.5 year old. ![Waiting](images/smilies/waiting.gif)

Thank you, Yankees bhaiya! I am very proud of Brojen mama. We all are, you are absolutely right, when he accomplished such a feat, we/he had very little resources and support (in general, you know - the time was very different).
Just in case you may wonder, I come from a very large spread family of inter-faith marriages.

I made a mistake not to mention Bogra- Mahasthangarh is in Shibganj, Bogra.
Paharpur is in Rajshahi, in an area surrounded by red soil.

For Yankees bhaiya and Roy uncle - I will open and construct a perfect thread. With details - of Bangladesh historical/archeological building/structures survey. I am an architect and my wife is an archeologist and anthropologist, we will make this thread together as a team.

Dhanmondi, Eskaton, Shamoli, Mirpur, Mohammadpur, Malibagh, jhigatola, New DOHS, Old DOHS, DOHS baridhara, DOHS Mirpur, Mirpur (very close to the stadium), nakhalpara, NHQ, Banani, Gulshan, Uttara, Farm gate.
That is in the Dhaka city alone. Yes, I stayed at least one night in those places (relatives and inlaws houses).

That 1st place came up in a movie I recently watch, I thought that it was part of India.
