"Bangladesh has been experiencing the tourism industry as one of the most potential

sectors proving a great contribution to the economy in recent years. However, at the

beginning of 2020, this sector has transformed reversely by the consequences of the

outbreak of COVID-19. Continuous restrictions on movement in domestic and international borders make the tourism sector employees jobless and generate fewer turnovers. This research attempts to quantify the adverse effect of COVID-19 on the tourism

sector as well as the country's economy, spheres of tourism and business and suggests

some short-term and long-term approaches to recover the situation. The study draws a

contrast between past and present year trends, from where we may get vigorous and

prevailing information about the pandemic significance and may contribute to initiating

and implementing some suitable tactics for retrieval from the state in further heightening the tourism industry. This study may aid in the better understanding and identification of the demands of the general public in terms of tourism by the relevant authorities

in the tourist sector. This will also assist in developing the potential of domestic tourism

and preparing the tourism sites in Bangladesh for the post-pandemic phase by implementing appropriate measures in the short term."
