There is more pressure in the restaurant than the hotel in Khagrachari
Khagrachari is the preferred destination for tourists to see the rivers, hills and fountains. Rangamati has to be decorated with this road. While there is enough tourist to Sajek, Khagrachari Hotel-Motels are almost empty. As a result, tourist-related traders, including hotel-motel owners, are afraid of losses.
Although there is a hotel, there is enough booking of hotels and other pickup pickup pickups in the city.
According to district administration sources, there are 120 hotels, motels and guest houses in the district, all small and large. Last year, there was no booking in hotel-motels since the hills.

Hotel Mountain manager Tahrul Islam told the first light that they have no booking. As a result the cells are empty. Taherul Islam said, "Speaking to the tourists, I give 30-50 percent discount. Yet, since last year's hill, there are not many tourists coming to the hotel. I can not find the reason.
