Tourists Flock to Sylhet for Puja Holiday, 70 Percent of Hotel Rooms Booked in Advance

Tourists have flocked to Sylhet for the Sharodiya Durga Puja holiday. Even before the holiday rush began, 70 percent of hotel rooms in Sylhet had already been booked, it has been learned.

Travel lovers visit tourist areas across Sylhet Division every year around the Puja holiday, and this year is no exception. The fact that so many rooms were booked in advance before the holiday began points to that demand.

With 70 percent of rooms already booked, the number of tourists coming to Sylhet during the holiday days will be significant. The picture also suggests that last-minute travellers may find it difficult to get a room.

Sylhet Division is in any case one of the country's most popular travel regions. During a long holiday such as Puja, crowds of people travelling with family create brisk business for hotels, motels and tourism-related trade.

This rush of tourists during the holiday has brought a positive message for Sylhet's tourism sector. The advance booking rate shows that demand for Sylhet as a holiday destination remains strong this year as well.

Whether the tourist crowds grow further in the remaining days of the holiday, and whether the remaining hotel rooms also fill up, remains to be seen.
