In the hilly area, rain forest, peak of mountains & trails also another heart beating & adventurous point of travel for the hitch hikers. Khagrachari is one of them. In the past era, some collision with government, from tribal/rival groups made looser to tourism businessman/investor. But, now a days, peace agreement with rival, made quite environment in the wildest forests like Rangamati, Bandarban, Khagrachari districts, under the division of Chittagong. A huge entrepreneurs trying to expand their business on tourism. Lack of proper channel also falls them in frustration.

Hafiz, the invest seeker, has well channel with the local influential, that will make a reciprocal business benefit between he, investor and also local leaders, those who have the capability to control violence on tourism business in the forest area.

Strength: Extraordinary demand on tourism, increases day by day. High yield. A great return, in context of any other business. Escapist will avail this opportunity, if they get all urban facilities, in the remote area. Elite people / debonair business opportunity. Very limited competitor. Special security may increase elite clients.

of this project. Lower atmospheric pressure / oxygen level may harmful for low immune tourist.

(cardiovascular / diabetic / aesthetic diseased people) Uses of Electricity / Water will be very limited. Wild rival group /terrorists may decrease footfall of clients. Beneficiaries may make rumors to decrease market. In context of our hill tracts rules and resolution, overseas tourists / expatriates / NRB (dual

citizen) peoples may have very limited opportunities to avail the resort hospitality. Disaster / rainy seasonal variation may decrease market demand. Economic package program may make unsatisfied the mass peoples / tourists.

Opportunities: This business may be integrated with other hospitality / entertainment that attract

exceptional client in this sector. Near future, possible to make integration as medical tourism. Possibility to become chain member with global tourism family. Corporate marketing may make extraordinary goodwill of this project. Mini power plant may make another income generating activities. Online Money transfer to overseas accounts, a passive money laundering opportunity.

Threat: Long term political unrest may decrease project income. Harmful insects from the hilly area also another threat for this project. Integrated with medical tourism, sometimes sudden death of a patient may hamper other

tourist enjoyment. Eve teasing may make collision with local tribes. Unexpected gunshot / hijack may make morose environment to other tourists, if they

operate individual tour through self help.
