The three-day fair, being held at the International Convention City Bashundhara in the capital, is expected to play a crucial role in the recovery of the tourism sector badly hit by the coronavirus pandemic, said a press release.
Some 130 different tourism companies from Bangladesh, Nepal, Thailand, India, Bhutan, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Lithuania will participate in the ATF.
