Salman F Rahman asked CACCI member countries to invest in Bangladesh

Salman F Rahman, country´s prominent businessman and a parliament member, requested Confederation of Asia-Pacific Chambers of Commerce and Industry (CACCI) member countries to invest in Bangladesh’s hospitality sector.

He was speaking at a program organized by the institution. The program was held at the Sonargaon hotel in Dhaka.

The prominent businessman and advisor to the PM, Salman F Rahman said in his speech that Bangladesh has potential in hospitality management as the economy has been growing alongside tourism and hospitality services.

The discussion was a part of the two-day 33rd CACCI conference organised in association with the Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FBCCI). The conference has over 300 business delegates including representatives of leading national commerce chambers, business leaders and policymakers from 27 Asia Pacific countries. It also has eminent speakers ranging from leading economists and business practitioners to regional policymakers to assess key challenges and issues.

“I will urge the CACCI businessmen to take full investment potential of Bangladesh,” Rahman said as a panel discussant. Bangladesh has a lot of manpower and training in hospitality management can enable them to serve both inside the country and outside, Salman said.

Giving the inaugural speech, FBCCI President Sheikh Fazle Fahim said Bangladesh’s economy was stable and its macro-economic growth was in an upward trajectory. Brian O’Gallagher, deputy chief executive officer of Australia’s Chamber of Commerce Northern Territory, said they were interested in training Bangladesh’s manpower in hospitality management and already some of his country’s companies were engaged with young people.
