Cable Car Project Approved for Marine Drive Road in Cox’s Bazar
Scenic aerial route from Himchari to Reju Khal to enhance tourism under PPP model
In a move set to boost tourism infrastructure in Cox’s Bazar, the government has granted initial approval for the installation of a cable car system along the Marine Drive Road. The project will span from the scenic Himchari area to Reju Khal, enhancing connectivity and offering a unique aerial experience for visitors.
The initiative will be carried out under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, aiming to promote sustainable tourism development in the region. Once completed, the cable car is expected to become a major attraction, offering panoramic views of the coastline and surrounding landscapes.
The proposal was presented by the Cox’s Bazar Development Authority (CoxDA) under the Ministry of Housing and Public Works. With the Marine Drive already hailed as one of the most picturesque coastal roads in the country, the cable car system is likely to add significant value to the area’s appeal, encouraging both domestic and international tourism.
In the same meeting, further decisions were made to extend procurement timelines for essential commodities under specific state initiatives, ensuring smoother and faster access to key resources when needed.
This development marks a positive step towards transforming Cox’s Bazar into a premier tourist destination with enhanced facilities and modern infrastructure.
