## Bangladesh at a glance

- **Wallet currency:** BDT
- **Hub:** Dhaka
- **Portal languages:** English and Bengali
- **Suggested template:** Leisure for retail holiday desks; Faith where Umrah leads the catalogue.

## How the trade works

Bangladesh regulates the trade in three separate registers: travel agencies with the Ministry of Civil Aviation and Tourism, tour operators and guides under their own Act of 2021, and Hajj and Umrah agencies with the Ministry of Religious Affairs. A Dhaka house that does all three runs three regulated lines of business from one office, and can be selling all three to the same sub-agents.

## What operators here are loading

Umrah packages on fixed departures with Makkah and Madinah hotels, outbound holiday packages to Nepal and beyond, Cox's Bazar and Sylhet hotels, and Sundarbans boat trips that run on the Forest Department's own calendar.

## Worth knowing

Bengali is among the 32 interface languages, and language is a setting of each user rather than of the account, so a sub-agent in Chattogram can work in Bengali while your Dhaka desk keeps English.

## Three registers, one sub-agent network

Bangladeshi law keeps these businesses apart even when one company runs them all. A travel agency renews its registration online with the Ministry of Civil Aviation and Tourism. Tour operators and tour guides need a registration of their own under the Tour Operators and Tour Guides (Registration and Operation) Act of 2021. And nobody may deal with a Hajj pilgrim without registration under the Hajj and Umrah Management Act.

Hajj also runs on two channels. Pilgrims pre-register and then travel either through the government's own arrangement or privately through licensed agencies, so a private-channel agency is selling into a process whose deadlines it does not set. The sub-agent who books that pilgrim may want a Cox's Bazar weekend from you a month later.

## Keeping the lines apart on one portal

Each sub-agent gets one login, not one undivided catalogue.

- **Each product chooses its buyers.** Show a product to every partner agency, only to the agencies or price tiers you name, or to all except them; to any other agency it is simply not found.
- **Access by vertical, per agent.** Switch hotels, tours or transfers off for one sub-agent, and the booking engine refuses the sale rather than merely hiding a menu.
- **Packages with seats.** Day-by-day programmes on fixed departures, with per-person prices that change with the room and the season, plus upgrades and extras, for Umrah and holiday departures alike.
- **Rooming lists for each hotel.** Room by room for the hotel and its dates, with party, board and remarks, emailed to the hotel as a numbered supplier copy.

## A forest with a closing date

The Sundarbans show why a calendar has to be enforced rather than remembered. The Forest Department sells entry through its own e-ticketing site with a daily cap at each spot, lists the operators and vessels that run trips, and closes the forest to visitors for three months of the monsoon each year.

Close those dates once across every Sundarbans product, picked by place, with a preview first and one undo, and no agent can book a launch trip that will not sail. Sold as a package departure, the trip counts its seats down as they go; switch on a minimum to run and each morning you are told which departures are still below it, while the decision to run or cancel stays yours.

## Taka balances, settled the way agents pay

Your account and every sub-agent's balance can stay in taka from the first booking.

- **Prepaid, credit or no limit.** You choose per agency; a booking is charged inside its own transaction and refused when the account cannot carry it.
- **A slip instead of a phone call.** An agent reports a payment with the bank reference and the slip; the money moves only when you confirm it.
- **Costs in the hotel's currency.** A net hotel contract can be costed in riyals or rupees on its rate plan, converted at your rate and frozen on the booking.
- **Statements an agency can keep,** with a running balance and a CSV for any date range.
