Several impacts of the Bridge have been identified in different publications but very limited publications are found on tourism industry of the region. Thus, this paper explores the impacts of the Bridge on tourism industry of the southwestern part of Bangladesh. A range of positive outcome have been identified by reviewing and analyzing a number of journal articles, newspapers, electronic and social media, as well as different website information. It is certainly expected that the Bridge will open a new window for tourism industry in the region. The investment and working opportunities in the tourism sector may change dramatically the socio-economic conditions including education, health, employment opportunities, lifestyles, rapid transport services and so on.
