Hatirjheel, attraction of Dhaka

At the heart of Bangladesh's capital, Dhaka is the location of Hatirjheel. Mainly the purpose of its making was transportation, for reducing the rise of day by day jam in Dhaka. It helps to reduce jamming in some region's of Dhaka city like Tejgaon, Gulshan, Badda, Rampura, Mouchak and Maghbazar.
Hatirjheel was made by a unit of Bangladesh Army, 'Special Works Organization' (SOW).

Aside from reducing jamming Hatirjheel project was created for accumulating rainwater, for preventing flooding, reducing the rate of impure water.
Above all, now it's not only used for transportation or accumulating rainwater but also for its

architectural design make it unique and now Hatirjheel become a craze of Bangladesh. Now peoples come from different countries and domestic areas to visit this site.
Hatirjheel coverage in an area of 320 acres. RAJUK (Capital Development Authority of the Govt. Of Bangladesh) has 46% of the area which includes an area of 81 acres to court of walks, 141 acres of public lands and 1 acre for BTV. The project first permitted in October 2007. The project was said to be finished in three years time (in June 2010), but the construction began in December 2008. It took a further half year time for expanding it. The total money to create the project included the money of RAJUK (1113.7 billion in taka), LGED (2760 million) and WASA (866.95 million).
Legend has it that the elephants of Dhaka's Pilkhana used to takes bath in these wetlands – there the name
comes Hatirjheel. Urban planner, architect Iqbal Habib, who heads the consulting firm of the Hatirjheel-Begunbari development project, said that the Bhawal Raja used to keep his tamed elephants at Pilkhana. He said that the elephants were taken to the wetlands through the Elephant Road and Hatirpool.
Hatirjheel located at the center of Dhaka, but for international location, it's coordinates are latitude of 23.7495747 and a longitude of 90.3967635.
The Hatirjheel-Begunbari project was inaugurated in January 2, 2013 by the Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina at 11 o'clock at morning. Right before the inauguration the Prime Minister had a look all around the Hatirjheel. The Hatirjheel project opened for the use of general people after the inauguration. As Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said, it was a new year gift to the people, while inaugurating the project on Wednesday.

On the occasion of the inauguration, Hatirjheel had been decorated with multi-colored flowers and fluttering flags of different hues. In the evening of the inaugural day the city dwellers viewed a spectacular display of fireworks in the vicinity of the project. The Hatirjheel-Begunbari project stretches from the Sonargaon Hotel all the way to Banasree.
Colorful lights illuminating the wide expanse of concrete structures, lake and waterfronts would take anyone to a world of fantasy. No wonder that within a few days since its inauguration on January 2 it has become a popular spot for city dwellers, who search for peace and beauty in their never-ending struggle in the concrete jungle of Dhaka.

Tourism & Tourists

As the first post on this blog, I would like to introduce you about tourism. Mean what it is, and it's purpose.
Also, how can you make it better than better for you?
The word Tourism contains travel for recreational, leisure, family or business purpose, usually a limited duration. Tourism is commonly associated with trans-national travel, but may also refer to travel to another location within the same country.
With this, the World Tourism organization defines tourists as people travelling to and staying in places outside their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other purpose (referred by Wikipedia).
With those definitions, I think it's clear to you that, what is tourism and which peoples are called tourists.
Now I would like to tell you that, although the blog name refers World Tour Info but also as a Bangladeshi I want to give my country the first priority. Because of BANGLADESH has lots of beautiful places and it's my duty to tntroduced those places to the peoples of the world.
After that I prefer to post the world's famous places where you want to lose yourself with friends, families and others.
