After a long wait, tourist trips to Saint Martin Island in the Bay of Bengal will resume on December 1. Ships will depart from Cox’s Bazar’s Nuniachhara Jetty at 7 a.m. and return the following day at 3 p.m., allowing visitors to stay overnight on the island for the first time this season. Authorities have set a daily visitor limit of 2,000 and prepared seven ships for continuous operation over two months. Although the island reopened to tourists on November 1, the absence of overnight facilities kept visitors away. The Sea Cruise Operators Association reported increased interest following the announcement of overnight stays. The Department of Environment in Cox’s Bazar stated that strict monitoring will be enforced for tourist movement. Tickets will be available through the Bangladesh Tourism Board’s online portal, featuring travel passes and QR codes. Officials emphasized that all visitors must comply with environmental protection regulations during their stay.
