The confluence of the Padma, Meghna, and Dakatia rivers in Chandpur has become a major attraction for both domestic and foreign tourists. Visitors are drawn by the area’s natural beauty, where the rivers meet to create a sea-like landscape. During Eid and other festive occasions, crowds gather to enjoy boat rides, local food, and the scenic sunset views. The site offers free entry, children’s play areas, and various entertainment options, making it a popular destination year-round.

Chandpur’s municipal administrator Ershad Uddin said the growing number of visitors during Eid has been challenging to manage. He noted that plans are underway to expand facilities at the confluence and the nearby “Mini Cox’s Bazar.” Local MP Sheikh Farid Ahmed Manik stated that tourism development is part of his five-year plan, including a walkway from the New Market–Old Market Bridge to the launch terminal, new hotels, restaurants, cable cars, and floating eateries.

Officials said they intend to seek financial support from the Bangladesh Tourism Corporation to enhance the area’s infrastructure and make Chandpur’s tourist spots more attractive.
