As Bangladesh’s BNP government prepares to present its first national budget, the country’s aviation and tourism industries are urging the government to move beyond nominal allocations and introduce a coherent policy framework they say has been missing for decades. Industry leaders argue that such a framework could transform these strategically important sectors into key drivers of economic growth.
Aviation operators are calling for tax relief on jet fuel, aircraft leasing, and airline operations to reduce costs and enhance competitiveness. They also seek budgetary support for operational readiness of the new terminal at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport. Tourism entrepreneurs, meanwhile, want the long-delayed National Tourism Master Plan implemented, along with investment incentives, institutional backing, and an electronic visa system to attract foreign visitors.
Stakeholders view the 2026–27 budget as a test of the BNP’s election pledge to make Bangladesh a regional aviation hub and a globally competitive tourism destination by 2034. They emphasize that the budget’s true measure will be whether it signals long-term policy commitment rather than just allocation size.
