The Hajj Agencies Association of Bangladesh (HAAB) has urged the government to withdraw the proposed Bangladesh Travel Agency (Registration and Regulation) Ordinance 2025, introduced by the Ministry of Civil Aviation and Tourism. At a press conference in Dhaka, HAAB leaders, including President Syed Golam Sarwar and Secretary General Farid Ahmed Majumdar, argued that the proposed law would severely harm the travel industry. They claimed that over 90% of the country’s 5,946 registered travel agencies rely on inter-agency ticketing, which the new ordinance seeks to ban. According to HAAB, this restriction could force around 5,000 agencies to shut down, affecting nearly 50,000 families dependent on the sector. The association also objected to provisions prohibiting travel agencies from operating recruiting businesses at the same address, saying it would increase operational costs. HAAB called for reconsideration of the ordinance to protect the continuity and stability of the travel and tourism sector, which plays a vital role in supporting remittance inflows and facilitating Hajj and Umrah travel services.
