Tourists will be allowed to stay overnight. Six ships were approved to operate, but only three sails today
Tourist season on Saint Martin’s Island begins today and will continue for two months until the end of January next year.
Under the new guidelines, no vessels or speedboats will be permitted to the island without prior approval from the Ministry of Environment.
Saint Martin’s Island officially opened for tourism at the start of November. Yet, there is not a single holidaymaker in sight as tour operators await permission to ferry visitors between the island and the mainland.

With an abundance of natural beauty, breath-taking sights and fun activities, every island has its unique selling point. Here are some islands in Bangladesh that people ought to visit at least once.
