Very few researches have been done on the impact of tourism on local residents of Cox's bazaar. On this research we will try to find out the impact of tourism development on Cox's bazaar. We will try to analyse the positive and negative impact of tourism on economical, social, cultural and environment factors. The research is unique as it looks at the socio economic factors of a country from the perspective of tourism. It also highlights the trends and the pace of development in Bangladesh and how has it affected stakeholders residing in the region. The aim of this work, which is applying cutting edge technology, is to obtain a thorough knowledge of the environment at different stages of tourism development, and diagnose their condition and its evolutionary perspective as role models obtained. In this way, and scientific criteria, the researchers propose to the competent authorities strategies to positive economic development for local societies, but without losing a sustainable approach to the use of these fragile coastal areas.
