When one of the best choices for the Bangladeshi middle class is to pay a ridiculous amount of money to job recruiters for the privilege of indentured servitude doing heavy manual labour, menial janitorial service or serving as maids in one of the Arab Gulf states like Saudi Arabia or Kuwait you know the country is suffering economically. Many Bangladeshis are being radicalized while working in the Gulf, and some of the money they send home is probably going to extremists to buy weapons to de-stabilise an already shaky nation.
While the country struggles, the ruling families continue to suck wealth from their own people and from foreign aid for their own benefits and continue their internal struggles with each other for power.

For starters, It simply alludes me as to why anyone would want to visit such a rundown country in the first place.
It's full of forced labour, child labour, people trafficking, unethical work practice, crazy work hours, shoddy building that could immanently collapse and ranking in the top ten most corrupt government list.
Oh and not forgetting, the continent is on the verge of disappearing by the ever so rising aea levels.
The day that region got its independence from the former British colony was the it sealed it faith. I for one would never visit such barbaric region even if my life depended on it.
