The study was undertaken to realize agro-biological aspects of Tourism, prospects, importance, challenges, and suggestion for the improvement in the present scenario of agro-tourism in Bangladesh. Agro-tourism in Bangladesh is in its very beginning and there are many weaknesses, challenges, and threats that retard the successfulness of Agro-tourism which need to be solved soon. Bangladesh has a lot of options when it comes to promote the concept of Agro-tourism and find new means that can contribute to its overall economy. After analyzing the relevance of Agro-tourism in Bangladesh, the possible promotional strategies have been suggested.
