Bangladesh Government's digital platform for safe, monitored, and sustainable tourism across the spectacular Chittagong Division.
The Chittagong Division Smart Tourism System (CDSTS) was launched by the Ministry of Civil Aviation & Tourism with a single mission: make the breathtaking natural beauty of Chittagong Division accessible to all Bangladeshis and international visitors, while ensuring their complete safety and respecting the indigenous communities who call these lands home.
Through IoT checkpoints, real-time tracking, and digital QR permits, we've created a system where tourists travel freely and confidently — while multiple security agencies (Army, Tourist Police, BGB) maintain seamless oversight across all zones.
