Dhaka, Nov. 2 -- Bangladesh's hotel industry could compete with, and even surpass, hospitality sectors elsewhere in Asia, but it lacks the long-term planning needed to realise its potential, Renaissance Dhaka Gulshan Hotel General Manager Md Al Amin says.

A shared vision between the government and private sector, supported by clear targets, investor incentives and investment in skilled workers, could put the industry on a stronger footing, he said.

Al Amin spoke on bdnews24.com's discussion programme Chinwag with the Chiefs, broadcast on its YouTube channel and Facebook page.

He discussed changes in Dhaka's hotel business, foreign guests' expectations, Bangladeshi food, staffing and investment.
