Abstract: This case study narrates the story of selected tourism initiatives in rural areas of Bangladesh. These tourism initiatives are undertaken by individuals (e.g., local people) who are mostly of young at age. This case interestingly identifies that these initiatives are informal in nature. No formal organisation setup has been established by the entrepreneurs. This case is analysed using ANT and tourismscape theory and it is noted that informal relationship among the actor networks may threaten the sustainability of these local informal tourism initiatives in the long run.
