People from 12 indigenous communities including Chakma, Tripura, Khumi, Bom, Mro, Lusai and Pangkhoa from Chittagong Hill Tracts and Cox’s Bazar are participating in the fair.

A total of 30 organizations, mostly NGOs and other business houses, showcased their products in 30 stalls in the fair.

Cox’s Bazaar is known for its wide sandy beach which is claimed to be the world’s longest natural sandy sea beach. It is an unbroken 125 km sandy sea beach with a gentle slop. Since the rise and fall of the tide here is not great, it is a good place for sea bathing.
