Descripción: The role of destination image, during the destination selection process, is of great significance. Most of the destination image researches have been aimed at western destinations; research on low profile destinations like Bangladesh has been limited. This study addressed this gap by attempting an in-depth understanding of Bangladesh image as a tourist destination worldwide, on the basis of primary data collected from European and Asian respondents residing in UK. The research revealed a current situation of very low image of Bangladesh, which appeared distorted and highly negative among most respondents. This report further aid in understanding that destination image is formed through a consistent information circulation between the destination and the tourists’ home country. A proper communication of the brand has great impact on the formation of a positive image and the success of a destination.   Keywords: Bangladesh tourism, image study, ecotourism, enclave tourism
