Also known as the Meithei, the Manipuri are of Mongolian descent and speak a language called Meithei. • Sylhet is famous for its scenic tea plantations and lush green tropical forests. In sharp contrast to the flat plains of most of Bangladesh, Sylhet is characterized by forested, slopey hills. Most Manipuri live in the district of Sylhet in northeastern Bangladesh. This district borders the Indian state of Meghalaya.

- 3. "Community-based tourism is a sort of tourism in which local communities invite tourists into their communities, providing them with a glimpse of their culture and daily life. It is a sort of sustainable tourism that enables visitors to interact closely with the host community. (Jong, 2019)
- 4. • Tourists can experience the diversity and customs of another country and interact with the local populace. In their day-to-day activities, the locals frequently reflect on their means of subsistence, cuisine, handiwork, cultural legacy, and other topics that reveal their expertise. These kinds of activities lay the groundwork for expanding awareness and acquiring knowledge about another culture's beliefs and social conventions. • Even though Community tourism is welcomed and hosted by the area community's people, they are occasionally exploited by foreigners with unpleasant statements and discriminatory attitudes. Even though their cultural phenomenon is largely acknowledged by outsiders, it is sometimes observed that locals fail to retain their own culture and make an excessive effort to appease foreigners. The repercussions of community-based tourism have both positive and negative consequences. Sociologists and anthropologists have been working on this sector for a very long time to benefit both the people and the locals without disturbing either side.
- 5. Significance of the study • The concept of community-based tourism is new in Bangladesh. Though this concept is familiar in the Chittagong hill tracts, but in Sylhet region, especially in the Manipuri’s it is almost new. This paper aims to suggest the ways to improve and promote community-based tourism and the impact of the Manipuri people. Community-based tourism or CBT can improve people’s life in a new way and can be a good way for improving.
