Tourist travel to St Martin’s island will be suspended for nine months starting February 1, according to a decision from the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change.

The closure will remain in effect until November 2025.

Generally, the island’s tourist season runs from October 1 to March 31, but this year, travel has been limited to the earlier date due to new regulations.

Cox's Bazar Additional District Magistrate, Imran Hossain, said that ships will be allowed to operate to St. Martin’s until January 31. "After that, no tourist ships will be allowed to operate.”
