Bangladesh is one of the emerging economies in the globe with some natural as well as artificial attractions. It is full of rivers, coasts, and beaches, archaeological sites, religious places, hills, forests, waterfalls, tea gardens, etc. However, the shocking thing is that only around half a million etc tourists visit the country every year. Therefore it can easily imagine the contribution of this sector to the country's GDP. Over the years, economists, hence, are urging to take a look at this promising sector. The good news is that more recently, it got serious attention by the policymakers at the national level, possibly because of the pressure to achieve SDGs by 2030. The outcome of this increasing attention culminates in some initiatives such as promoting and maintaining the tourism destinations, developing infrastructure such as accommodation, eateries, communication and transportation, parking facilities, etc. As the initiation attempted by the policy makers of Bangladesh, we intended to work on this particular tourism spot like Ramsagar in Dinajpur district of Bangladesh. In this study, the tourism practioners for this blemish got the suggestions to attract the massive tourists and enhance earning from this field. It also assists to contribute more to the GDP of Bangladesh by this tourism sport in Dinajpur district. \section[{II. Briefing of Ramsagar National Park}]{II. Briefing of Ramsagar National Park}\par Between 1750 and 1755 the Ramsar was built by a kind Hindu king Ram Nath and the big lake named in honor Ram Nath. During that century, the region was ruled by 11 Kings lead by Shukh Dev. Among them, Pran Nath and Ram Nath were the best and innovative. During their ruling, huge palaces, temples, etc. built, and lakes dug for the public interest. The water reservoir Ramsar was made to provide local inhabitants with safe drinking water. Its construction initiated by King Ram Nath involving lakhs of people's labor. The tank named after Raja Ram Nath who excavated it on the eve of the battle of polashi. At that time Alivardi Khan was the Nawab of Bengal. The tank was excavated to supply drinking water to the people living in the surrounding villages. It said that there were a continuous drought and famine in this part of the country from 1750 to 1755 AD. Perhaps Ram Nath initiated to dig the tank by 'food for work' and help to survive the famine-stricken people. By investing 30,000 Taka for the about 1.5 million labors, the Ramsar burrowed. The total size of Ramsar in its water area is 1079m the length of north-south and 192.6m by the side of east-west. The depths of the cistern are about 9.5m. There was a ghat in the middle of the western bank, and the remains of it still exist. Made of sandstone slabs of different sizes, the structure measured about 45.8m by 18.3m. The tank surrounded by 10.75m high mound. Beyond the edge the surrounding is a plain area having some undulating landscape. Ramsagar is the attractive tourist spot cared by the Bangladesh Parjatan Corporation (BPC). There are some initiative has been taken by the BPC to enhance the beautification of this spot. The new rest house constructed on the western side of the tank and some small recreation spots for the children on the four sides of the huge water body are the results of those initiatives. \section[{III.}]{III.}\par The Objective of the Study a) To know the offered tourism facilities in Ramsagar. b) To measure tourist satisfaction level towards the tourism facilities in Ramsagar. c) To analysis tourist expectation about the tourism facilities in Ramsagar.\par More specially, the hypothesis of the study is as follows:\par H 0 = Tourists are satisfied towards the current facilities of Ramsagar.\par H 1 = Tourists are not pleased towards the present attributes of Ramsagar.\par IV. \section[{Research Methodology}]{Research Methodology}\par This study utilized a survey instrument to address the research question. Convenience and judgment sampling techniques are used to collect the primary data. There are 50 respondents were interviewed who have visited at least two times in this spot to collect the data. According to Rosco, sample size > 30 and <500 are appropriate for most research {\ref (Sekaran, 2003)}. All the questions are asked only for this particular research area. Factors related to the tourist's satisfactions and expectations are passed by the pretesting procedure. Five-point Likert scales were developed on the attributes of this tourist location for collecting data matching with the research question. The method of frequency distribution, mean and standard deviation are applied to analyze the data.\par V. The table showed that 50 respondents were considered to collect the primary data where 54\% were male, and 46 \% were female. Most of the tourists more than 68\% were young while only 10\% were more than the age 46. There are 60\% respondents were undergraduates and below undergraduate and 70\% were unmarried while 70\% is having monthly income more than Tk.10, 000. The above table is the result of pre-testing procedure. There are 25 respondents (tourists) were interviewed to diagnose the factors motivate to choose the particular location for visiting as a tourist. Mainly, the top seven features marked 96\% considered for analyzing genuinely. \section[{Result and Discussion}]{Result and Discussion} \section[{a) Characteristics of Respondents}]{a) Characteristics of Respondents} \section[{c) Top Factors for Choosing a Location}]{c) Top Factors for Choosing a Location} \begin{quote} Figure 1\end{quote} \par The model shows that the seven factors enticed to desire the Ramsagar a tourism spot in Dinajpur district of Bangladesh. \section[{VI.}]{VI.} \section[{Tourism Facilities in Ramsagar}]{Tourism Facilities in Ramsagar}\par The main attraction of this spot is pool contains about 80 acre water land.

Conclusion and Recommendation}]{VII. Conclusion and Recommendation}\par The objective of this study was to explore the tourism facilities in the tourist spot of Ramsagar in Dinajpur district of Bangladesh. We also diagnosed the factors influenced to choose this spot for exploring the tourism facilities for this side. We found seven issues enticed to visit this place. But the visitors were not satisfied to the entire factors related with the tourism facilities of this location. Sometimes tourists were contented with the particular things and sometimes they were somehow neutral towards the aspects available to the mentioned location. We also assessed the aspired benefits by the visitors to visit this spot and made them category as the level of expectation of the tourists. We also unearthed the problems so that the visitors were of interest to stopover this place. Security and accommodation were the problems visitors quoted to select this position. Transportation, food, and beverage, medical and ATM were also mentionable. The table mentioned somehow visitors were satisfied and neutral on the specific issues, but the test result proved that they were not happy at all towards those things related to the satisfaction of the tourists. As a result, the authority of this spot should take necessary initiatives to improve the stated issues recounted the satisfaction of the tourists. Especially, security, accommodation and transportation problems should be solved immediately. New sorts of rides for the kids and young should add to the existing amenities of this spot. Additional toil should deploy for maintaining the sites. A record book should keep for making available of information about this place. Ultimately these actions would be obliged to attract the more tourists and enhancing more earrings from this spot. \section[{Global Journal of Management and Business Research}]{Global Journal of Management and Business Research}\par Volume XVIII Issue I Version I Year ( ) 2018 \begin{figure}[htbp] \noindent\textbf{} \par \begin{longtable}{} \end{longtable} \par {\small\itshape [Note: (2014) worked on various locations in Rangpur and Dinajpur district, Masud (2015) did the study on the overall tourism marketing in Bangladesh.
