Cricket boosts commerce in Kolkata’s Mini B’desh

The economy of a small area in Kolkata, India, has been boosted by sports tourism. Over 2,000 tourists from Bangladesh have arrived in the city to support their cricket team during the World Cup. Despite the team’s losses, traders in the area are happy as the influx of tourists has led to increased business in hotels, eateries, and shopping destinations. The area has become known as “Mini Bangladesh” due to the large number of Bangladeshi tourists staying there.
