At bti, these are some of the qualities we strive to nurture in individuals, making golf a game after our own hearts. In the past thirty years, as the pioneer real estate developer of Bangladesh, we have been one of the founding members of REHAB and have successfully completed and delivered over 3000 apartments to our valued customers. However, our core objectives and responsibilities are not limited to this. We have greater aims for the progress of our nation and its place in the world.”

He also added that the recent upsurge in the popularity of golf has been made evident as more and more talented and enthusiastic amateur and professional golfers are rising up and taking a stand. Our culture is evolving in the field of sports, and Bangladesh is making a mark internationally. In keeping pace with these changes and in promoting our sportsmen, this tournament aims to broaden the horizon of golf in our country and to further distinguish ourselves on an international platform.
