The contribution of micro-businesses is essential towards economic development in Bangladesh. Micro-enterprises provide income and employment opportunities to the people, especially those with low incomes, and offered more affordable goods and services to the public. The recent outbreak of Covid-19 has severely affected the global and Bangladeshi economy.

Researchers, marketers, and government officials might benefit from an increased understanding of notions of destination personality and its implications in tourism, which could lead to adjustments and improvements in the branding of tourist, business, and other kinds of destinations. Hence, it is essential to emphasise that this paper is only a qualitative evaluation of the literature and therefore confined to the results of prior research in this area.
