Bangladesh is open to leisure tourists, but it is a higher-risk trip right now because of unrest, terrorism concerns, crime, and active regional violence in the Chittagong Hill Tracts and near the Myanmar border. International tourist arrivals are weak and still declining, so travel is possible but not especially easy or low-risk.
