Abstract: Bangladesh has a massive potential to flourish in its tourism sector, especially in historical places like Wari-Bateshwar, as it has spectacular resources to present. This study analyzes the effects of motivation (push and pull) on tourists' satisfaction with choosing Wari-Bateshwar as a destination. One hundred questionnaires were completed using Google Docs. Data were gathered from the tourists who visited outside of Narsingdi and the Dhaka University campus by structured questionnaires. The study demonstrates that accommodation availability in the tourist spot gains the highest importance. Gradual importance is attained from the elements- easily reached and cleanliness of the destination, pleasant and safe accommodation, personal security, prices of different products, availability of hygienic food and beverages, availability of recreation facilities, reasonable rent of accommodation, and shopping facility. After examining the post-visit opinion, some elements are treated negatively, e.g., the price of various products (food, drink, handicrafts, etc.), public toilet availability, different recreation facilities (Water Park, sports facility, nightlife, etc.), and shopping facility. This study has extensive implications for further research in tourism.
