Taufiq Uddin Ahmed, Founder and Chairman of Galaxy Bangladesh, has been honored with the ” Lifetime Achievement Award” at the “Share Trip-Monitor Airline of the Year 2024” for his remarkable contributions to the development of Bangladesh’s travel and tourism industry spanning over five decades.
The award, the country’s only aviation & travel industry-focused recognition, was presented at a ceremony held at the Pan Pacific Sonargaon Hotel in Dhaka, where the Jury Committee lauded his “visionary leadership and pioneering role in transforming the travel sector in Bangladesh.”
Taufiq Uddin Ahmed embarked on his remarkable journey in 1972, establishing Galaxy Travel International at a time when Bangladesh’s travel sector was at its infancy.
Operating from a modest office in Dhaka’s Dilkusha Commercial area, he laid the foundation for what would grow into one of the country’s most respected multi-sector service companies.
In the seventies and eighties, Taufiq led Galaxy Travel to become the preeminent corporate travel service provider in Bangladesh to various government entities, corporate Houses, local and foreign banks, MNCs, and NGOs. This established Galaxy’s position at the forefront of the country’s travel and aviation community.
Driven by a lifelong fascination with travel and an ambition to connect Bangladesh with the rest of the world, Taufiq guided Galaxy to bring multiple global airlines into the Bangladesh market.
