Mongolia: Looking to Market Winter

Mongolia: Looking to Market Winter | Mongolia Times | Scoop.it
Mongolia’s sweeping steppe and nomadic heritage attract tens of thousands of tourists from around the world each summer.
Andre Hessini's curator insight, April 27, 2014 11:18 PM

This article explains that, while Mongolia enjoys an ample amount of tourism in the summer months, all that revenue dries up in winter, with an 85 to 90% drop in visits from foreigners. Currently, tourism rakes in less than 6% of the Mongolian economy, and government officials are determined to change that. They’ve made it a top priority to increase Winter month tourism, and they’ve begun by planting a few winter themed festivals, as well as marketing Mongolian Winter Sports to thrill seekers abroad. Some claim that Mongolia gets a bad reputation for it cold winters, while they really aren’t as bad as people often assume. I’m happy to see the government trying to diversify its economy. It’s never good to become too reliant on one thing, and I think this is especially true when it comes to mining, given how most of the ‘ghost towns’ we see around America today are the direct result of mining ventures run cold.
