Mongolia will benefit well from Airbnb. Airbnb is an online marketplace that enables people to list, find, and then rent vacation homes for a processing fee. It has over 1,500,000 listings in 34,000 cities and 191 countries. On the vast green Mongolian grasslands, enterprising nomadic herders have started using AirBnB to reach out to a world beyond their pastures, promoting their humble Gers as accommodations to a growing number of intrepid tourists. It is a startling and unlikely move in Mongolia, where the digital divide is great. AirBnB combines two sectors that the Mongolian government is keen to develop: the digital economy and tourism. In a nation that is overly reliant on mining, with mineral and metal products making up roughly 90% of the nation's total exports, policymakers see the necessity of diversifying the economy.
