Government of Mongolia approves plan to promote winter tourism
The Ministry of Environment and Tourism of Mongolia has developed a plan to promote winter tourism in Mongolia
The Ministry of Environment and Tourism of Mongolia has developed a plan to promote winter tourism in Mongolia, increase the number of tourists, and implement projects based on local communities after the Mongolian government announced 2023-2025 as the "Years to Visit Mongolia". The Cabinet members, governors of Ulaanbaatar and 21 provinces, along with heads of relevant public organizations, were directed to prioritize the implementation of activities outlined in the Plan from January 1 to May 1, 2024. To attract more winter tourists, enhance tourism flow, mitigate seasonality, and foster the development of winter tourism, the Plan mandates that MIAT Mongolian Airlines maintains its discount ranging from 25-40 percent on the average flight prices. Additionally, the Plan outlines collaborative efforts with tour operators to immediately plan winter trips. Hotels, tourist camps, resorts, and healthcare centers in Mongolia offer significant fee reductions of up to 50 percent during the winter season. To coincide with public and winter holidays in Mongolia, a variety of leisure and travel opportunities will be made available. The tourism program consists of the development of border tourism routes alongside the organization of national and other sporting competitions and activities, including road trips, traditional ice-knuckle bone shooting and archery tournaments, as well as national festivals, such as "Mungulug Shagshuurga" (Silver Reeds) Winter Festival and "Blue Pearl" Ice Festival, the Eagle Festival, the Camel Festival and Camel Polo matches, the Reindeer Festival, and Tsagaan Sar.
