South Korea Joins China, Japan, Germany, Russia And Kazakhstan In Accelerating Mongolia Tourism Boom With Record-Breaking Visitor Spend, Strong Winter Demand And Rising Four-Season Travel Appeal www.travelandtourworld.com

South Korea is joining China, Japan, Germany, Russia, and Kazakhstan in accelerating Mongolia’s tourism boom because winter  travel is no longer a slow season for the country. With more than Twenty-One Thousand international visitors arriving in January 2026 alone, Mongolia is seeing the early impact of its four-season tourism strategy, driven by winter festivals, cultural experiences, and nature-based tours that are attracting higher-spending travelers. The strong start to the year, combined with rising interest from key Asian and European markets, signals a shift away from summer-only tourism toward a more stable and resilient year-round travel economy.
Mongolia has entered 2026 with a quiet but telling signal: winter is no longer the off-season. In January alone, the country welcomed Twenty-One Thousand Sixty-Six international tourists, a figure that points to steady momentum at a time once considered dormant for travel. More importantly, it reflects how Mongolia’s long-term push to become a four-season destination is beginning to pay off.
After a summer-heavy tourism cycle in 2025, the early numbers of 2026 show a shift in travel behavior. Winter festivals, cultural showcases, and nature-based experiences are drawing visitors from across Asia and Europe. South Korea has emerged as a key driver of this trend, joining China, Japan, Germany, Russia, and Kazakhstan in shaping a new chapter for Mongolia’s tourism economy.
A Strong Start to 2026 Signals Change
January tourism figures are rarely headline-grabbing for Mongolia, where harsh winters once discouraged all but the most adventurous travelers. This year is different. Crossing the Twenty-Thousand-Visitor mark in the first month suggests stability rather than a seasonal dip. It also hints at rising visitor spending, as winter tourists tend to stay longer and invest more in curated experiences.
Tourism officials view the January data as proof that targeted winter initiatives are working. Events celebrating nomadic heritage, ice and snow festivals, and guided nature tours across frozen landscapes are reshaping perceptions of Mongolia as more than a summer destination.
South Korea’s Growing Influence on Mongolia  Travel
Among all inbound markets, South Korea stands out for its consistent growth and spending potential. Korean travelers are increasingly drawn to Mongolia’s wide-open landscapes, wellness retreats, and immersive cultural journeys. Winter travel, in particular, appeals to visitors seeking experiences far removed from urban routines.
Direct air links, streamlined travel planning, and strong social media exposure have helped Mongolia gain visibility in South Korea. Travel operators report growing interest in winter packages that blend culture, cuisine, and nature, positioning Korean visitors as one of the most influential segments in Mongolia’s evolving tourism mix.
Winter Tourism Moves from Experiment to Strategy
What was once an experiment has become a clear strategy. Mongolia’s winter tourism push focuses on depth rather than volume. Smaller groups, premium tours, and event-driven travel are encouraging higher visitor spending while reducing pressure on peak summer months.
Winter festivals highlight traditional music, horsemanship, and nomadic customs. Cultural events in Ulaanbaatar and regional centers offer visitors insight into everyday life during the colder months. Nature tours showcase frozen lakes, snow-covered steppes, and star-filled skies, turning winter itself into the main attraction.
This approach aligns with Mongolia’s broader goal of sustainable tourism growth, balancing economic benefits with cultural preservation.
Immigration and Visa Access Support Tourism Growth
Behind the scenes, policy support has played a crucial role. In 2025, Mongolia’s Immigration Agency issued visas to One Hundred Twenty-Four Thousand foreign nationals, reflecting rising international interest and smoother entry processes.
Easier visa access, combined with targeted promotions, has made Mongolia more approachable for travelers considering winter trips. Authorities see visa facilitation as a key lever for maintaining momentum beyond peak seasons.
Key Source Markets Driving Mongolia’s Tourism Boom
The diversity of Mongolia’s inbound markets is one of its strongest assets. Each country contributes a distinct travel profile, helping stabilize arrivals year-round.
South Korea – High-spending travelers drawn to winter festivals, wellness  travel, and cultural immersion
China – Large volume market with strong interest in short-haul cultural and shopping trips
Japan – Experience-focused visitors seeking heritage, nature, and quiet exploration
Germany – Long-haul travelers interested in sustainable tourism and nature-based journeys
Russia – Consistent arrivals supported by proximity and cultural familiarity
Kazakhstan – Regional travelers exploring Mongolia’s landscapes and nomadic traditions
Together, these markets are shaping a more balanced tourism profile that reduces reliance on any single season or source country.
From Summer Peaks to Year-Round Stability
In 2025, Mongolia’s tourism success was concentrated in the summer months, when festivals, open landscapes, and milder weather attracted large crowds. While summer remains important, reliance on a single season exposes the industry to volatility.
The early 2026 numbers suggest Mongolia is moving toward year-round stability. Winter arrivals may not yet rival summer peaks, but their economic impact is significant. Fewer tourists, higher spending, and longer stays translate into stronger returns for local communities.
Hotels, tour operators, and guides are adapting quickly, developing winter-ready infrastructure and services tailored to international expectations.
Cultural Identity at the Center of Growth
Unlike destinations chasing volume at all costs, Mongolia’s tourism narrative remains deeply rooted in identity. Nomadic traditions, local craftsmanship, and seasonal lifestyles are central to the visitor experience.
Winter tourism, in particular, offers a more authentic view of daily life. Visitors experience how communities adapt to extreme climates, care for livestock, and maintain cultural practices during the coldest months. This authenticity resonates strongly with travelers from markets like Germany, Japan, and South Korea, where experiential travel is increasingly valued.
Economic Impact Beyond Visitor Numbers
Tourism growth is not just about arrival figures. Winter travel helps spread income across the year, supporting jobs that were once seasonal. Drivers, guides, artisans, and hospitality workers benefit from steadier demand, reducing the boom-and-bust cycle of summer-only tourism.
Record-breaking visitor spending, driven by premium winter experiences, is also helping Mongolia move up the value chain. Rather than competing on price, the country is positioning itself as a destination for meaningful, high-quality travel.
Mongolia’s Four-Season Vision Takes Shape
The message from early 2026 is clear: Mongolia’s four-season tourism vision is no longer theoretical. With South Korea joining China, Japan, Germany, Russia, and Kazakhstan as key growth drivers, the country is building a resilient tourism model grounded in culture, nature, and thoughtful development.
South Korea is joining China, Japan, Germany, Russia, and Kazakhstan in accelerating Mongolia’s tourism boom as winter travel gains momentum and delivers strong early visitor numbers in 2026. With more than Twenty-One Thousand tourists arriving in January alone, winter festivals, cultural events, and nature tours are reshaping Mongolia into a year-round, high-spending destination.
If the current trajectory holds, Mongolia may soon be recognized not just for its vast summer landscapes, but for its ability to turn the coldest months into a compelling global travel experience—one that delivers economic value while preserving the soul of the steppe.

US Pauses Immigrant Visa Processing for 75 Countries, 13 in Asia-Pacific www.thediplomat.com

The Asian countries apparently impacted include Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Thailand, and Uzbekistan. 
The U.S. State Department has reportedly frozen the processing of immigrant visas for citizens of 75 countries, including more than a dozen in Asia, deemed likely to “take welfare and public benefits.”
The Trump administration’s crackdown on immigration has intensified in recent months, with the expansion of partial and full bans on the issuance of non-immigrant visas – for business, tourism, and study – and immigrant visas, too. While the administration’s immigration restrictions fall disproportionately on African states, a number of Asian states have also been targeted.
First reported by Fox, a recent State Department memo “directs consular officers to refuse visas under existing law while the department reassesses screening and vetting procedures.” CNN reported that the pause will go into effect on January 21; it’s unclear how long it will last.
Current reporting also does not specify which types of immigrant visas will be affected, although the new policy is likely to apply to all categories.
“The State Department will use its long-standing authority to deem ineligible potential immigrants who would become a public charge on the United States and exploit the generosity of the American people,” State Department spokesperson Tommy Piggott said in a statement shared with the media.
“Immigration from these 75 countries will be paused while the State Department reassess immigration processing procedures to prevent the entry of foreign nationals who would take welfare and public benefits.”
The countries covered by the order include 13 in The Diplomat’s coverage region: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Thailand, and Uzbekistan. 
Some of the countries included in this apparent new immigrant visa ban have been subject to partial or full bans on the issuance of nonimmigrant visas, too, including Afghanistan, Laos, and Myanmar. Others – Bangladesh, Bhutan, Kyrgyzstan, and Nepal – were recently included in a planned expansion of the visa bond program, under which prospective recipients of nonimmigrant visas, those for tourism or business, will have to pay up to $15,000 to secure their visa.
Curiously, the list of Asian countries under the apparent new immigrant visa ban includes Central Asia’s two wealthiest states – Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan – but not its poorest, Tajikistan. 
How the State Department determined the list is not clear from currently available information and statements.
In November, after an Afghan national shot two National Guard members, killing one, near the White House in Washington, D.C., U.S. President Donald Trump pledged to “permanently pause” migration from all “Third World Countries.” 
The State Department, as reported by the Associated Press, issued guidance in a cable to embassy and consular officials to “comprehensively and thoroughly vet visa applicants to demonstrate that they will not need to rely on public benefits from the government any time after their admission in the U.S.” The cable focused on what’s known as the “public charge” provision in existing immigration law and reportedly instructed consular officers to deny visas to those deemed likely to rely on public benefits.

Mongolia Welcomes More than Twenty One Thousand Tourists in January 2026, Highlighting its Strong Winter Tourism Growth and Establishing Itself as a Four-Season Destination www.travelandtourworld.com

In January 2026, the total number of tourists that Mongolia has received is 21,066, indicating a steady flow of tourists and increasing winter tourism interest in the country. From the total number of tourists, it is evident that the tourism industry in Mongolia is developing steadily, with winter tourism projects gaining acceptance at a promising rate.
Russia has accounted for the largest number of tourists in the Mongolian region, followed by China, South Korea, Germany, Japan, and Kazakhstan. This shows that the region has strong connectivity and that it is of great appeal to tourists from different parts of the world. Also, the fact that the region receives steady tourists in the winter season shows that the Mongolian initiative to promote its winter activities has had the desired success.
Winter Tourism: A Growing Trend for Mongolia
In previous years, Mongolia’s peak tourism season traditionally occurred during the summer months, but the strong January numbers indicate that winter tourism is becoming an increasingly significant part of the country’s tourism calendar. Mongolia’s appeal is shifting toward a four-season destination, where travelers can enjoy the country’s natural beauty, rich culture, and outdoor adventures year-round.
Winter festivals and cultural events have become essential in attracting tourists during the colder months. Events like the Naadam Winter Festival and Ice Festival not only highlight Mongolia’s unique traditions but also celebrate the country’s stunning winter landscapes, making it an attractive option for tourists looking for adventure and cultural experiences beyond the traditional summer months.
Winter Nature Tours: Mongolia’s Unique Offering
A significant driver of winter tourism in Mongolia is its nature tourism offerings, which have gained popularity among travelers seeking unique experiences in snow-covered landscapes. Nature tours, such as dog sledding, snow trekking, and visits to hot springs, are becoming key components of Mongolia’s winter tourism package. The country’s vast wilderness, which includes snow-capped mountains, deserts, and frozen rivers, offers adventurous activities that appeal to tourists seeking a more tranquil, yet exhilarating, experience in nature.
The promotion of winter tours allows Mongolia to stand out in the international market, positioning itself as a premium destination for winter tourism in Asia and beyond. This also helps to diversify Mongolia’s tourism offerings, ensuring the industry remains stable and sustainable throughout the entire year.
Mongolia’s Four-Season Tourism Vision
Mongolia’s efforts to become a four-season tourism destination are paying off. As more travelers visit in the winter months, the country is poised to capitalize on the growing trend of nocturnal tourism and winter adventure  travel. The rise of winter tourism is not just about attracting visitors during the traditionally slower months; it’s about creating a comprehensive tourism experience that offers something for every season.
Mongolia’s winter tourism growth is setting the stage for the country to see more year-round visitors, contributing to the economic development of local communities and the broader tourism sector. The success of these initiatives underscores the global shift toward experiential travel and seasonal diversity, positioning Mongolia as an exciting destination in the global tourism market.
Future Growth and Sustainability in Tourism
Looking ahead, Mongolia’s tourism sector is on track to continue its growth, driven by the promotion of winter tourism and the development of diverse tourism products. By focusing on sustainability and eco-friendly tourism practices, the country aims to ensure that its tourism sector remains robust and environmentally conscious. Mongolia’s tourism agencies are also working closely with international partners to enhance marketing efforts and tourism infrastructure, ensuring that the country remains a competitive player on the global tourism map.
Winter Tourism Helping Shape Mongolia’s Future
Despite having already reached a tourist presence of over 21,000 in the month of January 2026, the country is surely moving in the right direction to emerge as a four-season destination. This is in light of the success that the winter tourist programs have witnessed, including events such as festivals, as well as nature tours. This means that the tourism sector in the country is set to experience profound success.
Not only does this growth in winter tourist numbers prove the resilience of the Mongolian tourist industry, but it also presents future opportunities for its expansion in a world market where more challenging competition currently awaits.

The Prime Minister underscored that during his meeting with Premier Li Qiang in Moscow in November 2025, the two sides agreed to coordinate China’s 15th Five-Year Plan for socio-economic development with Mongolia’s five-year development plan in order to elevate long-term sustainable development, economic growth, and regional cooperation to a new level.

Government to Update National E-Services Registry Next Month www.montsame.mn

A detailed sector-wide list of public electronic services will be compiled by individual service categories by next month.
Currently, the Register of Services Provided to Individuals and Legal Entities by the Government Electronic Services Regulation Authority includes 785 services delivered by 56 public institutions.

Updating the register is expected to improve coordination among government institutions, eliminate duplication and inconsistencies in information, and enhance the accessibility and efficiency of public services provided to citizens and legal entities, reported the Government Public Relations Department.
At present, 451 services from 43 government institutions are delivered through 482 “Khurdan” kiosks, including 120 in Ulaanbaatar and 362 in rural areas.

9 Mongolian provinces experience harsh wintry weather www.xinhuanet.com

At least nine of all the 21 Mongolian provinces have been experiencing extreme wintry weather, known as "dzud," the country's National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) said Wednesday.
Dzud is a Mongolian term to describe a severely cold winter when a large number of livestock die because the ground is frozen or covered with snow.
"At least nine provinces, including Uvs, Khovd and Zavkhan in the west, as well as Uvurkhangai in the central and Selenge in the north, are now experiencing the dzud," the NEMA said in a statement.
In addition, 16 provinces are experiencing near-dzud conditions, the emergency agency said.
Animal husbandry is one of the main pillars of the Mongolian economy, and almost 40 percent of the country's nomadic population depends on it.
However, due to the harsh and long winter, most of Mongolia's nomadic herders lose livestock every year.
According to NSO, Mongolia had 58.1 million head of livestock at the end of 2025.
