Kenya, Egypt, India, Mongolia, French Riviera Rank As The Top 2026 Luxury Destinations in A&K Worldwide Sale www.travelandtourworld.com

Kenya, Egypt, India, Mongolia, and the French Riviera are being highlighted as the top 2026 trends in luxury travel, with high-end operator Abercrombie & Kent launching its 2026 Worldwide Sale that offers big savings on Tailormade and Small Group Journeys, boosting high‑end tourism to these destinations.
Kenya: New luxury safari lodge in Amboseli
Abercrombie & Kent is promoting Kenya as a premier 2026 safari destination, with a focus on a new A&K Sanctuary property, Kitirua Plains Lodge, opening in mid‑2026 in Amboseli National Park near Mount Kilimanjaro. This intimate lodge will feature just thirteen standalone suites, offering a modern, exclusive safari experience focused on Maasai culture, wildlife viewing and wilderness immersion in southern Kenya.
Travelers can expect private, guided game drives, bush dinners under the stars, and deep cultural encounters with local communities, all within a conservancy area adjacent to the national park. This new luxury offering is expected to attract high‑spending international tourists, supporting local tourism employment and conservancies, while also raising Kenya’s profile as a top bucket‑list destination for luxury African tourism in 2026.
India: Wild cat safaris in Madhya Pradesh
India is emerging as a key 2026 trend for wildlife lovers, with Abercrombie & Kent noting strong demand for wild cat safaris, especially in the central state of Madhya Pradesh. Ranthambore in Rajasthan and the core parks in Madhya Pradesh, such as Bandhavgarh and Kanha, are seeing healthy tiger populations, making them ideal for exclusive luxury wildlife tourism where guests can track Bengal tigers in comfort.
Abercrombie & Kent is featuring an eleven‑day Tailormade Tiger Tracking in India journey that combines stays in high‑end jungle lodges with expert naturalist guides, catering to international travelers seeking a luxury travel experience that blends adventure, culture, and wildlife. This focus on rewilding, conservation, and upmarket tourism is helping to position India as a sophisticated alternative to classic African safaris, with a growing impact on regional tourism in central India.
Egypt: Grand Egyptian Museum and Nile dahabiya sailings
Egypt is a key 2026 focus for heritage tourism, coinciding with the opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum and renewed interest in the Nile. Abercrombie & Kent is promoting Egyptologist‑led journeys that include private visits to iconic sites, with a strong emphasis on small‑ship, luxury Nile travel on historic-style dahabiya riverboats.
New riverboat options, such as the Zein Nile Chateau and the upcoming Nile Seray, will be launched in 2026 as exclusive luxury cruise tourism vessels that sail from Luxor to Aswan and beyond. These private, all‑inclusive Nile experiences are designed for high‑end travelers who want to explore ancient temples, tombs, and monuments away from the mass‑tourism crowds, supporting a more sustainable and high‑value form of cultural tourism in Egypt.
Mongolia: Naadam Festival and Gobi Desert adventure
For travelers seeking truly unique and remote experiences, Mongolia is being positioned as a specialist destination in 2026, with Abercrombie & Kent offering a Small Group Journey that combines the traditional Naadam Festival with exploration of the Gobi Desert. This itinerary is aimed at guests who already know mainstream destinations and are looking for authentic cultural tourism and immersion in one of the world’s last nomadic lifestyles.
Participants can witness wrestling, archery, and horse racing at Naadam, visit local herder families, and explore the dramatic landscapes of the Gobi, all in a private, responsibly operated tour format. By promoting Mongolia as a luxury experiential tourism destination, the 2026 Worldwide Sale is helping to diversify international tourism flows into outer Asia, benefiting local guides, lodges, and community‑based tourism initiatives.
French Riviera: Set‑jetting and luxury Mediterranean cruises
The French Riviera, particularly the French Riviera in the south of France, is highlighted as a 2026 hotspot for luxury Mediterranean tourism, driven by global “set‑jetting” trends and renewed interest in glamorous coastal destinations. Abercrombie & Kent is promoting private stays in iconic hotels and resorts along the Côte d’Azur, as well as a 2027 cruise on the A&K x Crystal Cruises journey from the French Riviera to Lisbon, to capture the anticipated demand.
This high‑end positioning supports the region’s existing luxury tourism infrastructure, including boutique hotels, fine dining, and yachting services, while also attracting a new wave of affluent travelers who want a stylish, curated experience beyond typical beach holidays. The combination of set‑jetting buzz and exclusive cruise itineraries is expected to lift per‑visitor spending in the region and strengthen the French Riviera’s role as a year‑round, high‑value destination in European tourism.
A&K Worldwide Sale 2026: Savings and tourism impact
Abercrombie & Kent’s 2026 Worldwide Sale is offering significant savings to lock in journeys before the end of February 2026, with up to six thousand per booking on Tailormade Journeys and up to thirty-seven hundred fifty per person on select Small Group, Private Ready‑To‑Book, and Cruise itineraries. These savings cover travel to over one hundred countries across six continents, with a strong focus on the priority 2026 destinations: Kenya, Egypt, India, Mongolia, and the French Riviera.
By making high‑end, experiential travel more accessible, the sale is expected to boost bookings to these destinations and encourage longer, more immersive trips, which in turn supports local tourism businesses, conservation projects, and cultural preservation efforts. This shift toward longer, higher‑value trips is a positive sign for the sustainability and quality of international tourism in 2026, especially in emerging and niche destinations.

International disaster response exercise to be held in Uvs Province www.ubpost.mn

The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) of Mongolia, in collaboration with the United States Indo-Pacific Command, is preparing to host the “Gobi Wolf-2026” international disaster response exercise in Uvs Province. In connection with this event, a working group meeting to develop the exercise’s policy and program framework was held at NEMA from January 21 to 23.
Participants focused on designing the exercise program based on regional and local disaster types, risk factors, environmental and geographical conditions, and the needs for humanitarian assistance. The goal is to ensure that the exercise reflects real-world challenges and prepares all participating organizations for effective coordination in emergencies.
The exercise comes at a time when the frequency and severity of natural disasters in Mongolia and the region are increasing. Experts emphasize that international cooperation is crucial for strengthening disaster preparedness, emergency response coordination, and humanitarian aid delivery. The “Gobi Wolf” exercise is part of the broader “Pacific Resilience Exercise and Exchange Program”, which aims to enhance cooperation among national agencies, improve efficiency in delivering humanitarian assistance, and provide hands-on training for practical disaster response.
Uvs Province, located in western Mongolia, is characterized by its mountainous terrain, extensive river systems, lakes, and diverse ecosystems, including plains, river basins, and mountainous areas. While these features make it an ideal location for realistic training, they also increase the risk of hazards such as floods, blizzards, and severe weather events.
According to NEMA, the “Gobi Wolf-2026” exercise will allow participating agencies to test coordination under realistic disaster conditions, exchange experience and knowledge, and strengthen the capacity to respond to new challenges. The exercise is expected to foster long-term partnerships and further international collaboration in disaster management and humanitarian assistance.

Mongolia’s Olympic outfit stuns social media www.kz.kursiv.media

The Mongolian National Olympic Committee has officially presented the ceremonial uniform for the country’s national team for the upcoming 2026 Winter Olympic Games, hosted by Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo.
The ceremonial and casual uniforms were designed by Mongolia’s brand Goyol Cashmere. The attire is inspired by the clothing of the Great Mongol Empire, spanning the 13th to 15th centuries. The focus was not on mixing ethnic elements with contemporary design, but on reimagining ancient culture and its transition into a modern global context.
«Using Mongolian cashmere — long relied upon by our nomadic people to endure harsh winters — we have created ceremonial deels [traditional Mongolian garment; ed. note] that honor traditional history and culture, alongside premium cashmere-knit casual ensembles inspired by alpine ski sweaters rooted in Western mountain culture, enriched with motifs of the Mongolian ger [traditional dwelling; ed. note] and nomadic life,» the caption read.
The presentation on social media is accompanied by the slogan:
«What We Carried Through Winter — We Carry to the World.»
The collection has already generated significant buzz online. Users have highlighted its authenticity and strong national identity, emphasizing Mongolian character on the world sports stage.
This is not the first time Mongolia’s Olympic uniform has drawn attention. Previously, the uniforms of Mongolian athletes for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris caused a stir and received recognition among fashion enthusiasts. International reviews praised the design as one of the most interesting Olympic outfits, noting how it effectively combined national flavor with modern trends.

Nonsan agricultural product expands exports to Mongolia www.koreapost.com

Nonsan City is accelerating efforts to expand overseas markets for its agricultural and food products, marking a significant step toward building sustainable export channels in Mongolia.
On January 22, Nonsan City signed business agreements with six major Mongolian distribution companies at the Chinggis Khaan Hotel in Ulaanbaatar, aiming to boost exports of locally produced agri-food products.
Under the agreement, key agricultural products—including strawberries and grapes produced in Nonsan—will be supplied to the Mongolian market from 2026 through 2028. The total value of the agreement amounts to USD 700,000 (approximately KRW 1 billion).
Both sides agreed to expand exports across a wide range of Nonsan agricultural products, including fresh produce and processed foods, while establishing a stable supply system linked to local distribution networks in Mongolia. They also plan to pursue phased, mid- to long-term cooperation strategies to ensure sustained growth in exports.
Nonsan Mayor Baek Sung-hyun said the agreement represents “an important starting point for Nonsan agri-food products to secure a stable foothold in the Mongolian market and lay the foundation for sustainable export growth.”
“Moving forward, we will continue to actively explore overseas markets with high-quality agri-food products, while strengthening export competitiveness and increasing income for local farmers,” he added.
A representative of the Orgil Group, a leading Mongolian distributor, said Nonsan agri-food products have strong competitiveness in terms of quality and safety. “Through this agreement, we will actively cooperate across the distribution process to help Nonsan agricultural products establish themselves as a trusted brand among Mongolian consumers,” the representative said.

Mongolia Joins the Peace Council Initiated by President Donald Trump www.montsame.mn

Mongolia has officially joined the Peace Council initiated by President of the United States Donald Trump, becoming a founding member of the Council.
Prime Minister Zandanshatar Gombojav signed the Charter of the Peace Council on January 22, 2026, on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum held in Davos, Switzerland.
As a responsible, peace-supporting nation on the international stage, Mongolia’s endorsement of a new, flexible, and results-oriented peace mechanism represents a significant step toward strengthening the country’s international standing and amplifying its voice globally. It also marks an important advancement in safeguarding and reinforcing Mongolia’s security and independence through political and diplomatic means within the framework of international law.
Mongolia has extensive experience in actively participating in international peacekeeping and peace-support operations. The Charter of the Peace Council does not establish a militarized alliance; rather, it is based on voluntary cooperation and respect for the sovereignty of states. These principles are fully aligned with Mongolia’s peace-loving, independent, and multi-pillared foreign policy.
The provision in the Charter referring to a USD 1 billion threshold relates to a special clause concerning the extension of membership for an additional three-year period. This requirement does not automatically apply to Mongolia, nor does it constitute an obligation or impose practical pressure. Mongolia is not required to assume any financial commitments and, as a regular member, may participate for a three-year term on a voluntary basis, in forms consistent with its capacities and interests.
To date, leaders and senior officials from 17 countries have signed the Charter and joined the Peace Council, including President of Argentina Javier Milei, Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan, President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, Prime Minister of Hungary Viktor Orban, Prime Minister of Pakistan Shehbaz Sharif, Prime Minister of Qatar Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Saudi Arabia Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Türkiye Hakan Fidan.

Davos 2026: Trump signed his Gaza ‘Board of Peace’ into being. Here’s who’s on it — and who isn’t www.cnbc.com

U.S. President Donald Trump was surrounded by world leaders as he declared the war in Gaza was “really coming to an end” at a signing ceremony for his “Board of Peace” for the territory.
But many countries are not represented, and Trump singled out Spain for criticism on its defense spending from the podium, saying “They want a free ride.”
The United Arab Emirates, Hungary and Pakistan were represented at the ceremony at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Thursday. The board is intended to oversee the reconstruction of Gaza.
This is who is on the board and participated in the signing event.
Isa bin Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, minister of the prime minister’s court, Bahrain
Nasser Bourita, minister of foreign affairs, Morocco
Javier Milei, president, Argentina
Nikol Pashinyan, prime minister, Armenia
Ilham Aliyev, President, Azerbaijan
Rosen Zhelyazkov, prime minister, Bulgaria
Viktor Orban, prime minister, Hungary 
Prabowo Subianto, president, Indonesia
Ayman Al Safadi, minister of foreign affairs, Jordan
Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, president, Kazakhstan
Vjosa Osmani-Sadriu, president, Kosovo
Mian Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif, prime minister, Pakistan
Santiago Peña, president, Paraguay
Mohammed Bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, president, Qatar
Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, minister of foreign affairs, Saudi Arabia
Hakan Fidan, minister of foreign affairs, Turkey
Khaldoon Khalifa Al Mubarak, special envoy to the U.S. for the UAE
Shavkat Mirziyoyev, president, Uzbekistan
Gombojavyn Zandanshatar, prime minister, Mongolia
A long list of countries, including Canada, France, Germany, Italy and other European nations, were absent from the signing, and some have specifically rejected the invitation.
UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper told the BBC on Thursday that it “won’t be one of the signatories today,” citing concerns over Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invitation to join.
Spain did not send a representative to the signing, with an invitation for Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez to join “under review,” according to Spanish media.
Putin received an invitation to join Trump’s peace group on Monday and was “studying all the details of this proposal,” Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, but no representative was present at the signing event on Thursday.
In an interview with CNBC on Wednesday, U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff said the U.S. administration would meet Putin about joining the Board of Peace. “We have to go meet him on Thursday. But it’s the Russians who are asking for that meeting,” Witkoff said.
France reportedly turned the invitation down to join the board, as did Germany, per a Spiegel report citing a Foreign Ministry document. “We need more time,” Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni told state broadcaster RAI on Wednesday. “There is work that needs to be done. However, my position certainly remains one of openness,” she said, according to a Reuters report.
Belgium has not signed up either, its foreign minister, Maxime Prevot, said in a statement posted on X Thursday. “We wish for a common and coordinated European response. As many European countries, we have reservations to the proposal,” she said.
Sweden, Slovenia and Norway also turned the invitation down, according to local news reports.
The Board of Peace was endorsed by the United Nations Security Council in November last year. It was originally established to oversee the rebuilding of Gaza, but now has a far broader mandate, including promoting global stability and conflict resolution around the world.
Israel was not represented at the signing event, but its Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will join, according to reports.
When asked about the board of peace on Wednesday, Mohammed Mustafa, the Prime Minister of the Palestinian National Authority, said: “We want to work with the Board of Peace, with the executive board and with the committee, to ensure that they do their part of things.”
“But we also want to see our government institutions to continue to … prepare for a reconstruction effort,” he said during a WEF event at Davos.
Last week the White House confirmed a founding “Executive Board,” to “operationalize the Board of Peace’s vision.”
These are the members of the Executive Board.
Marco Rubio, U.S. Secretary of State
Steve Witkoff, U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East
Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law
Sir Tony Blair, former U.K. prime minister
Marc Rowan, CEO, Apollo
Ajay Banga, World Bank president
Robert Gabriel, security advisor

Tuul Water Complex Project to Enable Storage of 50 Mln Cubic Meters of Water www.montsame.mn

The Capital City Governor’s Office is planning to implement the Tuul Water Complex Project to collect rainfall and surface water.
An appropriate location for the complex has been selected in the upper reaches of the Tuul River at an elevation of 1,352 meters above sea level. According to the Capital City Governor’s Office, the site is close to the capital city, which will shorten the length of water transmission pipelines and reduce investment costs. In addition, the project will not affect protected forest areas or wildlife habitats. Engineering and geological studies have determined that the dam axis will be positioned perpendicular to the river flow, creating favorable natural conditions for self-cleaning by reducing sediment accumulation.
To cover a total area of 5,569 square meters, the water complex will feature integrated infrastructure,  including a reservoir, water transmission networks, and water treatment facilities. The reservoir dam will be 685.15 meters long and 35.8 meters high, with a maximum water depth of 19.84 meters. Exposed natural rock formations on the eastern bank and solid bedrock on the western bank are expected to provide favorable geological conditions, ensuring the structure’s stability and durability.
Once commissioned, the Tuul Water Complex will supply 50 million cubic meters of water annually for the capital’s needs and will also be able to store an additional 50 million cubic meters of water during periods of heavy rainfall. This will ensure a reliable water supply for the city’s growing population, help protect the Tuul River ecosystem, and support river flow during drought years, making the project strategically important.
Currently, Ulaanbaatar’s drinking water supply relies solely on deep groundwater sources, which carry the risk of depleting reserves. Experts have also warned that allowing rainwater to run off without storage contributes to water resource losses and increases flood risks.

Securities worth 8.8 trillion MNT traded over 35 years www.ubpost.mn

A bell-ringing ceremony was held on January 19 at the Mongolian Stock Exchange (MSE) hall to mark the 35th anniversary of the establishment and development of the Exchange and the country’s capital market.
According to statistical data presented at the ceremony, securities worth a total of 8.8 trillion MNT have been traded over the past 35 years, including five trillion MNT in the primary market and 3.3 trillion MNT in the secondary market.
Opening the ceremony, Acting CEO of MSE D.Munkhbat congratulated Government representatives, senior experts and colleagues on the 35th anniversary of the exchange. He recalled that in line with Mongolia’s transition from a centrally planned economy to a market economy, the Government adopted Resolution No. 22 on January 18, 1991, establishing the Exchange to initiate state property privatization and develop the securities market.
He noted that under the Government’s privatization policy, 475 state-owned enterprises were transformed into joint-stock companies, and 96.1 million shares worth a total of 8.2 billion MNT were distributed to citizens through the MSE in the form of investment certificates. As a result, about 52 percent of Mongolia’s population, or 1.2 million people, became shareholders at that time. Primary securities trading officially began on February 7, 1992.
D.Munkhbat highlighted key milestones in the development of the capital market, including the first government bond trading in 1996, the calculation of the TOP-75 index in 1999, the launch of corporate bond trading in 2001, and the first initial public offering in 2005 by Mongol Shiltgeen LLC. In 2012, the capital market infrastructure was aligned with international standards through the introduction of the Millennium IT integrated trading, clearing, settlement, surveillance and depository system. That same year, Mongolia was placed on the FTSE “Emerging Market” watch list.
Further progress followed with the adoption of the revised Securities Market Law and the Investment Fund Law in 2013, the start of public privatization of state-owned assets through the stock exchange in 2016, and Mongolia’s inclusion in the FTSE Russell “Frontier Market” category in 2022. In the same year, the MSE became a public joint-stock company by offering 34 percent of its shares to the public. In recent years, notable achievements included the IPOs of systemically important banks in 2023, obtaining a license to operate the Mining Products Exchange, and the successful trading of local government bonds for the first time in 2024.
Speaking at the event, Head of the Securities Department of the Financial Regulatory Commission B.Dulguun congratulated market participants on the anniversary and emphasized that over the past 35 years, regulators and market professionals have worked closely together to build a securities market that meets international standards. He noted that the next decades of development will focus on strengthening cooperation among regulatory bodies, market infrastructure institutions, and intermediary organizations to transform Mongolia’s capital market into a regionally and internationally competitive one.
