Mongolia to hold ice festival to revive pandemic-hit tourism sector www.xinhuanet.com
Mongolia is planning to hold an annual ice festival in March to revive the country's pandemic-battered tourism sector, organizers said on Monday.
The annual festival called "Blue Pearl" was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021, and the 21st edition of the festival will be held from March 2-5 in the northernmost province of Khuvsgul under the auspices of the country's Ministry of Environment and Tourism, according to a statement by the provincial governor's office.
The festival will include many activities such as ice knuckle-bone shooting contest, bicycle and ice skate races, moto sports performance, sled dog race, tug of war, relay race, family contests and horse races.
Currently, Mongolia's economy is largely dependent on its export-oriented mining sector. Developing tourism is seen as the most viable way to diversify the economy.
However, the country's tourism sector as a whole has stagnated over the past two years due to the pandemic.
