Tourist arrivals in Mongolia up nearly 540 pct in H1 www.xinhuanet.com
Mongolia welcomed a total of 73,161 foreign tourists in the first half of this year, up 537.6 percent year-on-year, the country's Ministry of Environment and Tourism said Wednesday.
The dramatic increase was attributed to Mongolia's re-opening of its borders to foreign tourists in February, the ministry said.
Russia, South Korea and Kazakhstan were the biggest sources of tourist arrivals for Mongolia in the January-June period, it said.
Among measures to revive its pandemic-hit tourism sector, the Mongolian government on Tuesday made a decision to declare 2023 and 2024 as "Years to Visit Mongolia."
In addition, the government has decided to allow South Korean tourists to visit Mongolia without a visa for up to 90 days until the end of 2024. The visa-free policy took effect on June 1.
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.
The Asian country has set a goal of welcoming one million foreign tourists and earning 1 billion U.S. dollars from tourism in 2024.
