If you have heard of the saying ‘you will be sent to outer Mongolia if you
behave badly’, you are almost right about Mongolia until 1990. It was
probably the place for such punishment with its communist regime and closeness
to outside world other than former soviet-union countries. Going to Mongolia as
a tourist was nearly impossible for westerners considering that there was only
one Tourist Company in Mongolia owned by the state and brought and handled about
2000 tourists mostly ‘communist tourists
from former soviet countries and only 17% or about 375 tourists from Germany,
UK, US, China and Japan. At that time, infrastructure
for tourism industry was not more than tour company and two 3 star hotels in
the capital city Ulaanbaatar.
It was the ideology of communism
that had bound Mongolia hiding its long history, beautiful wildlife nature,
rich nomadic culture and its hospitable people that were not scary to the badly
behaved children. The world did not know what great place it was until the
democratic revolution hit in 1992. With hunger for new world, Mongolia opened
its arms to foreign tourists allowing them to see true Mongolia. The one
tourist company was privatized and opportunities for common people to start
private business became real. Tourism started being developed into a promising
sector by 1995 with more hotels built and more air planes landing in Mongolia.
In 1995, the Government started
putting more attention to the tourism sector as a result of the World Bank and
Japanese International Cooperation Agency’s comprehensive study that was to
determine new industries that would bring Mongolia most promising profit in the
near future in order to help overcome the transition period into free market
economy. The study analyzed tourism industry to be the number one new sector
among most promising sectors in Mongolia.
The world is now retelling
Mongolia’s history and discovery of its rich tradition with extraordinary
culture and astonishing nature now has become the desire of thousands of
tourists to see today’s nomads inhabited from ancient ruling of Genghis Khan’s time.
Today annually the number of tourists came to Mongolia has
reached merely 200,000 while International
tourist arrivals reached 1,138 million in
the world. So if you are the person likes to go to off the beaten tour
