The South Korean Tourist Wave in Mongolia: A Closer Look www.bni.network

Over the past year, Mongolia has seen an impressive surge in the number of tourists hailing from South Korea, with statistics reporting over 68,000 tourists making their way to this East Asian nation. This influx represents a significant shift in travel trends, placing the previously underrated country on the global tourism map. Why is Mongolia proving to be such a draw for South Korean tourists? Keep reading as we delve deeper into this trend.
A Mutual Understanding
South Korean tourists are often drawn to nations where they can experience a connection, steeped in mutual historical understanding. The century-old friendship and cultural commonalities that exist between Mongolia and South Korea, have played a substantial role in attracting South Korean tourists in droves.
Mongolia’s Unique Offerings
Travelers from across the globe are attracted to a nation’s unique offerings, and Mongolia is in no short supply of uniqueness. From its majestic steppes, fascinating nomadic lifestyle and rich history to its performance arts and cuisine, Mongolia offers a variety of experiences that cater to a broad spectrum of tourists’ interests. This, coupled with a sense of comfort derived from shared cultural elements with South Korea, positions Mongolia as an appealing destination for South Korean tourists.
The Role of Facilitated Travel
Another critical factor that contributes to the increase of South Korean tourists in Mongolia has been the facilitation of travel. Both nations have actively collaborated to improve air connectivity, making travel a seamless experience. Currently, several weekly flights operate between the two nations, reducing travel time and making it more convenient for tourists. This convenience is a significant factor driving the increase in numbers.
Benefits to Mongolia’s Economy
The sudden upsurge in tourists from South Korea is a boon for Mongolia’s economy, as it means increased revenue for the tourism industry. Given that the tourism sector plays a vital role in Mongolia’s economy, this growth in visitors is expected to create positive ripple effects across various sectors. It is also predicted to result in increased investments in hospitality, infrastructure, and other related services as the demand amplifies.
Looking Ahead
As the number of South Korean tourists in Mongolia continues to rise, the relationship between the two countries is set to strengthen further, fostering increased understanding and cultural exchange. This symbiotic relationship promises an exciting chapter in the coming era, not just for both nations, but also for the global travel industry. Hence, the rise of Mongolia as a popular tourist hub among South Koreans is more than just an isolated trend; it represents an evolving dynamic in global tourism patterns.

Power of Siberia-2: Construction of Mongolian part may start in early 2024 www.news.mn

Construction of the Mongolian portion of Russia’s planned new Power of Siberia-2 gas pipeline to China may start in the first quarter or first half of 2024, TASS news agency quoted Russian Deputy Prime Minister Viktoria Abramchenko.
Russia wants to increase pipeline gas supplies to China by 50 billion cubic metres (bcm) per year via Power of Siberia-2, while the existing Power of Siberia pipeline is due to provide 38 bcm a year by 2025.
The highly anticipated deal, which opens a new conduit for Russian natural gas supply into northern China, has been on the drawing board for nearly two decades and could become one of the most significant cross border energy deals signed by a Chinese state oil and gas company in recent years.
In 2023, China’s gas consumption is estimated to reach 385 Bcm to 390 Bcm, according to the China Natural Gas Development Report 2023 published by the National Energy Administration.
