Mongolia aims to receive 1 million tourists www.montsame.mn
Ulaanbaatar / MONTSAME/ Sustainable Tourism Project will be implemented in Mongolia with an aim to augment the number of tourists to up to one million a year.
To be co-implemented by the Thailand International Cooperation Agency (TICA), the German Society for International Cooperation and the National Development Institute of Mongolia, the project will continue until 2020.
On September 18, a discussion was held on the project at the National Development Institute of Mongolia (NDIM). The implementation progress is expected to launch in November. According to the project, it aims to attract one million tourists in the next years.
D.Erdenebayar, Chair of NDIM Department of Development Policy and Regulation, pointed out a research will be conducted on working out tourism models for 21 aimags, and will help define specific locations to boost tourism services and routes after making them in right order. Through the project, the tourism will be developed in three directions--travelling, local development and cultural industry, he said.
TICA consultants will work here to share experience and cooperate in the project until 2020. In the first turn, the project will launch in Bayankhongor, Selenge and Uvs aimags.
Paisan Rupanichkij, Deputy Director of the TICA, emphasized that Mongolia is possible to boost the tourism industry thanks to its natural landscapes and the nomadic culture, and it could be realized easily in combination of the well-developed infrastructure of Thailand. "Every country faces a risk to deteriorate environment when they develop tourism. Due to this reason, we focus attention to quality instead of quantity. It means that the project aims to introduce high-standard services," Paisan Rupanichkij underlined.
He also noted that Thailand has well-developed infrastructure so we made it opportunity to improve our tourism service quality. Flourishing tourism shows negative impact on environment. Due to this reason, we shift our attention to quality. It is important to have quality service with value.
Next discussion is expected to be held on September 22. The parties plan to exchange views on the project's implementation process, organizational structure, management, role and duties.
