Chinese tourists accounted for 36.4 percent of total foreign tourist arrivals to Mongolia.
“Mongolia has nowadays relied more on China to drive its tourism businesses,” said Urjinkhand Byambasuren, a specialist of Ulan Bator’s tourism department.
The Ministry of Environment and Tourism said that it hopes to attract more Chinese tourists to boost growth in the mining-dependent economy of Mongolia.
Mongolia has set an objective of welcoming 1 million foreign tourists and earning 1 billion U.S. dollars from tourism in 2020.
Mongolia attracted a total of 529,370 foreign tourists in 2018.
