Mongolia receives highest number of foreign tourists since the beginning of 2025

Mongolia received the highest number of foreign tourists since the beginning of this year, with a total of 810,389 visitors, according to official data released by the Mongolian Tourism Organization on Thursday.

During the period, China has remained the leading source of foreign tourists to Mongolia.

Currently, Mongolia's economy relies most heavily on the export of mineral resources. Tourism promotion is considered one of the priorities for diversifying the country's economy and increasing the competitiveness of its tourism in the context of global competition.

According to the country's Ministry of Culture, Sport, Tourism and Youth, the Mongolian government has decided to continue the "Years to Visit Mongolia" tourism program until 2028 to promote the development of four-season tourism in the country.

It is expected that by 2028, Mongolia plans to receive a total of 2 million foreign tourists as part of its policy to support the tourism sector under the official motto "Go Mongolia."
