Want information about what’s happening in Mongolia? Want to find out where to go during your trip? Or, perhaps, the service wasn’t up to scratch and you want to complain? The Mongolian tourism authorities are keen to do everything to help to make the country an even better destination for international travellers, for which reason, a hotline service that will provide tourist information and help in emergencies has been launched. The new hotline with the number of (+976) 70108687 will provide information on popular destinations and ongoing events across the country. Tourists can call the number to ask for help and instructions when dealing with security issues or to complain about tourism services.

Tourism has always been important in Mongolia, but now even more so as the country takes firmer steps to diversify its mining-dependent economy. As a result, 2018 was declared as ‘Year of Tourism’.

In the first quarter of 2018, the country saw 705,000 foreign tourists, up 11 percent from the same period last year, according to the National Statistical Office of Mongolia.
