Every time we travel, for whatever reason, we are part of a global movement; a movement that has the power to drive inclusive development, create jobs and build the sustainable societies we want for our future; a movement that builds mutual understanding and can help us safeguard our shared natural and cultural heritage.
This year on the 27th of September, we want you to talk Tourism. It’s a day for us all to celebrate Tourism. World Tourism Day has been celebrated since 1979, and the UNWTO declared the theme for 2015 as "One Billion Tourists, One Billion Opportunities".
Mongolian Tourism Association (MTA) will be organising a series of events for the World Tourism Day 2015 including lectures about sustainable tourism at universities, an academic conference among students and researchers and a press conference to raise awareness of tourism and sustainable development in Mongolia. Moreover, MTA is aiming to procure some of the issues Mongolian tourism industry faces such as domestic flight irregularity, Naadam ticket distribution etc solved by the government, related ministries and local governers’ houses.
MTA is the largest professional association in Mongolian tourism industry with over 100 registered members, and works to defend its’ members welfares and contribute to the sustainable development of Mongolian tourism. About more than half of the MTA members are tour operators. It’s estimated that 60% of incoming tourists to Mongolia, and about 70% of outgoing tourists travel with MTA members. Moreover, MTA issues the tour operator’s permit based on the contract between the Ministry of Nature, Environment, Green Development and Tourism.
