Prime Minister G.Zandanshatar said Mongolia plans to receive one million tourists and generate USD 1 billion in tourism revenue next year as he attended regional meetings in Khuvsgul province ahead of a national leaders’ summit.
The Government secretariat is preparing a joint meeting of provincial and Ulaanbaatar city governors and heads of local administrations for January 15, 2026, at which a results agreement will be signed. On January 5, Prime Minister Zandanshatar took part in an online briefing with government members and more than 300 soum and district leaders; representatives from 21 provinces and the capital also joined.
“The concept of a golden triangle of tourism has emerged,” the prime minister said, describing a development region comprising Khuvsgul, Arkhangai, Selenge and Bulgan. He said the area has strong potential for both agriculture and tourism and can generate significant foreign-exchange earnings. “This year the tourism sector earned USD 700 million; next year we aim to host one million tourists and earn USD 1 billion from tourism,” he said.
To reach these targets, G.Zandanshatar said the government will prioritise infrastructure in Khuvsgul province. Planned and ongoing works include continuing the Khankh-direction road, launching the Shine–Ider route, and building the Khankh–Khatgal road, with the Khankh–Khatgal project to be implemented from the east. He said these investments will support an integrated, environmentally friendly eco-tourism policy around Khuvsgul province.
