Interactive portals are available through a dynamic landing page which will direct web visitors through a ‘journey’ based on their status, needs, and interests.

Not only does it showcase Mongolia at the heart of Northeast Asia, but by profiling a multitude of experiences also shows how we can collaborate with our local businesses and communities to provide the best and most inclusive information possible to travelers,” explained Mongolia Minister of Environment and Tourism H.E. Namsrai Tserenbat.
The Mongolia platform’s visitors will then be able to click on various texts and pictures, shaping a unique itinerary through featured experiences, aggregated social media content, stories, and main centers of interest.
