Mongolia is debating extending its annual Naadam Festival holiday, traditionally held July 10-15, to create a ten-day break. This year, the key festival days fall on a weekend (July 11-12), prompting discussion about shifting the holiday to the following week – July 16-17 – to maximize consecutive days off. A previous proposal to do so was withdrawn from parliament, leaving the duration of the holiday uncertain. The government must now decide whether to adhere to the existing July 10-15 schedule or issue a decree extending the break. The decision impacts travel plans for many Mongolians who traditionally visit their hometowns during these celebrations. A prompt resolution is needed to allow citizens to arrange work and travel accordingly, as domestic travel surges during both the Lunar New Year and Naadam festivals. The potential extended holiday would run from July 10-19.
