Mongolian tourism professionals held a press conference, demanding accurate information from relevant ministries amid a crippling fuel shortage. A. Batkhuu, a member of the Tourism Professionals Association, expressed concern that tourists who plan trips months or even years in advance are being met with limited options, essentially receiving only “queue tourism” – waiting in line for fuel. Mongolia is ranked among the top 20 most desirable travel destinations globally and within the top five in Asia, but the current situation threatens its reputation. The industry fears negative word-of-mouth from dissatisfied tourists, crucial for a sector driven by recommendations. They are urging Minister G. Damdinnyama to ensure unrestricted fuel access, arguing it is a solvable problem, and requesting citizens prioritize fuel for tourist vehicles to avoid harming the industry and the nation's image.
