| Summary: | This report, Strengthening Management of
Natural and Cultural Heritage Assets to Scale-up Tourism and
Stimulate Local Economic Opportunity was prepared in March
2011. The principal objective of the assignment is to
provide policy guidance to decision-makers for strengthening
the management of NCS and building a sustainable tourism
industry in Mongolia that enhances economic opportunity,
especially for local communities.There are several
constraints to faster growth of the tourism sector,
including: (i) a harsh climate and short tourist season,
which is concentrated in the months of June, July and
August; (ii) poor quality of infrastructure; (iii) limited
international air access to Mongolia; (iv) poor service
quality, which is driven by a lack of industry-led
guidelines that promote quality standards, and low awareness
on what quality and appropriate service culture is; and (v)
limited capacity and lack of experienced tourism workforce. |
