Mongolia is in the tourism spotlight and making it easier to visit. Reindeer sledding, anyone?

With its reindeer sledding, camel racing and stunning landscapes with room to roam, Mongolia is hoping to woo visitors who are truly looking to get away from it all. Like most countries, its tourism industry was devastated by the COVID-19 pandemic, and it has launched a “Welcome to MonGOlia” campaign to win people back. The government has added flights and streamlined the visa process, offering visa-free visits for many countries. Mongolia’s government aims for 1 million visitors per year to the land of Genghis Khan, which encompassed much of Eurasia in its 13th century heyday.
