/MONTSAME/. The
Government of Mongolia declared 2023 and 2024 as "Years to Visit
Mongolia" to promote the tourism sector. Under this National Campaign, all
aimags have been hosting their special local tourism events since the beginning
of this year.
Dundgobi
aimag is striving to create its own tourism brands, identifying the aimag’s
strongest and most competitively appealing assets in the eyes of its
prospective visitors. Thus, the aimag organized Tourism Forum last year and
determined their policy and goals to support the tourism sector. To that
extent, they have established a Tourist Information center to provide tourists
with information on the aimag's attractions, lodgings, maps, and other items
relevant to tourism and a “Made in Dundgobi” shop where visitors can buy local
products. In addition, a mobile application for visitors is under development.
Here,
we are featuring two major events scheduled for this Summer and Autumn in
Dundgobi aimag.
One
of the high-rated and most-awaited events in the great Gobi is the “CELESTIAL
EUNOIA” Cultural Stargazing Event in Dornogobi. This exclusive ecotourism event
aims at delivering visitors authentic cultural experiences, ranging from
stargazing, to capturing the essence of the sunrises on the White Stupa cliff
and visiting the museums and galleries of historical and cultural artifacts.
Last year, visitors had a chance to witness the rare alignment of five planets
Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. The “Celestial EUNOIA-2023” is
scheduled on June 24-25 in Gobi Caravanserai Lodge this year.
“The Sun Over the Placid World” music festival
has been organized in Dundgobi aimag since 2019. Around 3000 horsehead fiddle
players and long song singers, and over 10 thousand visitors gathered and
appreciated the pristine wilderness and iconic natural formations of the great
Gobi Desert and different forms of arts during the festival in 2019. This year,
the festival is scheduled between August 10 and 11.
