Mention Mongolia and it evokes romantic visions of another era. Far removed from the 21st century, one imagines a sprawling empire where natives traverse the lands on horseback, clad in animal skins. Mongolia is, after all, probably best known by its great grandfather, the famous adventurer and warrior Gengis Khaan.

Located between two of the global economic superpowers of the future, Russia and China, Mongolia is the second largest landlocked and least densely populated independent country in the world. Home to a striking terrain of mountains, lakes, deserts and grasslands, the country also enjoys a vibrant capital city. It is a commodity rich country abundant in natural resources, minerals and ores including coal, molybdenum, tin tungsten and gold as well as the largest copper deposit in Asia. In recent years therefore, Mongolia has seen many high profile mining companies such as BHP, Ivanhoe and Rio Tinto, relocate operations to its capital in order to take advantage of the untapped resources.

Today then, Mongolia is a country full of excitement, hope and energy whose economy is buzzing and whose tourism industry is going from strength to strength.
