As of today, Mongolia has total road network size of both paved and unpaved with length 49 350 km , and 4 690 km of roads are paved.
Thus, the country is paying big attention to improving the auto-road network as a priority. The government of Mongolia has set the goal to construct 5 572 km of roads in frames of the “New great construction” middle-term programme. For the time being, the cabinet intends to build about 3 700 km of roads, of which over 1 800 km of roads will be constructed this year with capital from the state budget and foreign investments. In addition, 2 970 km of roads will be built on a concession basis.
Within this work, the cabinet is focusing on developing roads for the tourism sector. For instance, a paved-road in a route Khovsgol-Khatgal-Khankh going to Khovsgol Lake will be put into use this year. Moreover, a project is being formulated for an auto-road from Khankh to the state border. Construction works have been launched for roads to run Khujirt, Ulaantsutgalan waterfall, Tovkhon monastery and other natural beautiful landscapes.
In 2015 Mongolia will take part in the ITB Berlin international exhibition as an official partner. This is a big chance to forward its tourism policy for Mongolia that has many natural beautiful places.
