·
Dec 2, 2016
The renowned travel website Lonelyplanet.com, author of the eponymous travel guide, recently unveiled its list of 10 countries to visit in 2017. And we are delighted to find Mongolia ranking 7th!
To justify this 7th place, the Lonely Planet team made a point of highlighting the country's growth in recent years.
In 2017, Mongolia will indeed be equipped with a brand-new state-of-the-art airport that alone illustrates the country's rapid development. The capital Ulaanbaatar is already the primary beneficiary of this remarkable economic boom, with the emergence of numerous glass and steel buildings. The best illustration of this unprecedented growth: the Shangri-La complex, costing $500 million, which will be completed in 2017 and will contain 290 hotel rooms, an IMAX cinema, and a Hard Rock Café.
But it is beyond its capital that Mongolia draws its greatest strengths, through majestic nature and fabulous landscapes composed of verdant steppes, crystalline rivers, snow-capped mountains, and arid deserts... Lonely Planet indeed chooses to highlight Lake Khövsgöl, which has been connected since 2015 by a road accessible from Ulaanbaatar, saving many hours of travel.
