ULAN BATOR, April 4 (Xinhua) -- Mongolia received 100,170 foreign tourists in the first quarter of this year, the country's Ministry of Environment and Tourism said Thursday.

Currently, Mongolia's economy primarily depends on its export-oriented mining sector. The government has been taking measures to promote tourism, which is seen as a viable way to diversify its economy.

The Asian country has declared 2023-2025 as "Years to Visit Mongolia," targeting at least 1 million foreign tourists per year.

Last year, Mongolia received over 650,000 foreign tourists and earned 1.2 billion U.S. dollars from the tourism sector, hitting an all-time high. Enditem
