Mongolia is a vast country of mountains, lakes, deserts and grasslands approximately the size of Alaska. It peacefully abandoned its communist system in 1990 and has been successfully making the transition to a parliamentary democracy. Economic reforms continue, although the country’s development will depend on considerable infrastructure investment, particularly in the mining, energy, transportation, and communication sectors. Travelers to Mongolia should be aware that shortcomings in these areas might have an impact on travel plans. Read the Department of State Background Notes on Mongolia for additional information.
