Mongolian Tourism Department (Group 4)<br />

Group Members: _________________________________________________________________<br />

As part of <strong>the</strong> Mongolian Tourism Department,<br />

you want tourists to leave with a very<br />

good impression of your country. You want<br />

people to appreciate Mongolia’s culture, history,<br />

national symbols, geography, and environmental<br />

resources. Specifically, you want people to<br />

leave with a positive perception of how beautiful<br />

<strong>the</strong> wilderness is, how peaceful and friendly <strong>the</strong><br />

nomadic peoples are, and how rich <strong>the</strong> history is.<br />

You believe painting a picture of Mongolia in this<br />

manner will attract a lot of visitors, which brings<br />

money to your country. Therefore, it is in your<br />

interest to make sure nature and people live in<br />

harmony. You would like to have permission to put<br />

a tourist lodge in <strong>the</strong> protected area so that people<br />

can enjoy nature up close. You think this lodge<br />

will benefit your business and <strong>the</strong> country. You do<br />

not want <strong>the</strong> tourists to see domestic sheep and<br />
