The 15th Asia Tourism Forum (ATF 2026) will be held at the Great Hall of Ulaanbaatar Hotel in Ulaanbaatar city, a capital city of Mongolia between 11-13^th of June, 2026.

Mongolia is a vast, landlocked country in East and Central Asia, bordered by Russia to the north and China to the south, east, and west. Covering approximately 1.56 million square kilometers, it is the world's 18th largest country by area but also the most sparsely populated sovereign state, with a population of about 3.5 million people.

The country’s landscape is dominated by expansive grassy steppes, semi-deserts, and the Gobi Desert to the south, with mountain ranges in the north and west, including the Mongolian Altai Mountains. Mongolia sits on a high plateau averaging about 1,580 meters (5,180 feet) above sea level, giving it a harsh continental climate characterized by long, cold winters and short, warm summers.

Today, Mongolia is a parliamentary republic with a president and a government elected by the people. Its economy is rapidly growing, driven largely by vast untapped mineral resources. The country maintains rich cultural traditions rooted in Buddhism, nomadic heritage, and a strong sense of national pride.

Ethnically, Mongols make up about 95% of the population, with Kazakhs and other minorities comprising the rest. Mongolian is the official language, spoken by the majority, while English is increasingly popular as a second language.

Ulaanbaatar, the capital and largest city, is home to nearly half of the population and serves as the political, cultural, and economic center. Ulaanbaatar, also known as Ulan Bator, is the capital and largest city of Mongolia, situated at an elevation of approximately 1,350 meters (4,430 feet) on the Tuul River in the northeast of the Mongolian plateau. It is home to about 1.6 million people, which accounts for nearly half of Mongolia’s total population, making it the country’s political, economic, and cultural center.

The city has a unique character shaped by its history and geography. Originally founded in 1639 as a nomadic Buddhist monastic center, Ulaanbaatar moved locations 29 times before settling permanently at its current site in 1778. Here are the top sites you can visit during your stay.

The Chinggis Khaan National Museum, Sukhbaatar Square, and the Parliament House, the World’s largest cashmere shop – Gobi Cashmere Store, the venue offers participants unparalleled access to the city's rich cultural and historical sites. Beyond the conference sessions, attendees will have the opportunity to explore nearby attractions including the National Museum of Mongolia, the Mongolian State Academic Theatre of Opera and Ballet, and the Gandantegchinlen Monastery, one of the city's most significant Buddhist centers. For those interested in panoramic views, the Zaisan Memorial provides a breathtaking overlook of Ulaanbaatar. In addition, the venue’s central location makes it effortless to explore nearby restaurants, shops, and historic landmarks, offering both professional excellence and enriching local experiences.
