Page 26 Conclusion: Possible Conditions to Facilitate Success …………. Page 27 Addendum: Embracing New Technology ..………………………….. Page 28 Concept Introduction: Air passes have been used for over three decades by the airline and travel industries to facilitate travel within regions by offering a block of several one-way flights at a discount compared to buying the same flights separately. They are typically sold to tourists from outside the region planning a multi-stop itinerary. By selling a package of flights, often on several airlines, air passes can make travel within a region easier and more affordable, enabling tourists to visit more countries. While their overall track record is mixed, air passes have succeeded in the past at stimulating tourism in several regions, particularly regions that were suffering from high one-way air fares. In recent years one-way air fares have declined significantly in most regions, limiting the appeal of air passes.

  • Origin of the Early Mesozoic Bogd Uul Granite Pluton, Ulaanbaatar Area, Mongolia
    名 古 屋 大 学 博 物 館 報 告 Bull. Nagoya Univ. Museum No. 28, 45–59, 2012 Origin of the Early Mesozoic Bogd Uul granite pluton, Ulaanbaatar area, Mongolia Khishigsuren Sodnom1*), Gerel Ochir1), Chuluun Danzan1), Bat-Ulzii Dash1), Munkhbat Baatar2) 1) School of Geology and Petroleum Engineering, Mongolian University of Science and Technology, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia 2) Zanadu Mines Mongolia, Inc., Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia *-Corresponding author Abstract We present new isotopic age and geochemical data of the Bogd Uul granite pluton occurred in the margin of Khentey uplift, in the Ulaanbaatar area. The Bogd Uul granite pluton consists of slightly peraluminous, high-K, calc-alkaline series biotite and hornblende-biotite granite of A2-type. The Rb-Sr isochron age of the Bogd Uul granite pluton in this study confirm our former determined early Mesozoic age of the single zircon lead evaporation, and U–Pb isotopic analyses using a Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (LA-ICP-MS). The Bogd Uul granite pluton is formed in post-collisional environment, and granitic magma derived from continental crust contaminated with juvenile mantle-derived component due to geochemical analyses and Rb-Sr isotopic data which show the initial 87Sr/86Sr=0.7005-0.7030, εNd(T)=(+0.7)– (+1.4), model ages of 826-1077 Ma. The topological analyses of zircon in the Bogd Uul granite pluton confirm the mixed sources which determined isotopic and geochemical data. Key words: Mongolia, Mesozoic, A2-type granite, Rb-Sr isotope 1. Introduction The Bogd Uul granite pluton occupies the eastern part of the Bogd Uul Mountain in south of the capital city of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia (Fig.1).
