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.

  • Mongolia 101 Mongolia
    Res ource Investment Res Cap Capital January 2 4 2011 Res Cap Mongolia 101 Initiating country coverage on one of the last remaining mining frontiers Res ource Investment Res Cap Capital January 24 2011 ResCap Mongolia 101 – One of the Last Remaining Mining Frontiers Mongolia - One of the Key Global Economic and Mining Stories of 2011 Nestled between two political giants - China and Russia, Mongolia is a vastly undeveloped resource rich country on the brink of an economic transformation. Thanks to positive recent political and economic developments, Mongolia is set for spectacular growth which is becoming noticed globally. And backed by its resource rich landscape of world class deposits, Mongolia has been coined the “Saudi Arabia of Coal” with strong parallels to previous natural resource booms around the world. The Mongol Rally Has Literally Just Begun A rally to attract foreign investment, re-develop the stock exchange, re-urbanize much of the population into sustainable housing and reignite a process to unlock much of the country’s wealth in state owned mineral assets, has brought many foreigners rallying into Ulaanbaatar. The potential for discovery of more world class assets such as Oyu Tolgoi has unlocked a wave of financiers and geologists flooding into Mongolia. But quite simply the fascination of the unknown in a country not very well understood but linked with enormous potential has naturally played into human nature and curiosity – root to many visitors arriving in Ulaanbaatar, financiers and tourists alike. Patriotism and History Underpinning Development Modern humans first arrived in Mongolia over 40,000 years ago and battled through waves of liberation, bloodless democratic revolution and one of the harshest climates on earth, now prospering through a young but developing free- market economy.

Pages 11-12 Impact on Visitor numbers and spend ……………………. Pages 12-18 Opportunities …………………………………………………..……. Pages 18-28 Needs …………………………………………………………………….. Pages 29-32 Addendum: Mongolia Case Study ………………………….. Pages 33-41 Scope of Study: This study includes the following 10 CAREC countries: Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Mongolia, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. China’s Xinjiang Uygur and Inner Mongolia autonomous regions are also part of CAREC but China is excluded in all data and analysis compiled as part of this study. Data is not available on specifically these regions of China and to include all of China would distort the overall data. 1 Introduction COVID-19 has had a devastating impact on the aviation industry globally as nearly all air travel came to a halt in late March and April. CAREC was no exception as virtually all scheduled international flights were suspended and several countries also implemented bans on domestic air travel in attempt to contain the spread of COVID-19. All CAREC countries arranged repatriation flights to bring citizens stuck overseas home but this traffic was very limited compared to normal volumes. Domestic markets in CAREC started reopening in May and domestic services in all CAREC countries have now resumed.
