The major potentials of Mongolia for a successful international tourism development lay in the beauty of its unspoiled landscape as well as its cultural heritage, in particular by today’s pastoral

nomad herders’ traditions and life. To experience the authentic nomadic lifestyle is one of the major tourist attractions in Mongolia. More and more herder families who little realize this core value are starting tourism activities in the popular visitor destinations. But there is still a big gap in between service providers in local area, namely local communities, and tourism service buyers, namely holiday makers, who travel in Mongolia for leisure purpose. In order to contribute local initiatives and helping the communities to connect potential customers’ market, we established a comprehensive network of Community based tourism.
