The “ger” in “Ger and Nature” refers to the traditional circular tent dwellings used by nomadic herders in Mongolia, and which would be used to offer hospitality to both domestic and international tourists. This report presents an assessment of green jobs potential in Mongolia and an analysis of existing policy settings for supporting green jobs, using Ger and Nature tourism as a focal point.
