The “Gobi Mirage” tourist camp was established in 2005 by a local couple who, for over 10 years, had been taking travelers to hidden corners of their mysterious homeland – the Gobi. It has an ideal location that allows easy access to the main attractions of the Gobi and to the local airport, all within an hour’s driving time. First-hand knowledge of travelers’ needs and preferences enabled the couple to turn their camp into an oasis of hospitality and comfort. The camp’s power and energy supply, water and waste treatment, as well as the tour services offered, are conducted in accordance with environmentally and culturally sustainable guidelines. The camp has been recognized as the best tourism organization of 2006, 2008 in South Gobi province, whereas in 2009 it was chosen as the best tourist camp by the Mongolian Tourism Association. The camp has also received numerous other acclaims from the local government as well as the “two flower” quality rating denoting the excellent services delivered to guests.
