Mongolian golf tournament comes to Delhi
December 11th, 2009 - 5:36 pm ICT by IANS ( Leave a comment )New Delhi, Dec 11 (IANS) Named after the legendary Mongol warrior, the Grand Chinggis Khaan Golf Cup will get underway here Saturday as part of Mongolia’s efforts to attract Indian tourists by promoting its history and culture.
“For the first time, we are organising the Grand Chinggis Khaan Golf Cup tournament outside Mongolia in Delhi this Dec 12-13,” Mongolian Ambassador Voroshilov Enkhbold told IANS.
“I have seen that Indians are an ardent community of golf lovers, with a number of beautiful golf courses. So I hope that through this tournament we can reach across to them and promote our country’s history and culture.”
“Among others, Lt. Governor of Delhi Tejendra Khanna will participate in the tournament. While this will be an annual affair, we are also working on an Indo-Mongolian golf tournament which will be held in both the countries alternately and promote Mongolia in India,” he added.
He said the number of Indians travelling to Mongolia was still low and a number of promotional activities like cultural programmes - and now even the golf tournament - are being planned to boost the numbers.
