ULAN BATOR, June 3 (Xinhua) -- Mongolia launched a hotline service Sunday for foreign visitors to the country that will provide tourist information and help in emergencies.

According to the country's tourism department, the new hotline with the number of (+976) 70108687 will provide information on popular destinations and ongoing events across the country.
