While tourism has increased over the last few years, tourists from Motrea remain few.

The majority of the tourists who visit come from Sovien, Mannland and Gapan. Sovien citizens prefer Jindalea as a tourist destination due to the relatively low prices, lack of pollution and the warmer climate. For citizens of Motrea, it is practically impossible to obtain a visa for Jindalea; however, they can still obtain "entry permits" to special tourist areas designated for Motreans, such as Taedorj. Ariban tourists were also subject to visa restrictions, only able to visit during the yearly Jindalea Peace Festival; however, these restrictions were lifted in May 2010.
