On the back of figures that show a growing tourism sector, officials in Kazakhstan have revealed the steps being taken to regulate and sustain business and ensure its ongoing success.
Domestic tourism reached 10.5 million travellers in 2024, an uptick of nearly a million Tourism Industry Committee data shows. In addition, Kazakhstan welcomed 15.3 million foreign visitors, two thirds of whom stayed in the landlocked central Asian republic for more than 24 hours.
Those foreign visitors spent in excess of $2.6 billion in 2024, with the National Bank reporting an average outlay per tourist from outside the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) between $1,200 and $1,500 per trip, with an average stay of four days.
