Digital solutions for tourism sector being implemented in Mangystau region

Last year, over 70,000 foreign tourists visited the Mangystau region, according to data from the eQonaq system, with more than 100 accommodation options registered. Various events are being held to enhance the region’s tourism potential. To promote the region, the visit.mangystau.kz website has been launched, providing essential travel information and details about local attractions. Plans are in place to integrate the site with the 2GIS digital reference map. Additionally, more than 100 historical and cultural sites in the Mangystau region are set to be included in this electronic system. An interactive map of the region’s sacred sites has also been developed in three languages.

«According to official statistics, we have seen a positive trend each year. Compared to the previous year, there has been an 18.1% increase. Over the past four years, our growth has averaged around 30% annually. Therefore, I believe the work is being carried out in the right direction. In terms of digitalization, significant efforts are underway, with a primary focus on the eQonaq system,» noted Yersin Ibrashev, head of the Tourism Department of the Mangystau region.
