“The eQonaq system
performs several important functions, including controlling and analyzing the
influx of tourists arriving in Kazakhstan, establishing a registry of places of
accommodation, and more. The main objective is to improve transparency and the
quality of services offered to tourists, while also enhancing control over
compliance with Kazakhstan’s immigration legislation. Overall, the system has
registered 3,214 business entities offering accommodation services,” said
Nurtas Bailarov, spokesperson for the Kazakh Ministry of Culture and Sports.
