To date, the Kazakh Ministry of Culture and Sports has
already approved about 30 applications for partial reimbursement of costs
totaling 480 million tenge within the framework of state support for Kazakh entrepreneurs
working in the tourism sector. It is worth mentioning that seven new measures
of state support for tourism business people, including partial payments for
certain costs, have come into force in Kazakhstan since 2022. Thus,
reimbursement in the amount of 10 percent is provided for the construction and renovation
of tourist facilities as well as for the construction of roadside hotels, gas
stations, or cafes. Compensation of a quarter of costs is offered for the
purchase of tourist buses and equipment for ski resorts. It bears noting that
the number of tourism entrepreneurs wishing to receive state support has been
growing during the implementation of the reimbursement program, according to
the ministry.
