Kazakhstan is becoming increasingly popular among those who
enjoy open spaces and slow-paced tourism. Forbes Italia has included the
country in its list of trending destinations for 2025. The article highlights
the direct flight between Astana and Milan, which fosters tourist traffic and
enhances logistics between the two countries. The diversity of local cuisine is
also noted as a significant advantage. Earlier, Lonely Planet, the world’s
leading travel guide publisher, named Kazakhstan one of the best travel
destinations this year, while Almaty was featured in CNN Travel’s list of the
most attractive places to visit.
«I believe that this inclusion in the list is well-deserved.
Earlier, Euronews, in outlining its trends for 2025, noted the growing demand
for slow tourism. The publication also highlighted another promising trend—astrotourism.
In line with these trends, Kazakh Tourism will focus on developing these areas.
We are also working on expanding railway routes. Recently, we launched a route
between Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, and similar projects are being developed for
other regions,» said Daniyel Serzhanuly, Deputy Chairman of the Kazakh Tourism
National Company.
Meanwhile, it has been revealed which regions of Kazakhstan
are most attractive to foreign tourists. Kazakh Tourism analyzed data from over
525,000 accommodation establishments processed through the «eQonaq» information
system. The study shows that Almaty remains the top destination for foreign
tourists, with the city welcoming more than 534,000 visitors last year. Astana
ranks second, hosting half as many travelers as Almaty. The Almaty Region comes
in third, with a 60% increase in the number of foreign tourists.
