Work on the development of
tourist infrastructure in Kazakhstan continues. For instance, a road is being
built in the Imantau-Shalkar resort area, while access road reconstruction
going on to popular Lake Zhasybai. Coastal work is underway on Lake Alakol in
the Abai region, whereas Bertys Bay in the city of Balkhash is being improved. A
total of 83 tourism development projects are currently being implemented in the
country.
“The work is intended to increase
the country’s investment attractiveness and improve our tourist infrastructure.
The cities’ and regions’ administrations are getting appropriate competence to address
the existing problems of infrastructure development outside the villages and in
the territory of national parks,” noted Akmaral Menlibek, spokesperson for the
Kazakh Ministry of Culture and Sports.
28 large infrastructure projects
were completed in the country last year. Among them is the construction of
engineering communications in the Balkhash resort area and the road to the city
of Aktau. The launch of airports in Usharal and Urzhar was a remarkable
occasion, as the potential of air transportation was significantly expanded.
