Kazakhstan launches inspection of tourist zones

The Kazakh government has launched a nationwide inspection of recreational areas following instructions from the Head of State. Deputy Prime Minister Yermek Kosherbayev visited the Kapсhagay Reservoir in the city of Konayev, one of the country’s most popular holiday destinations, which welcomed over 860,000 visitors in the first half of 2025. The region features 140 tourist facilities, including eight public beaches. During his visit, Kosherbayev inspected the condition of these facilities, as well as the beach and road infrastructure, sanitary conditions, and emergency services preparedness. He instructed the regional administration to complete the construction of the road to the northern beach by this autumn. Kosherbayev also reviewed the tourism infrastructure along the shores of Lake Alakol, with particular attention given to sanitation, landscaping, and public safety. Notably, large-scale reconstruction efforts have begun at Alakol, with more than 650 million tenge allocated from the Abai Region's budget for the project.
