Kazakhstan’s
tourism sector is on the rise. During the first half of 2023 alone, the
country’s hotels generated approximately 99 billion tenge in revenue, marking a
45 percent increase compared to the same period in 2022. Last year, the
country’s accommodation establishments hosted tourists, totaling about 68
billion tenge in revenue. This represents a nearly twofold growth compared to
the pre-pandemic level.
“In the first six
months of this year, the number of domestic tourists who used accommodation
services reached 3.1 million people. This is 400,000 more people than in the
same period in 2022, and one million more people than the pre-pandemic level,” said
Akmaral Menlibek, spokesperson for the Kazakh Ministry of Tourism and Sports.
Regarding foreign
tourists, during the first half of the year, over half a million international
travelers stayed in the hotels and recreation areas of the country. This is
nearly twice the figure from last year.
