China remains a priority
tourism market for Kazakhstan. According to statistics, over 120,000 Chinese
travelers have visited the country since the beginning of the year, marking a
64% increase compared to the same period in 2023. The significant growth in
tourist numbers can be attributed to a mutual visa-free regime and an increase
in flights between the nations. This is not the limit; Kazakhstan aims to
attract even more tourists. At an international specialized exhibition in
Beijing, 20 Kazakh companies showcased new tourist routes, drawing significant
attention, similar to last year. The event hosted nearly 100 foreign tourism representatives
from over 20 countries, facilitating B2B meetings and discussions on industry
development.
«More than 10
agreements were concluded in the first days following the presentation of the
tourism potential of Astana and Almaty at the international exhibition in
Beijing. This indicates that travelers will flock to these cities,» said Daniel
Serzhanuly, Deputy Chairman of the Kazakh Tourism National Company.
