The number of ecotourists in Kazakhstan is on the rise. Last
year alone, their number increased by 40%, reaching nearly three million
people. According to the relevant ministry, the natural attractions of the
Almaty region are the most popular among travelers. These include the
Ile-Alatau National Park, Sharyn, Altyn-Emel, and the Kolsai Lakes. There are a
total of 14 national parks in the country, where infrastructure development is
actively underway. Visitor centers, campsites, glamping sites, and other
facilities are being built. In recent years, eight modern visitor centers have
been constructed. They provide visitors with information about the natural
ecosystem, wild animal habitats, recommended routes, and rules for staying in specially
protected areas.
