A domestic video
showcasing a journey to Kazakhstan won two main prizes at the annual
ART&TUR International Tourism Film Festival in Portugal. This two-minute
video beautifully captures the natural landscapes and historical landmarks of
the country of the Great Steppe. In the video, travel bloggers from Qatar,
Belgium, and Kazakhstan explore Turkistan and the vicinity of Almaty,
encouraging viewers to discover the country from a new perspective.
“The video titled
‘Kazakhstan - Like Never Before’ won in two major categories, namely
Destination - Countries and Advertising Campaign. This is not the first victory
of our country at this festival. In 2021, the award for the best country video
went to ‘Travelstan’, also produced by the Kazakh Tourism National Company, and
last year, the communication project ‘Kazakhstan by Thomas and Lucy Atkinson’
secured the second place,” said Yernur Kenzhebekov, Press Secretary of Kazakh
Tourism National Company.
It is noteworthy
that the winners were selected by an international jury of experts in the
fields of cinema, tourism, marketing and communications. The competition
entries included not only independent travel videos, but also advertising
campaigns, films, animations, web articles, and television programs.
