Development of tourism in Almaty and Almaty region

The last five years have been marked by the rapid development of tourism in the Almaty region; over these years, about 200 tourism facilities have been put into operation, the tourist flow has almost tripled and amounted to about 2.5 million people per year, the number of developed tourist routes has also increased significantly.

Lake Alakol

A special place in the tourism cluster is Lake Alakol, which was included in the TOP 10 objects of the State Program for the Development of the Tourism Industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan. A lot speaks about the rapid development of the resort - over the past five years, the number of tourist reception places has increased significantly. Transport accessibility is also improving, the number of railway trains from the cities of Kazakhstan is increasing, and the capacity of airports is increasing. On this website you can find tourist accommodations, train, plane and bus schedules to Lake Alakol. Due to the fact that recreation on the lake is in high demand, rooms in hotels and recreation centers must be booked in advance.

Weekend tours

In addition to Lake Alakol, the Almaty region has something to attract a flow of tourists - the Charyn Canyon, the Burkhan-Bulak waterfall, the Kolsai Lakes, the Issyk Lake and Kaindy, the Turgen and Kairak waterfalls, the Big Almaty Lake, Tamgaly Tas and much more are located here. Basically, excursions to these regions occur on weekends and holidays, and are called “Weekend Tours”. You can view the excursion programs here. Some tourist routes can be done independently, without organizing a tourist group, for example, excursions to the Charyn Canyon or Lake Issyk. And it is better to entrust such routes as a 2-day tour to Kolsai with a visit to Kaindy and the “black canyon” to travel companies.

Holidays for every taste

The Almaty region is one of the most visited regions of Kazakhstan, with all kinds of landscapes concentrated here, from endless steppes to high mountains and wide beach areas. For every tourist there is a vacation according to his needs; mountain skiers, fishermen, and hikers come here, and beach tourists book rooms in Alakol hotels in advance. Much attention is paid to the development of children's, youth and ethno-tourism. Ethnographic recreation centers recreate the atmosphere of bygone times, introduce tourists to the culture, way of life, customs and traditions of nomadic peoples, organize horseback riding, and teach archery.
