Development of tourism in Kazakhstan!

History of tourism in Kazakhstan has its roots in organized travel through Kazakhstan along the Silk Road and dates back to approximately the 3rd millennium BC. We have received some information about travelers who visited the territory modern Kazakhstan, among them the Chinese travelers Chang-Chun, Shi-Fa-Xian, Tan-De. The very first tourist sites on the territory of Kazakhstan were created by order of Timur in 1399 - the mausoleum over the grave of Ahmed Yassawi. The history of tourism in Kazakhstan, during the Soviet period, left us with the names of travelers from Kazakhstan who traveled around the world on foot, among them a native of the Kostanay region, Alibi Dzhangildin. It is interesting that the first travel company in Kazakhstan was the Russian Mining Society, which was organized at the beginning of the twentieth century in the city of Verny. An interesting fact from the history of tourism in Kazakhstan is that the first officially registered tourist trip was organized in 1929 from the city of Verny along the Trans-Ili Alatau to Lake Issyk, its participants were 17 teachers from the city of Almaty.

And only recently the tourism industry in Kazakhstan began to actively develop. In a fairly short period of time, Kazakhstan has become one of the leading countries in Central Asia in the field of tourism. Interest in Kazakhstan as a tourist destination has increased throughout the world. The range of tourism services increases every year. The tourism industry is recognized by the state as one of the priority sectors of the economy and is actively supported by it. Main goal tourism development in Kazakhstan is the creation of highly effective and competitive tourism in the world market. Today, the tourism industry faces the following tasks: creating the image of Kazakhstan for the country’s popularity in the international tourism world; promoting a healthy lifestyle for citizens of Kazakhstan; familiarizing foreign citizens with the history and culture of Kazakhstan; attracting foreign capital to the country for the development of tourism in Kazakhstan. In Kazakhstan, many first-class hotels have recently been built, in terms of comfort and service, not inferior to world-famous hotels. For the development of tourism, Kazakhstan has everything that travelers from all over the world like.

On the territory of Kazakhstan there are a considerable number of cultural, historical, architectural monuments of ancient and modern times, as well as a sufficient number of natural attractions that are of interest to tourists. Picturesque places in Kazakhstan for tourism Thousands of tourists from abroad visit every year. The amazing beauty of lakes, fantastic landscapes, nature reserves, forests, endless steppes, enchanting mountains and much, much more - all this is Kazakhstan. It is interesting to note that many foreign guests have become interested in medical tourism in Kazakhstan. Today medical tourism in Kazakhstan great attention is paid, since this is one of the important items of income of the republican budget. I would especially like to note that the services of dental clinics in Kazakhstan are significantly lower than in the USA, Russia, Germany and other EU countries, and the level of service is European. In the picturesque regions of Altai, modern resort and health complexes are being created that specialize in providing medical services. To achieve international standards in the field of medical tourism in Kazakhstan, a two-party memorandum of cooperation was signed between National Medical Holding JSC (Kazakhstan) and Parkway Hospitals Healthcare Group (Singapore).

Within the framework of this program, it is envisaged to provide employees of their clinics with the opportunity to undergo internships and improve their medical qualifications in the system of continuing medical education.
