Tourism Development in Kazakhstan – Issues and Ways Forward
Abstract
This article intends to contribute to the growing debate related to tourism in Kazakhstan and to understand future perspectives on tourism development in this country. The aim of the article, which is a desktop research based on previous literature and documents, is to propose a way forward for tourism development in Kazakhstan. Two models will be presented in the article, the first one – proposing the types of tourism development approaches, which the country can focus on, and the second model – illustrating more in details the tourism development working framework. Although these models should certainly not be considered final, they aim at providing a consistent guiding input on future tourism development in Kazakhstan.
