Kazakhstan is one of the largest countries in Asia. It is the ninth-largest in the world in terms of land area. It is also the largest landlocked country in the world, meaning the country has no coastline and is completely bordered by the territories of other countries. The country shares borders with China, Russia, and other former members of the USSR namely Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Kyrgyzstan. Even with the large land area, the country does not have a well-developed tourism industry. In fact, tourism only accounts for 0.3% of Kazakhstan’s gross domestic product or GDP, but the Kazakh government plans to increase this to around 3%. There are a lot of influences on the culture of the country, primarily the Silk Road, the USSR, and the nomadic lifestyle. This unique mixture of influences is what makes Kazakhstan so different ethnically and culturally from other countries in its immediate region and from the world. Experience the beauty of Kazakhstan.

The country is the richest of the Central Asian nations because of the large petroleum and gas reserves found in its territory. In 2012, Kazakhstan ranked 51st in terms of the number of tourists arriving in the country. Tourist arrivals grew from 1.47 million in 2000 to 4.81 million in 2012 to 6.5 million in 2016. Even with these figures, the Guardian describes the Kazakh tourism industry as extremely underdeveloped, not properly using the number of potential tourist attractions the country has, and their beauty. Kazakhstan has lake and desert landscapes along with superb mountainscapes but these are hemmed in by what is described as “shabby infrastructure,” poor service and facilities are given to visitors, and the fact that it is very difficult to travel within a huge country with such underdeveloped travel capabilities. Locals often go abroad for a vacation since they could save half of the cost were they to pick their own country for domestic tourism.

Kazakhstan is divided into several regions, each with its own cultural and natural tourist attractions to offer to visitors. The Almaty Province is the home of the former capital of Kazakhstan, offering treks into historic towns and ancient monoliths and petroglyphs. To the north of the country are cold steppes that are home to the modern national capital and where the Russian minority is centered. It also contains several industrial cities and is the biggest wheat producing area in the whole of the Central Asian region. There are also ancient desert cities peppered across the Kazakh Desert landscape. These cities are dotted along the Silk Road and are influenced by its unique culture. Altai is a place in the Alps with a lot of beautiful and remote landscapes perfect for the more adventurous backpacker. The Caspian Basin is where the nation’s best beaches are located. It is developed by funds rolling in from the oil industry, which is also based there. One thing that the visitor needs to know is that tribal ties are still strong within the tribes of the Caspian Basin. And the Central Highlands is where mining is at its most developed stage, with wide steppes and barely a soul inhabiting them. Travel within Kazakhstan can be quite difficult and often expensive. Traveling into the country is a different matter, as you will need a Travel Health Card to enter the country. Visitors can travel using public buses. These are the most popular for intercity travel. However, a big issue is that these buses are rarely on time, and they are pretty crowded, especially at peak times. Using taxis can be cheap when traveling within the city. You don’t have to use official taxi services. You can just hold your hand out and just about any car will stop for you. The safest way, however, is to get a taxi through an app called Yandex. Getting to the airport can be a pain, and very expensive. Watch out for taxis as they can overcharge the already expensive rates. A better alternative is buses that go directly to the airport. You can also use trains to go to other cities. In fact, this is a common way of intercity travel in Kazakhstan. It can help visitors cover a lot of ground for a fraction of the price of taxis and buses. Another good way to cover a lot of distance is going by long-distance bus or the train. You can experience the special attractions that Kazakhstan has to offer all its visitors, like the unique mix of culture and nature of its people and its geography. Go on your vacation right now and don’t forget to have the required paperwork with you.
