Kazakhstan Climbs 28 Places in Global Tourism Ranking
Kazakhstan continues to strengthen its position on the regional tourism map. In recent years, the sector has demonstrated steady growth, with tourism activity increasing across nearly all key indicators. Following strong growth in 2025, the positive trend has continued into 2026.
According to the latest data, nearly 2 million guests were accommodated at tourism establishments across Kazakhstan during the first quarter of 2026. The value of services provided exceeded 69 billion tenge, representing a 14% increase compared to the same period last year. The volume index of tourism services reached 104.5%, indicating not only higher prices but also genuine growth in tourism activity.
Domestic tourism has shown particularly strong momentum. During the first quarter of 2026, the number of Kazakh citizens using accommodation services within the country increased by 3.6%. This reflects growing interest among residents in travelling within Kazakhstan and points to ongoing improvements in tourism infrastructure, a broader range of services, and the increasing attractiveness of domestic destinations. As a result, domestic tourism is becoming one of the key drivers of the sector, stimulating regional economic activity, creating jobs, and supporting the growth of small and medium-sized businesses.
At the regional level, Almaty remained the leading destination, welcoming 472,900 visitors during January–March 2026. It was followed by Astana with 352,200 visitors and the Akmola Region with 161,100 visitors. Approximately 40% of all visitors were concentrated in resort areas, amounting to more than 800,000 people, highlighting the growing importance of recreational tourism and strong demand for domestic holiday destinations.
The positive trends are consistent with the priorities outlined by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, who has repeatedly emphasised the importance of tourism development, including in his 2025 State of the Nation Address, where he highlighted the Almaty tourism cluster and the strategic significance of the sector.
Tourism infrastructure continues to expand. Kazakhstan now has more than 4,500 accommodation facilities, employing around 31,000 people. Three years ago, the country had approximately 3,800 accommodation facilities and 28,000 employees in the sector. This represents growth of 17% in accommodation capacity and 12% in employment, underscoring the sector’s increasing contribution to the national economy.
Tourism’s contribution to Kazakhstan’s economy continues to grow. In 2025, the sector generated 5 trillion tenge and accounted for 3.1% of GDP. More than 600,000 people are now employed in tourism-related activities, representing around 7% of total national employment. According to Tourism and Sports Minister Yerbol Myrzabossynov, foreign visitors spent US$2.9 billion in Kazakhstan in 2025, while tax revenues generated by tourism increased by 18% to 630 billion tenge, raising the sector’s share of total tax revenues to 2%.
These results reflect sustained efforts by both the government and private sector to develop tourism infrastructure, improve transport connectivity, enhance service quality, and promote Kazakhstan internationally. Investment in the tourism sector reached 1.3 trillion tenge in 2025, up 33% year-on-year. At the same time, government spending on culture, sport, tourism, and information policy reached a record 1.2 trillion tenge.
Legislative reforms have also been introduced. Amendments adopted in March 2026 include a “green corridor” mechanism for tourist buses to reduce border crossing times for organised groups, the formal recognition of visitor centres, and the introduction of unified standards for guides, tour leaders, and tourism instructors. Additional measures support children’s and eco-tourism, including free access to national parks for visitors under the age of 18.
The development of the tourism sector is being guided by Kazakhstan’s Tourism Industry Development Concept for 2023–2029. A key objective remains attracting more international visitors through visa liberalisation, expanded international air connectivity, and stronger promotion of Kazakhstan abroad. Citizens of 84 countries can currently enter Kazakhstan visa-free, while an electronic visa system is available to citizens of 102 countries. Kazakhstan is connected to 30 countries through 626 weekly flights operating across 135 international routes.
Infrastructure development also continues at pace. In 2025 alone, 96 tourism infrastructure projects worth 167.4 billion tenge were implemented, while government support measures for the sector totalled approximately 7 billion tenge. These figures demonstrate that tourism has become one of the priority sectors of Kazakhstan’s economic policy.
The sector’s progress is increasingly reflected in international rankings. One of the most important benchmarks is the Travel & Tourism Development Index published by the World Economic Forum, which assesses tourism infrastructure, investment attractiveness, and readiness for sustainable tourism development. Kazakhstan ranked 80th in 2019 with a score of 3.7, improved to 66th in 2021, and reached 52nd place in 2024 with a score of 4.1. Overall, Kazakhstan climbed 28 places in just five years, representing one of the most significant improvements in the region.
The country has also improved its standing in the tourism and culture category of rankings published by U.S. News & World Report. Kazakhstan ranked 73rd in 2025, improving by 11 places over three years. Notably, Kazakhstan has narrowed the gap with regional competitors and now ranks seven places ahead of Uzbekistan, while also outperforming countries such as Qatar, Bahrain, Tunisia, and Vietnam.
Overall, international rankings confirm that Kazakhstan’s tourism sector is not only expanding quantitatively but also strengthening its competitiveness globally. Improvements in international indices reflect broader progress in infrastructure, service quality, investment attractiveness, and tourism promotion, reinforcing Kazakhstan’s emergence as one of the most promising tourism destinations in Central Asia.

United States, 22nd Aug 2026 — Managing a modern industrial or commercial facility often requires more than completing a construction project. From engineering and equipment installation to automation, facility transitions, and ongoing maintenance, organizations may need multiple specialized teams to work together without disrupting operations. MTLI Group of Companies is addressing this challenge through an integrated infrastructure model designed to bring these requirements under one accountable structure.
Founded in 1982, MTLI Group has spent more than four decades developing infrastructure solutions for organizations across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. With more than 15,000 completed projects, 100+ professionals, and a network of 800+ vendors and partners, the company is positioned to support complex programs involving multiple facilities, trades, locations, and project phases.
“Complex facilities require coordination long after the first construction activity begins,” said Mitchell Learning, CEO of MTLI Group. “Our integrated structure allows us to remain involved across multiple stages so clients can approach infrastructure development and change as one connected program.”
Reducing Fragmentation Across Facility Programs
One of the challenges associated with major facility projects is coordination. A construction contractor may complete one phase, an automation specialist may handle another, and separate providers may be responsible for installation, relocation, maintenance, or recovery.
MTLI Group takes a different approach by combining these capabilities within a broader infrastructure platform. Engineering, project management, construction, installation, automation, transitions, and lifecycle services can be coordinated through a single delivery structure.
This model is designed to provide clients with greater visibility into project schedules, costs, safety requirements, and execution while reducing the need to manage numerous independent workstreams.
Building Infrastructure Around Operational Requirements
The growing adoption of automation is changing the way warehouses and distribution facilities are designed and operated. Warehouse automation can involve sophisticated equipment and technology, but successful implementation also depends on the surrounding physical infrastructure.
As a warehouse automation company, MTLI Group supports projects where automation needs to be considered alongside construction, installation, electrical systems, controls, equipment placement, and facility operations. This integrated perspective can help organizations approach automation as part of the overall facility rather than as a separate technology project.
MTLI’s role can extend from engineering and planning through installation and commissioning, helping coordinate the transition from project design to operational infrastructure.
Supporting Commercial and Industrial Development
Facility requirements can vary significantly between commercial properties, manufacturing environments, distribution centers, and logistics operations. MTLI Group provides construction capabilities designed to accommodate these different environments.
As a commercial construction company, the organization supports commercial facility projects, modifications, buildouts, and infrastructure improvements. Its capabilities as a commercial general contractor allow it to coordinate construction activities with other project requirements and specialized trades.
MTLI also provides design build construction services, connecting engineering and construction considerations within the same project framework. This approach can help streamline communication between planning and field execution while creating clearer accountability throughout development.
For manufacturing and industrial environments, MTLI operates as an industrial construction company, supporting projects that may require coordination between structural work, equipment installation, automation, electrical systems, and ongoing facility operations.
Infrastructure Support Beyond the Build
For MTLI Group, facility delivery does not necessarily end when construction is complete. Buildings and industrial environments require continued attention as equipment ages, operational requirements change, and businesses expand or relocate.
Through its capabilities as a facility management company, MTLI supports ongoing maintenance, inspections, repairs, equipment services, troubleshooting, and infrastructure optimization.
The company also provides facility transition and asset recovery services for organizations moving, consolidating, expanding, or redesigning operations. Equipment and infrastructure can be dismantled, relocated, recovered, reinstalled, or redeployed as part of broader transition programs.
About MTLI Group of Companies
MTLI Group of Companies is an integrated industrial and commercial infrastructure platform serving the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Founded in 1982, the company specializes in engineering, automation, construction, installation, logistics, facility transitions, asset recovery, and lifecycle support.
MTLI’s experience includes more than 15,000 completed projects, supported by 100+ professionals and a network of 800+ trusted vendors and partners. The company is structured to manage multi-site, multi-trade, and multi-phase programs while maintaining a centralized approach to project accountability.
Rather than limiting its role to traditional contracting, MTLI works as a long-term infrastructure partner, supporting clients from early planning and design through installation, maintenance, transitions, and ongoing performance optimization.
