Kazakhstan is becoming an increasingly well-known destination for tourism. This is evidenced by the recognition of major foreign media and various international awards in the field of tourism. For example, in recent years, our country has been featured in such major publications as the New York Times, Telegraph, Guardian, LeFigaro, CondeNastTraveler, National Geographic, Lonely Planet.
Such attention becomes possible, among other things, due to the invitation of foreign media, travel bloggers, organizers of MICE events and other representatives of the tourism industry.
The national company "Kazakh Tourism" traditionally conducts such FAM trips. For example, in April there was the FAM trip for British media that write for such major publications as the BBC, TripReporter, The Week, National Geographic Traveler, Lonely Planet, Suitcase, Wanderlust and others.
Recently, there was a visit of the crew of the TV channel “My Planet” with the program “Out of Access Zone”, which is filmed in Kazakhstan for the first time. Filming took place in Almaty and Almaty region from May 19 to 25, where Kazakh Tourism provided support in the organizational part.
