The Minister of Tourism and Sports of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Yerbol Myrzabosynov, held a working meeting with investors and representatives of development institutions, during which the main focus was on the completion of construction of tourist facilities on the territory of the "Warm Beach" in Aktau.
"As part of the instructions of the head of state on the development of tourism in the Mangystau region, we must prepare a clear comprehensive development plan as soon as possible, one of the key tasks of which is to complete the full implementation of the tourist destination "Warm Beach". This will significantly increase the attractiveness of the region for both domestic and foreign tourists," the minister said.
As a result of the meeting, specific agreements were reached, in particular, the Shopping Malls project will be launched for the tourist season next year, which will become another key tourist attraction center.
The project "Hotel with golf club and villas" will continue to be implemented, according to which there is a common understanding with the investor about the expediency of changing the brand "Fairmont" (5*) to "Swissotel" (5*). This is due to the fact that the Swissotel brand has a more flexible pricing policy and is recognizable in the markets of Kazakhstan and neighboring countries.
The launch of the projects will lead to the creation of a full-fledged tourist destination, the development of small and medium-sized businesses with the generation of additional tax revenues and new jobs in the amount of 1,877 units.
In general, work on increasing the investment attractiveness of resort areas and attracting the world's leading franchises of the hotel and restaurant business will continue.
