There is a willingness on the part of Kazakhstani companies to supply agricultural environmentally friendly products to Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, the Great Gulf, and Southeast China. Special attention was paid to the development of joint tourism.

Tax revenues from the tourism sector increased by 2 times to 76.9 billion tenge.International recognition has also played an important role in strengthening the city's tourist image. Almaty took the 25th place in the ranking of the best tourist destinations in the world according to The New York Times. The British magazine Wanderlust has included Kazakhstan, focusing on Almaty, in the top 24 places to visit in 2024.These achievements contributed to a 2.4-fold increase in ad campaign impressions, increasing their reach to 300 million accounts.At international tourism exhibitions, Almaty signed 230 memoranda with foreign tour operators, which will ensure the influx of more than 190 thousand tourists in the next three years.

To achieve this goal, the focus will be increased on 11 target markets, including China, Turkey, South Korea, the United Kingdom, Germany, the United Arab Emirates, Italy, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia and Singapore. Tourists from these countries have a high level of travel expenses — from 750 to 1,500 US dollars, which makes them an important audience for the development of tourism in Almaty.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/almaty/press/news/details/898136

In 2025, 697.4 million tenge will be allocated for the development of mining and urban infrastructure in Almaty. This was reported during the session of the Maslikhat of Almaty, which adopted the city budget for 2025-2027.The plans include the creation of 10 mountain routes with navigation facilities, the arrangement of 3 camping areas with solar panels in hard-to-reach places, the reconstruction of the Alma-Arasan thermal spring, the manufacture of tactile models of tourist facilities, the maintenance of information centers, totems and terminals. These events will highlight the uniqueness of Almaty, its cultural and natural attractions, as well as a variety of tourist products.Recall that in 2024, the Tourism Department of Almaty completed work on the improvement of 10 mountain routes (1. The old trail to the Tuyuk Su alpine camp. 2. Yunnat lake – Butakovka – Forest pass. 3. Yunnan trails. 4. Sanatorium "Ak-Kayyn" – Small Almaty gorge 5. BAO – Pogrebetsky peak. 6. MAU. Tuyuk Su Alpine camp – Tuyuk Su glacier. 7. Butakovka Spring (2 km of trails have been landscaped in the Butakovsky gorge, a river crossing has been built, benches and gazebos have been installed, including for citizens with special needs.) 8. Medeu. Recreation trail 9. Medeu. Karakungei Ridge. Observation deck ("Elephant") 10. Medeu. Karakungei Ridge. Circle of Serkebai).There are 367 information signs, 15 gazebos, 66 benches, 6 recreation platforms, and 4 bridges along the mountain trails. All elements are made of high-strength materials, including high-melting steel, resistant to extreme weather conditions. Vandal-proof structures have been used, which ensures the durability and reliability of the infrastructure even under intensive operation.Special attention is paid to safety: reliable river crossings have been built, as well as sections of routes adapted for people with different levels of physical fitness. The work was carried out taking into account the high popularity of these areas among residents and visitors of the city. Convenient and safe routes are designed not only to improve the hiking experience, but also to emphasize the natural wealth of the region.A systematic approach to the improvement of Almaty's mountain routes contributes to the creation of new points of attraction for tourists. One of the striking examples is the bench installed in 2023 at the peak of the Baby as part of comprehensive infrastructure improvement works. Malysh Peak has already been popular among tourists and nature lovers, however, in order to increase interest in this route, there was a need for additional emphasis - now the bench has become an important element that has turned the object into a unique tourist attraction.The Almaty Tourism Department urges tourists and residents of the city to observe safety measures, take into account weather conditions, carefully prepare for mountain walks, and adhere to a culture of behavior in the natural environment. It is necessary to take care of nature and urban infrastructure, keep clean, clean up garbage and preserve the unique beauty of the surrounding landscapes for future generations.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/almaty/press/news/details/898155

As part of comprehensive measures to improve the sanitary condition and aesthetics of Almaty in 2025, it is planned to build 581 new container sites and install 1,683 deep-type containers. This became known during an extraordinary session of the maslikhat, at which the three-year budget of the city was approved.Modern containers will help to optimize the use of space, reduce the occupied area, prevent the appearance of unpleasant odors and provide reliable protection from birds and stray animals. Today, 786 such containers have already been installed in the city, which is an important step in creating a cleaner and more comfortable urban space for residents.In addition, in 2024, 1800 plastic euro containers with a volume of 1 m3 were purchased in Almaty for the collection of solid household waste. These containers will be transferred to garbage collection organizations, which will improve waste disposal processes.Recall that in 2012, 197 deep-type container sites were built in Almaty and 1,001 containers were installed. However, over 10 years of operation in an aggressive environment, these containers have undergone significant corrosion. For further operation of containers in Almaty, new products are purchased from a domestic manufacturer, which uses primary food-grade environmentally friendly polyethylene of high quality. These materials comply with international standards, and the production technology allows us to produce containers with a uniform thickness throughout the product, without seams and internal stresses, which significantly increases the reliability, strength and durability of containers.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/almaty/press/news/details/898162
