Following the Government's discussions, the regional leader conducted a subsequent meeting where he provided directives to the relevant industry officials concerning the topics that were discussed."According to statistics, 90% of emergency situations in the country occur as a result of fires. Given the dry and windy climate of our region, the risk of the occurrence and rapid spread of steppe fires is extremely high.To prevent steppe fires, constant monitoring and prompt action are necessary.

Local farms must notify forestry agencies in advance before clearing land. Fire prevention measures must be strictly controlled. Due to natural and human factors, there is a high risk of dry grass fires along main and inter-district roads, as well as in crop areas. Strengthening control in forest areas and on agricultural lands is essential. Comprehensive measures to prevent floods are being implemented in the region. Ice drift began on the rivers on February 14, and they were completely cleared in March. The water level in the rivers was managed by diverting water into main canals and lakes. Efficient water use and ensuring safety in flood-prone areas are important. The issues discussed at today's meeting are relevant. They must be kept under strict control and addressed promptly," N. Nalibayev noted.It should be noted that 15 fire trucks, 10 drones, and 65 permanent fire brigades are involved in preventing forest fires. Over the past three years, funds have been allocated to strengthen the material and technical resources of the region's forestry services. This year, plans include the purchase of 62 units of equipment and about 80 tools.

The VISIT KARAGANDA Tourist Information Center is ready to receive visitors. Here, guests of the region can get information about routes, attractions, hotels, recreation areas, and tour operator services. Experts will advise you on what to see and where to go.— We want anyone who comes to Karaganda to know where to go and what to see, — says the director of the center Bakhtiyar Bekmurzaev. — We also plan to open a visit center in the airport area so that every guest, having set foot on Karaganda land, would not get confused, but could get useful information.The center will produce guidebooks and maps, open new routes and develop various areas of tourism: adventure, children's, ecological, gastronomic, ethno- and industrial. Work is currently underway to create new routes, including hiking, urban and regional excursions, jeep tours and expeditions to historical and picturesque places.One of the main projects of the center is a virtual consultant created on the basis of artificial intelligence, with support for 170 languages of the world. The chatbot will become a convenient assistant for traveling around the Karaganda region. Through it, you can choose a route, learn about the sights and get up-to-date information about hotels, gas stations and recreation areas.In addition, a booking system adapted to local realities is under development. It will reflect not only urban hotels, but also rural accommodation options.Developing tourism, it is necessary to conduct not only information work, but also to provide high-quality infrastructure.— First of all, we need a large-scale information campaign. Even many Karaganda residents do not know what attractions there are in the region, let alone tourists. Information should find people on its own. Secondly, road improvements are needed. Even in rural areas, they can be put in order. It is not necessary to lay asphalt, but you need to make sure that the roads can be driven. And, of course, the biggest difficulty is the accommodation of tourists. It is necessary to involve local residents more actively in the creation of guest houses, the training of guides and the provision of transport services," said Vitaly Shuptar, Chairman of the Avalon Historical and Geographical Society.One of the new projects of the center will be a children's language camp in Karkaralinsk. Children will be able to learn the Kazakh language, get acquainted with the traditions and customs of the people in a natural environment without gadgets.Among the additional activities of the center will be the creation of tourist merchandise. One of these collaboration projects is the Vizit Karaganda line of the Nurami brand.— Our brand promotes Kazakhstani artists. We use images of their paintings on our products," says Lyudmila Fedosenko, a brand representative. — T-shirts with works by the Karaganda artist Vladimir Protsenko are currently in the line. They feature iconic places in Karaganda: Gornyakov Recreation Center, Cascade Square and Karkaralinsk. I think when tourists come to us, they will be pleased to take with them something that will remind them of their trip and our region.Speaking about the plans, Bakhtiyar Bekmurzayev stressed that the main goal of the center is to develop the tourism potential of the region.— We want to become a center that will help tourists and entrepreneurs to interact and develop comfortably, — said Bakhtiyar Bekmurzayev.The tourist Information Center "VISIT QARAGANDA" is located in the Center of State and Service Services of the Karaganda region at 709 Tattimbeta Street.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/karaganda/press/news/details/969409?lang=kk
