In 2025, Almaty will continue to develop mountain infrastructure to attract tourists 04.12.2024
Almaty continues to develop its tourism potential, creating new opportunities for travelers and strengthening its status in the international tourism industry. In 2025, 697.4 million tenge will be allocated for the development of mining and urban infrastructure in Almaty.The relevant draft budget for 2025-2027 is planned to be considered at the upcoming session of the Maslikhat of Almaty. This was reported by the press service of the city Maslikhat.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 sites, 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 "Serkebai").There are 367 information signs, 15 gazebos, 66 benches, 6 recreation platforms, 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 during 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 mountain routes in Almaty 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/896309
