During the summer tourist season, the Akmola Region is expecting a significant influx of visitors. According to forecasts, the region will welcome around 2 million tourists throughout the year. The Burabay resort area will traditionally remain the main tourist attraction, where extensive preparations of infrastructure and tourism facilities have been completed to receive visitors.

Particular attention is being paid to the development of tourist routes. Improvement works are underway on ten existing routes, while two new routes are being created in the areas of Lake Zhukey and the village of Akylbay. The resort’s internal infrastructure continues to develop as well. In Burabay, eight observation decks have been constructed, a new park area has been opened, 45 picnic sites have been equipped, the existing 30-kilometer cycling path has been extended by an additional 10 kilometers, and 55 sanitary facilities have been installed.

Important improvements are also taking place in transport accessibility. A modernized railway station in the city of Shchuchinsk is scheduled to open later this month. To ensure convenient transportation for passengers arriving by train, new bus routes will be launched from the station.

The resort’s hospitality infrastructure is also expanding rapidly. In July, the Mövenpick hotel complex is expected to open, followed by the five-star Radisson Blu Burabay in December. Construction of the five-star Dolce by Wyndham hotel is ongoing, while the Holiday Inn Resort Burabay project is set to begin in July.

Another promising development is the construction of a modern congress center, which is expected to become a new landmark and symbol of Burabay. The project documentation is currently undergoing state expert review.

The safety of visitors will be ensured by 40 police officers and a modern intelligent video surveillance system consisting of 123 smart cameras. Three rescue stations operating on Lakes Shchuchye, Borovoe, and Bolshoe Chebachye have been switched to an enhanced operating mode for the summer season to ensure the safety of vacationers.
