One of the key areas of domestic tourism development is supporting initiatives that allow travelers to experience the culture, traditions, and everyday life of rural communities.

Today, the guest house format is developing across the region, enabling local residents to host visitors while giving tourists an opportunity to explore the natural, cultural, and historical heritage of East Kazakhstan.

Such initiatives contribute to the development of sustainable tourism, create additional opportunities for rural residents, and enhance the region’s tourism appeal.

Efforts to develop rural tourism continue as part of promoting the tourism potential of the East Kazakhstan Region through the iCaravan platform.

The founder of the platform, Talgat Ali, noted:
"Our goal is to introduce 1,000 villages and unique tourist destinations of Kazakhstan to the world. Katon-Karagay already demonstrates how rural tourism can benefit local communities while opening the region to travelers from around the globe."

The iCaravan platform invites residents of the East Kazakhstan Region to join its community of hosts.
