Why Do Tourists Visit Mangystau? Experts Discussed Key Issues in Tourism Development 10.08.2026
Issues related to the development of the tourism industry, improvement of infrastructure and enhancement of the international tourism potential of the Mangystau Region were discussed today on the “Expert Opinion” program on the Mangystau TV channel.The program featured Gulsim Zharyieva, a representative of the Mangystau Regional Tourism Department; Erzhan Nagmanov, Director of Mangystau Tour 999 LLP and an inbound and domestic tourism operator; and Asiya Lukmanova, an inbound and domestic tourism operator at Asia Service IE.According to industry representatives, tourists are primarily attracted to the Mangystau Region by Bozzhyra, Sherkala, Tuzbair and other natural attractions, the Caspian Sea, desert landscapes, as well as the region’s historical and cultural heritage. The uniqueness of its natural sites is helping Mangystau become a popular tourist destination not only in Kazakhstan but also internationally.The growth in tourist numbers is also supported by improved transport accessibility. Currently, flights are operated from Aktau International Airport to 10 domestic and 15 international destinations. In 2025–2026, new routes to Urumqi, Gorgan and Batumi were launched. In addition, the development of rail and road connections, the reconstruction of railway stations, the construction of a new bus station and improvements to roads leading to tourist sites are underway.The tourism industry is also showing positive economic growth. According to data from the Bureau of National Statistics of the Republic of Kazakhstan, in 2025, the volume of services provided by accommodation facilities amounted to 20.6 billion tenge, an 11% increase compared with 2024.At the same time, experts identified several issues affecting the development of tourism. These include the condition of roads leading to tourist sites, the quality of infrastructure and services, a shortage of qualified personnel, as well as the need to regulate anthropogenic pressure on natural areas.One of the key projects in this area is the development of the Kenderli resort area and the construction of a new airport. The current completion level of the airport stands at 35%.Projects aimed at developing tourism infrastructure are also being implemented. In 2024–2025, more than 6.5 billion tenge in investment was attracted to the industry, and seven projects were implemented. In 2026, three more projects with a total value of 510 million tenge are being implemented, creating 40 permanent jobs.According to experts, the main task for Mangystau is not only to increase the number of tourists, but also to create high-quality services and comfortable infrastructure while preserving natural and historical sites. It is also important to make the region an attractive tourist destination throughout the year, rather than only during the tourist season.To increase Mangystau’s international visibility, press tours are organized for foreign media, bloggers and tour operators, along with international events and various media projects. Filming of international projects, including Netflix productions, also contributes to promoting the region’s tourism potential to a wider audience.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mangystau-tourism/press/news/details/1271857?lang=ru

To Avoid Mistakes 10.08.2026
Nowadays, it is simply impossible to imagine our lives without mobile phones. Manufacturers advertise new models almost every day. Buying a modern new phone is a dream for many people, and some are even willing to take out a bank loan to make that dream come true. All the more disappointing, therefore, when the phone breaks down.At first, consumers often try to resolve the issue themselves. They attempt to exchange the phone at the store for a working one or return the defective product, but are refused by the sellers. However, sellers are often in no hurry to comply with the requirements of the law.This is largely because buyers often fail to obtain documents confirming their purchase. They do not keep receipts or warranty cards. When a consumer does not receive or retain these documents, they create additional problems for themselves.First of all, the receipt contains all the seller's details, making it much easier to identify and contact the seller if the phone breaks down. Secondly, the receipt serves as proof that the phone was purchased specifically from that particular store.A warranty card is also an important document confirming the purchase. However, buyers should be attentive and check whether the warranty card bears a stamp and, if so, which stamp has been affixed.These documents can be extremely useful if the device becomes defective. Under the current Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan “On Protection of Consumer Rights,” a buyer may also use witness statements to prove the fact of purchase if the necessary receipt and warranty documents have been lost. Nevertheless, it is much easier and more sensible to keep the sales receipt and warranty card.According to the Law on Protection of Consumer Rights, a buyer has the right to demand that a defective phone be replaced with an identical working device. A consumer may also demand reimbursement for the cost of repairing the phone by another organization. If the consumer wishes, they may demand a refund of the purchase price of the defective phone. However, the consumer must choose one of these remedies.It should also be noted that the defect in the phone must be proven. It must also be established that the consumer did not cause the damage themselves, for example, by dropping or immersing the phone in water.Technical examinations are carried out by service centers and specially accredited organizations. If it is determined that the consumer was not responsible for the defect, the seller must comply with the consumer's request to replace the phone or refund the money.If the examination results raise doubts, the consumer may obtain an independent assessment of the phone's technical condition at their own expense by contacting another service center.Having the examination results, along with all other relevant documents, significantly increases the consumer's chances of successfully resolving the dispute in court.Stand up for your rights and be an informed consumer!Department of Trade and Consumer Rights Protection of the Kyzylorda Region of the Ministry of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kyzylorda Region, Kyzylorda, 12 I.

Book exhibitions, poetry battles, intellectual games, quizzes, and literary meetings were prepared for residents.

An inclusive program was organized for blind and visually impaired citizens, featuring books in Braille and audiobooks.Sports activities included competitions and games in asyk atu, toghyzkumalak, and langi. At the children’s library, traditional games were combined with poetry readings and quizzes, demonstrating that learning about Abai’s legacy can be engaging and interactive.Today, 87 streets in the Aktobe Region bear Abai’s name. As Askhat Shakharov noted, efforts to popularize the great thinker’s works and promote national values in the region will continue.Abai Day in Aktobe demonstrated that his legacy continues to unite people of different generations: children recite his poems, his songs are performed on stage, and his ideas are becoming an integral part of the city’s contemporary cultural life.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/aktobe-zhastar1/press/news/details/1271695?lang=ru
