Almaty, the capital of Kazakhstan, to Akmola in her 30-year development strategy
planning. Astana is the capital of Kazakhstan, one of the leaders in the country's socioeconomic development. The decision to move the capital directly had a direct impact
on the dynamic development of the city, regions and the spatial structure of the country

as well as cultural resources and local riches. Activities planned for the development of tourism in Astana: cultural tourism, historical tourism, business tourism, nature sports
