Kazakhstan tourist companies report that after the abolition of the visa regime in the United Arab Emirates, citizens of Kazakhstan began to fly more often, reports InAlmaty.kz.
"Undoubtedly, due to the abolition of the visa regime for the citizens of Kazakhstan, the flow of tourists to the UAE has increased, but it is too early to make statistical conclusions, since not much time has passed." We see that interest has increased by 15% specially among Almaty and Astana residents" said the sales director of Kaztour Balzhan Bilyalova.
According to her, the travel agency does not observe a significant transition of tourists in favor of independent travel planning. The main deterrent is that when booking on the hotel's website or aggregator, often the price does not specify the tourist fees and taxes that may affect the final cost of the tour.
Recall, on the territory of the UAE, Kazakhstanis can stay without a visa for up to 30 days.
