It is reported by Kassym-Jomart Tokayev during the international tourism forum Ulytau-2019.
- Many foreign tourists have long been fed up with universal things - five-star hotels and resorts. Their interest lies in studying the culture, customs and traditions of different nations, getting to know the history of the host country. Therefore, there is a growing demand in the world for visiting original places, participating in historical festivals and reconstructing the most important events of bygone days, ”said K. Tokayev.
- Tourism is a very difficult area. It is necessary to prepare the appropriate specialists. That is why we decided to open the University of Tourism. We need to train qualified personnel who will be able to work in this area,” the President emphasized.
