The document introduces strict requirements to reduce tourism's environmental footprint
Kazakhstan is set to implement a national ecotourism standard, as reported by Kazinform, a partner of TV BRICS. The new framework aims to position the country as a leading sustainable tourism destination while safeguarding its unique ecosystems and biodiversity.
According to the source, the document introduces strict requirements to reduce tourism's environmental footprint. It prioritises measures such as ecotour classification, route planning, energy efficiency, waste management, and the preservation of biodiversity, ensuring visitors can explore Kazakhstan’s natural beauty responsibly.
Extensive consultations with key stakeholders, including government bodies responsible for tourism, environment, and public health, ensured the standard’s comprehensive approach.
The new ecotourism standard is designed for wide application, targeting tour operators, travel agencies, accommodation providers, food services, tourism instructors, excursion organisers, and those involved in tourism marketing and advertising.
By implementing this standard, Kazakhstan aims to enhance its reputation as an eco-conscious travel destination, aligning with global sustainable development goals.
