Abstract:

Kazakhstan possesses unique natural resources and original culture, has a huge potential for the development of agrarian tourism. The necessary conditions are surveys of the regional location of potential agro-tourism facilities, consideration of recreational systems at the oblast level, the state of the socio-economic sphere of the regions, the study of the state of the rural infrastructure, the development of industry in the regions, and the study of cultural and historical significance. The task of agrotourism is to give impetus to the development of individual rural settlements, to raise the level of incomes of their residents, to stop the migration flow from the village to the city by creating additional jobs, reducing the social tension in the countryside by organizing a new specific sector of the local economy.
