Over 9.8 million Kazakhstanis traveled in 2022. Of these, 9.2 million went on a trip for personal purposes but 8.4 million Kazakhstanis went to beautiful, preserved, holy sites as tourists; 800 thousand people were traveling abroad.
Children make less than a quarter of tourists. Of the 8.8 million tourists in Kazakhstan, only 1.8 million children under 15 were counted in 2022. Therefore, it seemed quite logical that out of almost 900 thousand outbound tourists, children amounted to less than 147 thousand, but it would be nice if children traveled more.
It is more difficult for children to relax not only away but also at home. Kazakhstan is a socially oriented country, but, nevertheless, according to official statistics, kiddie rides increased in price by 25% in May 2023 compared to May 2022, cinemas - by 13%, theaters - by 6%, given the fact that they already rose in price - by 11%, 8% and 29%, respectively last year.
A cinema ticket in May, on average, in Kazakhstan, cost 1945 tenge, a day in a sanatorium - 17028 tenge, a day in a hotel - 14316 tenge. However, in Almaty it cost 1671 tenge, 22028 and 25261 tenge, respectively.
Adult ticket to swimming pool on weekdays from Monday to Friday costs 12 thousand tenge, and on weekends - 15 thousand tenge. A ticket to children's swimming pool for children from 5 to 12 years old on weekdays is 6 thousand tenge, on weekends - 8 thousand tenge. Guests of the hotel with a swimming pool will pay 10 thousand tenge on weekdays, 12 thousand on weekends, children under 4 years old - free of charge. Towel rent is 1,000 tenge. The pool is open in one of the recreation areas, near Astana, from 10.00 to 21.00. Entrance to the territory with your own food and drinks is prohibited. A family of two adults and two children over 5 years old spend 46,000 tenge, excluding food and drinks.

The rooms can be booked online, through the booking form, with manager’s confirmation: the Baganashil sports and entertainment complex will cost from 8 thousand tenge, the Maral-Sai health resort in the Ile-Alatau state national natural park, in the Maralsay mountain area - from 3 thousand, Alpina XXI - from 12 thousand, country mini-hotel "4 Seasons" - from 15 thousand, mountain resort-hotel "Lesnaya Skazka" - from 25 thousand tenge.
