Almaty Does Not Count Tourists in Motorhomes, Discusses Camping

In Brief

Almaty's tourism department does not keep separate statistics for tourists arriving in motorhomes. The issue gained relevance after the KITF 2026 exhibition, where motorhomes were first showcased. Parking development proceeds without special consideration for motorhome travelers.

The Almaty Tourism Department stated that it does not maintain separate statistics for tourists arriving in motorhomes. This was revealed in response to a request from the publication "Vlast". The issue of motorhome infrastructure became relevant after the Kazakhstan International Tourism and Travel Exhibition KITF 2026, held in Almaty from April 22 to 24, where motorhomes were presented as part of the exhibition for the first time.

The city administration noted that the priority is sustainable and eco-friendly tourism, not motorhome infrastructure. The development of design and estimate documentation for parking is underway, but without special consideration for the needs of motorhome travelers. In mountain zones such as Shymbulak, vehicle entry restrictions are in place, making organized parking and camping a key issue for the development of auto tourism.

Bektenov instructs to organize campsites and motorhome parking

Kazakh Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov at a government meeting instructed regional akims to accelerate the creation of camping tourism infrastructure. The reason cited is an acute shortage of equipped accommodation for tourists during peak season, forcing vacationers to use undeveloped sites. The instruction covers the organization of parking and areas for tents and motorhomes.
