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.
