First official RV campsite opens in Astana, Kazakhstan

German citizen Dieter Edwin Albrecht, driving a rented motorhome, collided with a parked Niva in Aktobe region. A woman and a child were injured. He awaits trial in Alga, living in the damaged vehicle.

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.
