Sports Tourism in Kazakhstan

Travel to Kazakhstan in order to observe or participate in sporting events and activities.

Sports tourism is traveling from one region or country to another in order to either observe a sporting event as a spectator or actively participate in it.

The territory of Kazakhstan is equipped with all the necessary infrastructure for outdoor activities. The most prominent and memorable sports facilities are Medeu and Shymbulak Ski Resorts, located in Almaty. Also, over the past 10 years, world-class sports complexes have been built in the city of Nur-Sultan – Astana Arena, Saryarka Cycle Track, Alau Ice Palace, Barys Hockey Club Home Arena and others. Thousands of tourists from near and far abroad come here annually.

In addition, marathons, bicycle races, triathlon competitions, alpine games, and even rock climbing competitions are held in major cities.

Fortunately, now people pay more attention to their health and wellbeing, and engage in physical activity. That is why the sports tourism industry in Kazakhstan is rapidly developing, reaching a new level, contributing to people’s desire to be always in shape and good mood.
