Some problems of formation of the tourism industry at the Kazakh sectors of the Silk Routes

Kazakhstan's unique heritage along the Silk Routes, including UNESCO World Heritage Sites such as the Mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi in Turkestan and Tamgaly petroglyphs in Almaty, presents significant potential for tourism development. The study highlights that Kazakhstan is home to over a thousand years' worth of historical monuments and archaeological sites, attracting global attention from historians. A notable post-Soviet state program, 'Cultural Heritage,' has successfully restored dozens of landmarks, underscoring the country's rich cultural legacy. However, challenges persist in fully leveraging this potential for tourism growth, particularly within the context of international efforts to revive the Silk Road. The research employs a literature review method to explore these issues, emphasizing the need for strategic development to capitalize on Kazakhstan's unique historical assets.
