  Kazakhstan is the ninth-largest country by area and the largest landlocked country. Today, tourism is not a major component of the economy. As of 2014, tourism has accounted for 0.3% of Kazakhstan's GDP, but the government has plans to increase it to 3% by 2020. In 2012, Kazakhstan ranked 51st in the world in terms of number of tourist arrivals. In 2000 total 1.47 million international tourists visited Kazakhstan, which was increased to 4.81 million in 2012. The Guardian describes tourism in Kazakhstan as, "hugely underdeveloped," despite the attractions of the country's dramatic mountain, lake and desert landscapes. Kazakh Government, long characterized as authoritarian with a history of human rights abuses and suppression of political opposition, has started an initiative named the "Tourism Industry Development Plan 2020".

The museums at Baikonur are excellent for telling all about the history of space flight, while tours through the facility as it is today bring you closer to modern science and space exploration.

  Nature Tourism
  You can’t mention Kazakhstan without talking about the many natural sights around the country. There are several great destinations not far from Almaty that make for great short trips, like Medeu, a skating rink nestled in a mountain valley. Saryarka, in the northern steppes, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Migratory birds and other endangered species, such as the Saiga antelope, live in these untouched steppes and wetlands, some of the most pristine and important in the world. And Alakol Lake, in eastern Kazakhstan, is a famous nature reserve with opportunities for hiking and relaxing. There are so many options of things to do out in nature in Kazakhstan, from hiking through the mountains to spending a night in a yurt out in the broad steppes - it’s all up to you.

  Historical and Cultural Tourism
  Kazakhstan was once at the center of the world, a destination for pilgrims and travelers from far and wide. Khoja Ahmed Yasawi was a famous poet and Sufi leader, memorialized by a mausoleum built by Timur in Turkestan at the end of the 14th century. His poetry and religious ideology brought people from far and wide to what is now southern Kazakhstan. His legacy lives on with akyns, improvisational poets and musicians that have written some of the most enduring works of Kazakh culture. If you spend a night in a yurt and enjoy a dinner of traditional dishes followed by a performance of a couple kuy (as songs are called in Kazakh), you’ll be sure to leave with warm memories. There are also many museums that show off Kazakhstan’s rich history and culture, from musical instruments to fine arts. The Kazakh Museum of Folk Musical Instruments in Almaty is full of a wide variety of instruments and beautiful exhibits showing the history and heights of music in Kazakhstan.

  Urban Tourism
  Kazakhstan’s cities are growing, with millions of people now calling the largest cities home. Nur-Sultan, the capital, is a newer city, since it only became the capital in 1997. With world-class architecture, museums, and concert halls, Nur-Sultan is a busy international city with plenty to keep the most intrepid traveler occupied. Almaty is the southern capital, a more historic city with three-lined streets and graceful older buildings (check out the Zenkov Cathedral, built from wood without a single nail). Go shopping, stroll along the streets, enjoy a gourmet meal, or spend a day in a museum - the big cities are an important part of Kazakhstan’s tourism.

  The United Kingdom is the world's 10th biggest tourist destination, with over 37 million visiting in 2018. The tourism industry contributed a total of £213 billion to the GDP in 2017. United Kingdom is the 10th most visited country in the world and the 4th most visited country in Europe. Tourism first began to increase during the 17th century when wealthy Europeans would follow the ‘Grand Tour’ of Western Europe which traditionally started in the United Kingdom before travelling to Italy. Throughout the industrial revolution, tourism continued to spike as people began to have more disposable income and technological advancements made transport more convenient and affordable. In 1841, Thomas Cook, founder of Thomas Cook & Son, took 500 passengers by train on a return trip from Leicester to Loughborough. This was his first excursion and is seen as a significant milestone in the creation of the British tourism industry. The world wars dampened the growth of the tourism sector, although after World War II the government began putting measures in place to increase tourism recognising its political and economic influence. By 1987, the World Tourism Organization estimated 3.4% of the UK’s GDP came from tourism. More recently, budget airlines and cheap accommodation has caused almost continuous year-on-year growth. In more recent times, terrorist attacks in the UK such as the 7/7 bombings in 2005 have an expected negative impact on the tourism industry. The Global Financial Crisis of 2008 caused three consecutive years of the number of visitors from overseas decreasing for the only period between 2002-2017.
