At a recent extended meeting of the Government, the head of state emphasized the strategic importance of tourism development and the creation of comfortable conditions for foreign guests. The Ministry of Internal Affairs continues its efforts to ensure the safety of tourists.
Now, upon entering the country, foreign citizens can receive a special card with a QR code that directs them to the multilingual electronic portal SafeTravel.kz. This portal contains important information and recommendations for a safe stay in Kazakhstan, as well as links to useful mobile applications.
The first such cards have already started to be issued to foreign tourists at the international airport of the capital.
The following resources are available on SafeTravel.kz:
- the mobile application "102" for quick contact with the police, including an "SOS" function;
- a reminder on migration rules;
- a city map with links to popular services;
- a list of official taxis and online platforms;
- information about mobile operators with links to their websites;
- action algorithms for various incidents;
- emergency service contacts — ambulance, fire department, and unified rescue service.
The launch of this system aims to enhance the safety of tourists and strengthen Kazakhstan's image as an attractive destination for travel and investment.
