According to him, it is expected that by the end of the year, the number of tourists in Almaty will reach 2.3 million.
The mayor emphasized that the average expenditure per tourist in Almaty is 313 dollars. The city authorities have set an ambitious goal to increase this figure to 500 dollars within the next two years, and by 2030, to 700 dollars.
This is linked to the development of the hotel and restaurant industry, retail, and other sectors where tourists make purchases and spend money.
