International Legal and National Legal Aspects of Tourism Activity: Legal Support for Tourism in the Republic of Kazakhstan

Abstract

The formation of a market economy in Kazakhstan has increased interest in forms and methods of tourist services. Tourism industry development at an accelerated pace and the increasing negative consequences of competition and commercialization of tourism activity have led to an understanding of the need for state regulation of tourism activity. The main goals, objectives, principles and directions of the state policy of Kazakhstan in the field of tourism are defined in the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan “On touristic activity in the Republic of Kazakhstan” dated 13 June, 2001, as well as the Concept of tourism industry development of the Republic of Kazakhstan until 2023. In modern conditions, tourism industry development is impossible without determining the main development directions of the legal framework of tourism activity in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The article discusses a set of measures in the tourism sector aimed at the development of tourism, designed to improve legal regulation in this area and form a strong legal framework for the development of the tourism industry in the Republic of Kazakhstan.
