With the aim of digitizing the national registry of individuals, the "Guides" module was developed on the Kazakhstan travel website. According to the information on the site, the system is designed to track individuals who have provided notification of the commencement or termination of their activity as a guide. This includes both individual entrepreneurs and those working in tour operator companies, museums, national parks, and other tourist attractions.

The purpose of the system is to make the management of the national registry of guides and tour guides more efficient, provide easy access to up-to-date data, and verify the status of official guides through the use of QR codes.

The process of becoming a professional guide is now even simpler and more accessible. Users can undergo training and obtain the status of an official guide, which will ensure their participation in the digital registry and the assignment of a unique QR code.

The platform's main features include creating a comprehensive database of various guides and tour guides, including those who work in museums, national parks, and other tourist sites. The system also provides a rating of guides based on tourist reviews obtained through a mobile application. Additionally, it helps identify illegal guides and tour guides through simple QR code scanning by the tourist police.

This digital initiative aims to increase the professionalism and quality of guide services and ensure the safety and satisfaction of tourists in the Republic of Kazakhstan.

So, how it works:
1. Create your personal profile on the Kazakhstan.travel portal
2. Undergo training, testing, and receive notification of the commencement of activity as a guide or tour guide, for inclusion in the official registry
3. Receive a personal badge with a QR code, necessary for working as a guide
4. Accept requests from tourists and tour operators through the mobile application and the Kazakhstan.travel portal
5. Obtain a guide and tourism instructor certificate and QR code, necessary for working as a guide and receiving privileges.
