Kazakhstan has been included in the list of 21 recommended destinations around the world in 2021, by the French newspaper Le Figaro.
Zambia, Palau, Spitsbergen, Malta, Swiss Alps, Costa Rica, Greece, Singapore, and other countries and territories are also featured in the review.
In its travel section, 2021 is called a year of hope and renewal after a difficult year. It is noted that people now have a desire to travel giving preference to nature and ecotourism.
Tourists are recommended to enjoy horseback riding tours in the steppe and hiking in the Tien Shan, a wild mountain range full of glacial lakes in Kazakhstan.
In March 2020, Le Figaro also recommended visiting Kazakhstan, “the land of tracking routes, steppes, and skyscrapers.” Almaty, the Turkestan region, Shymkent, and the Shymbulak ski resort were named as must-see destinations.
