Abstract

The work is devoted to the issue of cultural and historical tourism in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan. The current state of this field is studied, and the author concludes that cultural-historical tourism has a powerful potential and can become a strategic resource for the economy of both countries in the future, based on the analysis of materials on this topic. Such prospects are determined by the correct approach to solving existing problems, favorable geographical location, which caused Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan to be in the center of famous historical events in Eurasia, and the Great Silk Road also passes through these countries. The cultural and historical heritage accumulated throughout the history of the local population in these countries has a special character with its own ethnic flavor, rich philosophical meaning, and is deeply embedded in history. All this creates great interest among tourists who want to not only receive the standard services of a travel company, but also become spiritually enriched and learn about the culture and history of the local people.
