TÜRSAB Board of Directors members Mehmet Akyıl and Hamit Kuk participated in the “Heritage of the Great Steppe: The Civilization of the Syr Darya Basin and the Space World Tourism Route” program, organized at the invitation of the Kyzylorda Region of Kazakhstan to TÜRSAB.

The purpose of the visit was to assess the tourism potential of the Kyzylorda region by drawing on TÜRSAB’s experience, to share views and recommendations aimed at increasing tourism activity in the region, and to facilitate a mutual exchange of information.

As part of the program, our delegation toured the Korkut Ata Airport terminal; they visited the Presidential Park and Botanical Garden, as well as the Regional History and Local Culture Museum located on the Left Bank of Kyzylorda, where they learned about the museum’s activities and exhibitions. Our delegation also participated in an informational and inspection tour of the New Heat Power Plant, which was constructed by a Turkish company.

Later in the program, our delegation visited the Korkut Ata Monument Complex and then proceeded to the Baikonur Space Center, where they toured the strategic facilities there. The program concluded with a visit to and tour of the ancient city of Çankent (Yengikent).

During the visit, two separate “Memorandums of Understanding on Tourism Cooperation” were signed with D. Yermekov, Head of the Kyzylorda Tourism Administration, and N. Koptileuov, Director of Tourism for the City of Baikonur, under the auspices of the Kyzylorda Regional Administration.
