However, there is no additional infrastructure and carefully placed emphasis on the use of these re- sources, tourism must admit to become competitive on the field for a long time. Ecotourism is very difficult to form the image of the tourist areas, but it is very easy to get lost status.
All in the possibilities for Kazakhstan, particularly Northern and Central Kazakhstan are plentiful, for the development of ecotourism in the area. However, 4 factors must never be forgotten [4]:
- the tourism must be kept small, so as not to cause unnecessary damage to nature;
- local communities must be included in the decision making process;
- foreign tourism must not be at the expense of domestic tourism;
- the environment must always come
