More than a quarter of respondents (27.4%) did not travel to other countries on tourist trips before October 2015. And 24.2% do not plan to leave Kazakhstan in 2016. And the share of “non-travelers” among low-income respondents exceeds 40%.

The leadership of Kyrgyzstan (Issyk-Kul) and Russia in this list is quite explainable by their proximity and long-standing traditions, family ties. It is worth noting that among those surveyed in Almaty and Shymkent, there are more of those who travel to Kyrgyzstan than among those surveyed in other cities.

From our list, we included here: Thailand, Vietnam, Greece, Bulgaria, Spain, Italy, the Czech Republic, and the Dominican Republic. So, the survey shows that up to October 2015, these countries were visited by a total of 5% of respondents. But in 2016, these countries are planned to be visited by a total of 17.2% of respondents.
