Ecotourism in Kazakhstan has huge potential but remains underdeveloped. This research aims to study the use of modern management techniques to promote and develop ecotourism in Kazakhstan. The methods used include a literature review of research on ecotourism management, a comparative analysis of Kazakhstan’s ecotourism industry versus other countries, and a SWOT analysis of Kazakhstan's ecotourism. Key findings show Kazakhstan has abundant natural resources for ecotourism but lacks infrastructure, government support, and effective policies. Recommendations include designating ecotourism development areas, simplifying visa policies, building transportation networks, and launching marketing campaigns. A proposed management model incorporates public-private partnerships, sustainable practices, community involvement, and monitoring systems. More research on specific regions and target groups would further aid development of this promising industry.
