The excitement among Kazakh youth is soaring as the Kazakhstan Tourism Year unfolds in China. Rafael Bekshentayev, a graduate from Renmin University of China and a native of Kazakhstan, shared his insights with CGTN's Enoch Wong, highlighting the enthusiasm sparked by the 24th Meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO).
The simultaneous celebration of the Kazakhstan Tourism Year in China is set to strengthen bilateral ties through enhanced cultural exchange and mutual understanding. Since the initiation of visa-free travel in late 2023, tourism between the two nations is expected to soar, allowing more Chinese visitors to explore Kazakhstan firsthand.
This surge in tourism not only fosters deeper connections between Kazakhstan and China but also paves the way for long-term cooperation and economic growth. The young generation is particularly optimistic about the opportunities that increased tourism and cultural interactions will bring to both countries.
