The Burabay resort area will have a direct air route connecting it to Astana, Akmola Region Akim (Governor) Marat Akhmetzhanov announced at a Central Communications Service briefing today, Kazinform News Agency reports.
He highlighted that the project is part of the region’s 2029 Development Plan and aims to boost the region’s appeal as a premier travel destination in Kazakhstan.
