\"\"ASTANA \u2013 The New York Times published on Jan. 9 its annual list of 52 travel destinations in 2024, featuring Kazakhstan\u2019s Almaty on the 25th spot.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
From the Portal Eclipse Festival in Mazatl\u00e1n in April to Yamaguchi city in Japan to Salar de Uyuni, the world\u2019s largest salt flat in Bolivia, the list highlights 52 destinations around the world that are recommended for travel in the upcoming year.<\/h5>\n
The selections are made by travel writers and experts, and they include a diverse range of locations, from popular tourist spots to off-the-beaten-path destinations.<\/h5>\n
With a population of two million, Kazakhstan\u2019s largest city \u201chas the feel of a peaceful but active rural town,\u201d writes author and photographer Craig Mod for The New York Times.<\/h5>\n
\u201cThe underground metro gleams with intricate tile work. The Arasan baths are the apotheosis of bathing pleasures: massages atop marble slabs, cold plunges, and unbearably hot saunas. Walk the leafy streets in an attentive mood and you\u2019ll find endless delights \u2013 like a mustachioed man playing the accordion in front of the kaleidoscopic Ascension Cathedral,\u201d he wrote.<\/h5>\n
Mod noted that Almaty\u2019s status as a cultural hub is underscored by its diverse food scene. The \u201cneo-nomad\u201d cuisine, focused on flour, water, and meat, takes center stage in hyper-contemporary establishments such as Auyl and T\u00f6r.<\/h5>\n
\u201cCuisine from northwest China is on offer at Lanzhou Noodle and great coffee at Sensilyo Coffee or JumpinGoat. Gaze upon the patchwork quilt of fruits and nuts splayed out at the Green Bazaar \u2013 and then try Platform A, a large food hall that recently opened inside a Soviet Modernist building,\u201d he added.<\/h5>\n
Kazakh Vice Minister of Tourism and Sports Yerzhan Yerkinbayev said that Kazakhstan has increasingly been included in global rankings in recent years.<\/h5>\n
\u201cBeing included in The New York Times\u2019 list indicates the growing interest of tourists in our country,\u201d he said.<\/h5>\n
Almaty is the only representative from Central Asia in this ranking. In 2017, Kazakhstan was included in this list on the eve of the EXPO 2017.<\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
