Wanderlust, a prominent British travel magazine, has ranked Kazakhstan among the five most desirable emerging destinations, whereas Air Astana has made it into the top 10 favorite airlines, according to the magazine’s readers.
The results of the 23rd Annual Wanderlust Reader Travel Awards were announced on Nov. 6. In the Most Desirable Emerging Destination nomination, Kazakhstan claimed the 5th spot, after Uzbekistan (first place), Albania, Qatar and Azerbaijan.
Furthermore, the magazine highlighted Air Astana, which secured the ninth position in the Favourite Airline nomination. Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines and Turkish Airlines were also among the selected airlines.
The magazine’s readers were those who decided which directions, travel agents, airlines and tourist brands would win among the 22 nominations. The survey united 168,000 Wanderlust readers from around the world.
In late October, Kursiv LifeStyle covered the topic and revealed what Kazakhstan can learn from Uzbekistan’s tourist experience.
