"In his program article 'The Course towards Future: Modernization of Public Conscience' the Head of State pays special attention to restoring historical complexes of our native land to show them to the world. And most of the country's archaeological heritage is in the South-Kazakhstan region. Therefore, in order to preserve this ancient heritage, it is necessary to build new buildings and structures in accordance with international standards so they stay for centuries. This should increase the number of tourists," Mr. Tuimebayev said.

In connection with the approach of Expo-2017, the head of the region instructed to firstly accelerate the process of implementing projects in Turkestan and Otyrar district, which will make a great contribution to the development of tourism.
