Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The article analyzes the dynamics and geographical structure of international tourist flows to Kazakhstan in 2019–2024. The purpose of the study is to identify temporal changes in tourist flows based on official statistical data and to demonstrate their spatial distribution by main countries of origin through cartographic modeling. The research methodology includes statistical analysis, comparative analysis, and cartographic visualization methods based on geographic information systems. The analysis revealed that tourist flows significantly decreased during the pandemic period, and a recovery trend was observed in 2023–2024. Russia, Uzbekistan, China, Germany, the USA, India, and Iran were identified as the main tourist markets for Kazakhstan. The compiled flow maps allow us to visually demonstrate the spatial directions of tourist movement. The results of the study can be used to plan tourism infrastructure, improve marketing strategies, and justify tourism policy
