Abstract
For many years, the goal of training professional guides in Kazakhstan has not found its cardinal solution. Back in September 2009, summing up the results of the session of the World Tourism Organization held in Astana, the first President of the Republic of Kazakhstan noted that within the framework of tourism development in the country, it is urgently necessary to solve this problem. The same calls, ten years later, were made in the State Program for the Development of the tourism industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2019-2025. This article is devoted to the actual problem of training subjects of tourist activity- guides and guides. As a research task, the authors determined an attempt to evaluate the existing experience of the Kazakh Academy of Sports and Tourism in the training of future guides with the prospect of its dissemination in the curricula of faculties and departments of tourism, training specialized specialists.
