www.obk.kz: Almaty has a single smart card for tourists-Almaty CityPASS

With the help of" Almaty CityPASS", tourists will be able to conveniently visit the sights, museums and excursions of the southern capital for three days and save a lot of time and money. 12 tourist sites in Almaty are already connected to the map. The tourist will also be able to purchase a CityPASS with a transport card "ONAY", for movement between objects on public transport. "We are talking about launching a smart card in Almaty, similar to those that already exist in the largest cities and tourist centers of the world - new York, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Paris, Berlin, London, Oslo and others. This is the second smart card of a tourist that is being launched in Kazakhstan. CityPass already exists in Astana, and in the future it is planned to launch in the Shchuchinsk-Borovskoy resort area. Given the availability of such maps in almost all major cities of the world, I believe that our cities and tourist centers should not be an exception, "said Rashid Kuzembayev, Chairman of the Board of JSC "NC" Kazakh Tourism". The CityPASS kit includes: smart card - a plastic card with a microchip for access to attractions. a guide with a description of the city and links to audio guides of attractions and tourist routes in Kazakh, Russian and English. detailed map of the city. sim card with the "Welcome" tariff plan. transport card "onai" (option). The "CityPASS Kazakhstan" project was launched with the support of "NC "Kazakh Tourism" JSC and "Astana Convention Bureau" LLP last year in Astana. In 2017, more than 30 thousand Astana CityPASS cards were sold. For more information, please call: 8(7172) 47-85-65 or on the site.
