Landscape of the Mangystau Region in Kazakhstan as a Geomorphotourism Destination: A Geographical Review

The Mangystau region in Kazakhstan exhibits significant potential for geomorphotourism, offering diverse landscapes with natural, cultural, and historical values. A geographical review highlights that the region's geomorphic landforms could serve as key attractions for ecotourism and geomorphotourism, provided there is adequate management and investment. The study emphasizes the importance of preserving the natural environment and sustaining tourism resources through initiatives like the UNESCO Geoparks development program. This approach aligns with global trends in geomorphotourism, which are more advanced in industrialized nations but underdeveloped in Kazakhstan due to limited information and infrastructure.
