KITF 2026 in Almaty: the main tourism event in Central Asia

In the spring of 2026, Almaty will once again confirm its status as the business and tourist center of the region. From April 22 to 24, the Atakent IEC exhibition complex will host the Kazakhstan International Tourism Fair (KITF) 2026, one of the largest international exhibitions in the field of tourism and travel in Central Asia.

A meeting point for the tourist world

KITF is more than an exhibition. It is a key professional platform where tour operators, airlines, hotels, national tourist offices and industry experts meet. Every year, the event attracts thousands of participants and visitors from dozens of countries, turning Almaty into a point of intersection of global tourist routes.

The exhibition stands present:

• international and regional tour operators,

• airlines and airports,

• hotel chains and resorts,

• new destinations and travel products.

Why KITF is important for Almaty

Holding KITF in Almaty is a strategic advantage for the city. The exhibition strengthens its image as a center of business and event tourism, as well as contributes to the development of international partnerships.

For the city, this means:

• growth of business tourism,

• influx of professional audience and investors,

• Expansion of the tourist calendar of the spring season.

For participants, it is an opportunity to directly present their products, establish contacts and follow global travel trends.

Interesting not only for professionals

Although KITF is primarily focused on the industry, the exhibition traditionally arouses interest among the general public. Travelers come here for inspiration, ideas for future trips, special offers and direct communication with representatives of tourist destinations.

For guests of the city, KITF is a great reason to combine a business trip with walks around Spring Almaty, visiting museums, cafes and mountain resorts, which are especially picturesque at this time.

Kazakhstan International Tourism Fair 2026 is an event that once again emphasizes the role of Almaty as a tourist gateway to Central Asia. New routes are formed here, partnerships are made and ideas for future travel are born – and the city itself becomes an important part of the global tourism dialogue.
