Kazakhstan presents a growing appeal for Turkish visitors, characterized by its diverse cultural landscapes and natural wonders. While the number of tourists is currently modest, the country has significant potential to attract some of the 2.7 million Turks who travel abroad annually.
Kazakhstan is generally considered a relatively safe destination for tourists, including those coming from Türkiye. According to the Global Peace Index, Kazakhstan ranks 57th out of 160 countries, which is significantly safer than Türkiye, ranked 137th. While specific data on crime rates in Kazakhstan is limited, the murder rate in Kazakhstan is 3.2 per 100,000 people, compared to Türkiye's 2.5. However, when looking at organized crime indices, Kazakhstan scores better than Türkiye in several categories, such as mafia groups (Kazakhstan 3.5 vs. Türkiye 8.0) and arms trafficking (Kazakhstan 2.0 vs. Türkiye 9.0). Overall, while both countries have their safety concerns, Kazakhstan is perceived as a safer option for tourists compared to Türkiye based on available statistics.
