Kazakhstan is currently considering launching direct flights to Israel following the introduction of an open skies policy at 11 airports and restoring international flights with 28 countries on 102 routes, QazMonitor reports citing the press service of the Ministry of Culture and Sport.
The idea became the main topic of discussion in a meeting between the Minister of Culture and Sports Dauren Abayev and the Minister of Tourism of Israel Yoel Razvozov.
The establishment of direct flights with Israel will contribute to the development of the tourism and transit potential of Kazakhstan, as well as cultural cooperation, trade and economic cooperation. Presently, there is visa-free entry to Kazakhstan for citizens of Israel. Our Ministry jointly with the authorized bodies will study this issue.

In particular, he announced that the base of 183 investment projects has already been formed with consideration of favorable conditions for investors in the tourism sphere. The investment threshold was also decreased and different privileges in form of VAT exemption were granted.
