The Business and Industry Department of the Aktyubinsk Oblast is an executive body which co-ordinates implementation of the Action Plan under the Programme on Tourism Development in the region. Special attention is paid to the establishing of the tourism infrastructure and mapping out inbound and outbound tourist routes. Aktyubinsk Oblast is attractive for investment, and a lot of business people know it. A convenient geographical location of the Oblast is emphasised by the transportation network and a broad range of telecommunication opportunities. The Oblast’s area is 300,000 sq. km, and it is located on the ancient land, at the point where two continents, Europe and Asia, meet. Versatile natural landscapes – wooded gorges with fast rivers in the north of the Oblast, plains in the middle, sand-dunes, lifeless saladas (saltwater lakes) and desolate takyrs (claypan deserts) in the south allows to develop different kinds of tourism. Routes for tourists who come to Kazakhstan from the west will go across the steppe expanses of Aktyubinsk Oblast where they will have an opportunity to meet unique archaeological, geological and natural monuments, history and culture of the friendly and hospitable people. The Oblast’s centre, Aktobe – a modern business-oriented city with proper recreation and entertainment infrastructure for tourists – holds the annual tourist fair every May, Recreation – Summer 2006: Tourism, Travel, Sport. Travel firms in Aktobe organise tours and trips to sights and welcome co-operation in organising unforgettable trips in Aktyubinsk Oblast.
