Tourism and Geospatial Technologies

First and second-year master’s students in the Tourism programme at Al-Farabi Kazakh National University visited the Farabi GIS Geospatial Science Center. The educational visit was initiated and supported by A. E. Moldagaliyeva, with the students accompanied by their instructor, I. K. Satkali.

The center’s research involves geographic information systems, Earth observation data, and spatial analysis methods. These technologies support the study of natural processes, environmental monitoring, and territorial assessment.

During the visit, students explored projects on soil erosion and desertification assessment, moraine lake monitoring, and natural hazard research. They also viewed satellite models and learned about the use of space technologies in scientific research.

The visit deepened their understanding of how geospatial technologies can support tourism resource mapping, route planning, and the safety and sustainable development of tourism destinations.

We thank the center’s specialists for an informative visit and their warm welcome!
