Kazakhstan plans to transform decommissioned facilities at Baikonur Cosmodrome into a vibrant tourism ecosystem, focusing on iconic sites like Gagarin’s launchpad. The government aims to develop infrastructure for year-round tourism, including hotels and immersive experiences. The tourism concept is set for approval, with a vision to inspire visitors about space exploration. By 2029, Baikonur could welcome up to 50,000 visitors annually, with various tourism types being developed, including educational and adventure tours. The initiative aligns with Kazakhstan's broader space strategy, aiming to commercialize Soyuz launches by 2028.
