Abstract:Kazakhstan is an economically stable country in Central Asia, which recently began to pay close attention to the development of tourism industry. It is fact that, tourism is not a major component of country's economy, as evidence, tourism industry GDP in Kazakhstan is $3.08 billion or 1.6 percent of total GDP. The combination of direct and indirect influence of the tourist-spending scheme determines the impact on the local economy. Usually not all the income received in every cycle of tourists' expenses is spent. The more the share of income spent within the region, the greater the multiplier effect. The ability to keep a travel in the region depends on the economic isolation of the area and the independence of the local economy. If the local economy is able to produce goods and services that are in demand among tourists, then the multiplier effect will be very significant. Based on the initial data and assumptions made, it is possible to calculate the magnitude of the indirect impact of tourism on the economy of the country and obtain a multiplicative effect of tourism. The multiplicative effect of tourism, calculated on this expression, will be of an evaluation nature, so it is advisable to use an expert approach when justifying a number of indicators included in the formula. The above methodological approaches to determine the multiplier effect and aggregate income from tourism are applicable to the conditions and standards of statistical reporting and information throughout the country.

International tourism is a major branch of the global economy and one of the leading directions of globalization. Under these conditions, the international program "The Economic Belt of the Great Silk Road" proposed by China became an important and timely initiative, bringing together the capabilities of individual participants in the tourist market within the framework of national programs. Kazakhstan's participation in the program provides an opportunity to use the tourist and recreational potential of the Great Silk Road heritage, to revive historical traditions, objects of material and spiritual culture, to actively participate in economic and cultural exchange, using its geopolitical position. One of the important conditions for successful implementation of the program is the availability of qualified tourist personnel, especially guide-interpreters, guides, mountain guides, etc., directly in contact with tourists. The authors consider the practice of preparing tour guides in Kazakhstan and other countries in the post-Soviet space, analyzing the quality of training, primarily from a security point of view. It justifies the need to improve the existing methodology, taking into account modern international experience and the need for professional tourist personnel to
