Foresight-Driven Pathways for Circular Economy Integration: Kazakhstan's Food and Tourism Sectors
Year: 2025
Language: English
Country: Kazakhstan

The SWITCH-Asia Programme presents the project “Strategic Foresight into Circular Economies in Central Asia in Tourism and Hospitality with a Food Angle,” an initiative designed to support Central Asian countries in their transition toward a low-carbon, resource-efficient, and circular economy. Focusing on Kazakhstan, the project applies a strategic foresight approach to assess opportunities and challenges in the tourism and hospitality sector—particularly in food and beverage production and consumption—develop future-oriented scenarios, and formulate policy and institutional recommendations to guide decision-making. Based on these scenarios, the report outlines practical and feasible policy recommendations for the Republic of Kazakhstan, taking into account risks, available resources, and cross-sectoral linkages, with the objective of enabling a structured transition toward circular tourism over the next 10–15 years, while strengthening sustainability and environmental performance in the food sector.
