The Ministry of Tourism and Sports of the Republic of Kazakhstan (MTS RK; Kazakh: Қазақстан Республикасы Туризм және спорт министрлігі, ҚР ТСМ; Russian: Министерство туризма и спорта Республики Казахстан, МТС РК) is the ministry under the Government of Kazakhstan responsible for state policy, regulation, and intersectoral coordination in the fields of tourism, physical culture, and sports.
History
The Ministry of Tourism and Sports of the Republic of Kazakhstan was established on 27 March 2006 by Presidential Decree No. 73, signed by President Nursultan Nazarbayev. The decree reorganized the Ministry of Culture, Information and Sports by dividing it into two separate bodies—the Ministry of Culture and Information and the newly created Ministry of Tourism and Sports. It also transferred tourism-development functions from the Ministry of Industry and Trade to the new ministry. As part of the restructuring, the Committee on Sports Affairs was abolished, and the ministry assumed full responsibility for state policy in tourism and sports.[1] Temirkhan Dosmukhambetov was appointed the first Minister of Tourism and Sports.[2]
On 20 January 2012, the Ministry under Presidential Decree No. 226 was reorganized into the Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan for Sports and Physical Culture with transfer of functions and powers in the field of tourism activity to the Ministry of Industry and New Technologies.[3]
On 1 September 2023, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev signed a Presidential Decree No. reorganizing the Ministry of Culture and Sports. As part of this restructuring, the ministry was divided and the Ministry of Tourism and Sports was re-established as an independent central executive body.[4] Ermek Marjyqpaev was appointed on 2 September as the first minister of the re-established ministry.[5]
