Opportunities for the development of health tourism in the Uygur district of Almaty region
The health of the nation is one of the main priorities of the state development of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and health prevention is a key component of the complex of forming a healthy nation. One of the important elements in the system of prevention and restoration of human health is the possibility of developing health tourism based on existing natural and recreational resources. The article discusses the possibilities of developing health tourism and a spa complex in the Uygur district of the Almaty region based on available hot mineral springs. The vast territory of Kazakhstan, the complex geomorphological structure of the territory, its location in various flat high-altitude climatic zones and zones determines the diverse potential for the development of medical tourism in the country. One of the potential conditions for spa treatment in the country is the availability of mineral healing waters and the development of balneological resorts, where mineral waters are used as a priority medical factor (both for internal and external use). Based on this, the goal of the study was set: to study the possibility of developing health tourism and a spa complex in the Uygur district of Almaty region based on available hot mineral springs. From time immemorial, hot springs have been used to treat sick people (Roman, Tbilisi, i.e. Georgian baths), the corresponding areas of medicine are called balneology. The same sources exist in large numbers in Kazakhstan, including in Chunj. Chunja is a village in the Republic of Kazakhstan, the center of the Uygur district of Almaty region. All hot open springs in Chunj are fed by water, which is heated by magmatic intrusions in the area of active volcanism. Mineral thermal springs, hot springs of Chunji village are divided into warm from 20 to 37° C, and hot 37 – 50 degrees and very hot from 50 to 100° degrees. In the areas of hot springs in the village of Chunja, there are many recreation areas, sanatoriums and recreation centers. Particular attention is paid to the healing properties of thermal springs, as well as the need to organize a system of spa treatment and the construction of specialized medical institutions in the study area.
