Abstract: Recreational services for the population are one of the most important socio-economic activities of modern society. The result in the field of recreation is expressed in improving the population’s health, reducing morbidity, and increasing both the time of active human life and its duration. Only proper rest allows one to ensure intensive work, successfully adapt to stressful conditions, and contribute to overall progress in production and the economy as a whole. Kazakhstan pays serious attention to this sector. Despite the difficulties of the transition period following the republic’s independence, a trend is gradually emerging towards an increase in the number of sanatoriums, rest homes, tourist centers, children's camps, and other health and treatment institutions, expanding their capacity, improving the quality of service, and developing infrastructure. The potential for further development of the recreational and tourism sector in Kazakhstan is quite significant, especially in relation to water bodies.
