Abstract:
Many people see tourism as travelling, relaxing, getting new
experiences and having a good time. However, considering it from different
perspective, tourism can be developed and be related to other things. Current
research is dedicated to one of the types of tourism - scientific tourism. After
researching and defining the word “scientific tourism”, it has been considered as a
new type of tourism. The classification of scientific tourism depends on the mission
of that tourism. The result has shown that there are two types of scientific tourism:
expedition and individual. The modern classification of these two types of scientific
tourism is considered as introductory or educational. The research has shown that
Kazakhstan has enough resources to develop scientific tourism. As an example,
Baikonur Cosmodrome has been considered for future scientific and space tourism.
