QStat

Travel statistics of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan, 2015–2025

We collected the figures from open official sources: national statistics offices, UN Tourism and the World Bank. Every figure links to its source. Countries count visitors differently, so each chart says what exactly each country counts.

Every figure has been checked twice: values from statistics offices’ tables and the World Bank API were re-read from the primary source, figures from press releases and media were matched against a second independent source.

Data updated: 10.10.2026

Turkmenistan publishes almost no tourism statistics.

Foreign arrivals

How many foreigners come to the country each year

Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan publish all border crossings by foreigners (Kazakhstan since 2024). Uzbekistan and Tajikistan count those who entered for tourism. Early years are UN Tourism data via the World Bank. Trends within a country are therefore more reliable than levels across countries.
