An ethnic village at Kyrchyn is set to become a year-round destination for visitors, according to Altynbek Maksutov, director of the World Nomad Games.

Maksutov said the current village, opened for the sixth World Nomad Games, represents only about 10% of the planned project. Authorities plan to transform 52 hectares of land, expand the site and add infrastructure for tourists, including measures to address mud, a lack of facilities and other problems that currently arise during events.

The future ethnic village will charge an entrance fee. The existing complex includes about 500 yurts grouped into 15 yurt settlements, as well as an ethnic market built with mud structures in a traditional style.

More than 200,000 people, including many foreign tourists, visited the complex during its first three days. The village is scheduled to close temporarily for one day on Sept. 6 before reopening and continuing operations through Sept. 10.
