Abstract

Globally, cultural heritage tourism (CHT) is an effective way to achieve economic benefits by preserving and sharing a city's heritage and culture with visitors. Therefore, it is very important to study the impact of historical and cultural heritage sites on the sustainable development of local tourism. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of the Khoja Ahmed Yasawi Mausoleum, a UNESCO heritage site in Kazakhstan, on sustainable tourism development in Turkestan. The study was based on a survey aimed at identifying the goals of tourists (respondents) visiting Turkestan city, the main objects they would like to see as a tourist destination, and their opportunities for sustainable development of urban tourism. The questionnaire responses were analysed based on the coding of respondents (R1-R328) who were randomly selected. As a result, 40.8% of respondents from near and far abroad (47) and Kazakhstan (281) found that the purpose of the visit was historical and cultural tourism. 78.7% of respondents assessed the tourism potential of the Mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi as high in terms of sustainable tourism development in Turkestan. Thus, being one of the most famous architectural monuments of Central Asia and an example of modern Kazakh architecture, the mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi is a cultural and historical object that affects the sustainable development of tourism in Turkestan. This study will help to solve the problems of sustainable tourism development in Turkestan.

研究教科文组织遗产地对可持续旅游业发展的影响：土耳其 KHOJA AHMED YASAWI 陵墓案例研究

在全球范围内，文化遗产旅游（CHT）是通过保护城市遗产和文化并与游客分享来实现经济效益的有效途径。因此，研究历史文化遗址对当地旅游业可持续发展的影响非常重要。本研究旨在调查哈萨克斯坦的联合国教科文组织遗产 Khoja Ahmed Yasawi 陵墓对突厥斯坦旅游业可持续发展的影响。该研究基于一项调查，旨在确定游客（受访者）访问突厥斯坦城市的目标、他们希望看到的旅游目的地的主要对象以及城市旅游可持续发展的机遇。根据随机抽取的受访者（R1-R328）的编码对问卷答复进行了分析。结果显示，40.8%的远近国外受访者（47 人）和哈萨克斯坦受访者（281 人）认为此行的目的是历史文化旅游。78.7%的受访者认为霍贾-艾哈迈德-亚沙维陵墓在突厥斯坦旅游可持续发展方面具有很高的旅游潜力。因此，作为中亚最著名的建筑遗迹之一和哈萨克现代建筑的典范，霍贾-艾哈迈德-亚萨维陵墓是影响突厥斯坦旅游业可持续发展的文化和历史遗产。这项研究将有助于解决突厥斯坦旅游业可持续发展的问题。
