Kazahkstan Tourism is on the Increase

Apparently the number of tourists going to Kazahkstan is on the increase according to this article on the BBC.

But Foreign Minister Yerzhan Kazykhanov told politicians on Monday, 23 April: “With the release of this film, the number of visas issued by Kazakhstan grew tenfold.

“I am grateful to ‘Borat’ for helping attract tourists to Kazakhstan.”

It probably shows that we don’t use humour enough to promote things.

On the other hand, some of the travel programs made by comedians like Billy Connolly, Mike Palin and Gryff Rhys-Jones have probably done a log to promote some of the more unusual places  in both the UK and the wider world.
