Agro-ecological tourism in Kazakhstan faces a critical problem in providing adequate infrastructure to showcase natural and agricultural processes to visitors. This issue arises due to the lack of well-developed construction infrastructure and utility mains in the areas where such facilities need to be located. This challenge also means that building structures that meet the specifics of agroecological tourism activities in these locations becomes significantly challenging and expensive. A potential solution to this problem is the use of shipping containers. These units are strong, have water-proof external surfaces, are easy to assemble in most landscape environments, and do not require major foundations, thereby ensuring minimum impact on the surroundings. Shipping containers can be used as single units or in multiples, combining them to create meaningful and interesting structures for promoting agro-ecological tourism in Kazakhstan. This paper offers layout options for such facilities, demonstrating the potential of using shipping containers to provide suitable infrastructure for agro-ecological tourism activities in Kazakhstan. This innovative approach can pave the way for developing sustainable tourism in Kazakhstan and contribute to economic growth.
