London (IINA) - National Geographic Traveller of UK has announced its Cool List 2016, highlighting the 16 must-see destinations for the year ahead. Chosen by its team of editors and writers, the hotly anticipated list of countries and cities are revealed in the Jan/Feb 2016 issue of the magazine, which hit newsstand on Sunday.
Pat Riddell, editor, said, “We’ve scoured the planet for this year’s must-see destinations and come up with an eclectic list of top spots for culture, cuisine, festive celebrations, pristine coastline... and places to go. Some are obvious, some not so, but we think they should be top of anyone’s travels plans in 2016 — and beyond.”
Point 13 in the list is Kazakhstan's metropolis Almaty. The publication writes: "Kazakhstan’s largest city and cultural capital is in the middle of a wave of regeneration — and it’s seeking a reputation as a city of sports. In 2011, Almaty hosted the Asian Winter Games. The year 2017 sees it as host city for the Winter Universiade, with £626m being poured into development. Kazakhstan is also enticing UK tourists with a visa waiver programme that’s set to last until the end of 2017.
