This article discusses the main advantages of the development of agrotourism in the zone of the food belt in Astana. The region is distinguished by its advantageous near capital position and the optimal combination of natural, agricultural and socio-economic resources. The development of agrotourism, as a relatively new type of recreation, is relevant and promising for almost all areas included in the food belt, since agricultural producers participating in the formation of the food belt of the capital are potential objects for the development of agrotourism. Successfully functioning tourist-excursion routes of agrotourism in the domestic tourist market have been identified. An analysis of the prerequisites for the development of agrotourism allows us to conclude that development in the food belt is quite promising.
