Abstract: The concept sustainable tourism does not work without monitoring, assessing and implementing indicators for a destination.

Consequently, the development of sustainable tourism indicators for the national parks have not developed conveniently.

This paper investigates the question of how to monitor sustainable tourism development in the Ile-Alatau state national park (hereafter the Park) in Kazakhstan. It describes some of the methodological tools used in the development of sustainable tourism development indicators. This paper is part of a PhD thesis and the research is not finished yet.
