Successful businesses often begin with a simple observation: what do people need?

The main activity of IE Yarmak is the supply of equipment and special-purpose machinery to the divisions of Kazakhmys Corporation LLP. However, the entrepreneur did not limit himself to developing his existing business and decided to address another important need in the region.

With the establishment of the Ulytau Region and Zhezkazgan becoming its administrative center, business and tourism activity in the city increased significantly. Zhezkazgan began welcoming more tourists, business partners, participants of various events and visitors from other regions of Kazakhstan.

At the same time, the city's hotel infrastructure did not fully meet the growing demand. There was a shortage of comfortable accommodation for visitors, while the region's continued development required modern hospitality infrastructure.

Oleg Yarmak recognized this need and saw an opportunity to develop a new direction for his business.

This led to the idea of creating a modern hotel and restaurant complex that would combine comfortable accommodation, quality service and restaurant facilities in one place while meeting the needs of the city's visitors.

This is how The Voyage began to develop.

Today, The Voyage is a place where comfort, hospitality and quality service come together. The hotel offers comfortable rooms for visitors to the city, while the restaurant provides a welcoming atmosphere for business meetings, family dinners and special occasions.

For Oleg Yarmak, The Voyage is more than just a new business project. It is an opportunity to contribute to the development of Zhezkazgan and the Ulytau Region by creating comfortable conditions for tourists, business travelers and everyone who comes to the region for work or leisure.

Support from the Damu Entrepreneurship Development Fund played an important role in bringing the entrepreneur's plans to life. Government support instruments, including subsidized financing, guarantees and preferential lending, helped Oleg Yarmak implement his idea, strengthen the new business and continue its development.

Behind every successful project is a unique journey — one shaped by decisions, responsibility, investment, daily hard work and, most importantly, belief in one's business.

The story of Oleg Yarmak is an example of how entrepreneurial initiative and the ability to recognize the needs of one's region can grow into a sustainable and in-demand business.

“The most important thing is not to be afraid to grow and to believe in what you do.”
