Niihara International Announces Rosa Parks Spirit Award Honor for Founder and CEO Dr. Yutaka Niihara

Published

June 24, 2026

By

Niihara International announced that its Founder and CEO, Dr. Yutaka Niihara, has been awarded the Rosa Parks Spirit Award by the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self Development. The honor recognizes his long-standing commitment to improving care and treatment options for patients with sickle cell disease, particularly those affected by health disparities. The Company continues to advance therapies, including L-glutamine treatment, aimed at reducing complications and addressing unmet medical needs in rare diseases.

Irvine, California – June 23, 2026 – Niihara International, Inc. (“Niihara International” or the “Company”), a development-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on therapies for rare and orphan diseases, today announced that its Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Yutaka Niihara, M.D., has been awarded the Rosa Parks Spirit Award by the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self Development, the only organization founded by civil rights icon Rosa Parks.

The Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self Development, co‑founded by Rosa Parks and Elaine Eason Steele in 1987, is dedicated to educating and motivating youth and adults for self and community betterment and continues Mrs. Parks’ legacy as a global symbol of courage and human rights. The Rosa Parks Spirit Award is presented on a selective basis to individuals and partners whose work reflects Mrs. Parks’ belief that “we are here on Planet Earth to live, grow up, and do what we can to make the world a better place for all people to enjoy freedom,” including freedom from injustice and inequity.

In presenting the Rosa Parks Spirit Award to Dr. Niihara, a representative of the Institute cited his more than decade‑long commitment to improving the lives of patients with sickle cell disease, particularly those facing significant health disparities and barriers to care. The presentation acknowledged Dr. Niihara’s role in bringing broader attention to the burden of pain experienced by sickle cell patients and his sustained efforts to develop and advance treatment options for this historically underserved population.

“This recognition from the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self Development is deeply humbling,” said Dr. Yutaka Niihara. “Rosa Parks devoted her life to the cause of human dignity and equal opportunity, and I am honored that our work on behalf of sickle cell patients has been associated with her legacy. We remain committed to developing therapies that can help reduce suffering and address the persistent inequities faced by patients and families around the world.”

Niihara International is focused on the development, commercialization, and distribution of innovative therapies for rare and orphan diseases, including its initial product candidate, a generic prescription‑grade L‑glutamine oral powder designed to reduce acute complications associated with sickle cell disease in patients ages five years and older. L‑glutamine therapy has been recognized as an important option within a limited range of treatments available to sickle cell patients and reflects the Company’s mission to target serious unmet medical needs.

Niihara International’s efforts build on a growing body of clinical and real‑world evidence demonstrating that pharmaceutical‑grade L‑glutamine can reduce the frequency of painful vaso‑occlusive crises in sickle cell disease and offer meaningful benefits in a population that has historically had few therapeutic choices. The Company intends to continue advancing its product and pipeline strategy while seeking collaborations that align with its commitment to patient‑centered innovation and health equity.

The Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self Development was co‑founded in 1987 by Rosa Parks and Elaine Eason Steele to educate and motivate youth and adults, particularly African American communities, for self and community betterment. Based in Detroit, Michigan, the Institute sponsors programs that promote civil rights education, leadership development, and civic engagement, continuing the legacy of Rosa Parks, widely known as the “Mother of the Civil Rights Movement.”

Kazakhstan Climbs 28 Places in Global Tourism Ranking

Published

June 24, 2026

By

Kazakhstan continues to strengthen its position on the regional tourism map. In recent years, the sector has demonstrated steady growth, with tourism activity increasing across nearly all key indicators. Following strong growth in 2025, the positive trend has continued into 2026.

According to the latest data, nearly 2 million guests were accommodated at tourism establishments across Kazakhstan during the first quarter of 2026. The value of services provided exceeded 69 billion tenge, representing a 14% increase compared to the same period last year. The volume index of tourism services reached 104.5%, indicating not only higher prices but also genuine growth in tourism activity.

Domestic tourism has shown particularly strong momentum. During the first quarter of 2026, the number of Kazakh citizens using accommodation services within the country increased by 3.6%. This reflects growing interest among residents in travelling within Kazakhstan and points to ongoing improvements in tourism infrastructure, a broader range of services, and the increasing attractiveness of domestic destinations. As a result, domestic tourism is becoming one of the key drivers of the sector, stimulating regional economic activity, creating jobs, and supporting the growth of small and medium-sized businesses.

At the regional level, Almaty remained the leading destination, welcoming 472,900 visitors during January–March 2026. It was followed by Astana with 352,200 visitors and the Akmola Region with 161,100 visitors. Approximately 40% of all visitors were concentrated in resort areas, amounting to more than 800,000 people, highlighting the growing importance of recreational tourism and strong demand for domestic holiday destinations.

The positive trends are consistent with the priorities outlined by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, who has repeatedly emphasised the importance of tourism development, including in his 2025 State of the Nation Address, where he highlighted the Almaty tourism cluster and the strategic significance of the sector.

Tourism infrastructure continues to expand. Kazakhstan now has more than 4,500 accommodation facilities, employing around 31,000 people. Three years ago, the country had approximately 3,800 accommodation facilities and 28,000 employees in the sector. This represents growth of 17% in accommodation capacity and 12% in employment, underscoring the sector’s increasing contribution to the national economy.

Tourism’s contribution to Kazakhstan’s economy continues to grow. In 2025, the sector generated 5 trillion tenge and accounted for 3.1% of GDP. More than 600,000 people are now employed in tourism-related activities, representing around 7% of total national employment. According to Tourism and Sports Minister Yerbol Myrzabossynov, foreign visitors spent US$2.9 billion in Kazakhstan in 2025, while tax revenues generated by tourism increased by 18% to 630 billion tenge, raising the sector’s share of total tax revenues to 2%.

These results reflect sustained efforts by both the government and private sector to develop tourism infrastructure, improve transport connectivity, enhance service quality, and promote Kazakhstan internationally. Investment in the tourism sector reached 1.3 trillion tenge in 2025, up 33% year-on-year. At the same time, government spending on culture, sport, tourism, and information policy reached a record 1.2 trillion tenge.

Legislative reforms have also been introduced. Amendments adopted in March 2026 include a “green corridor” mechanism for tourist buses to reduce border crossing times for organised groups, the formal recognition of visitor centres, and the introduction of unified standards for guides, tour leaders, and tourism instructors. Additional measures support children’s and eco-tourism, including free access to national parks for visitors under the age of 18.

The development of the tourism sector is being guided by Kazakhstan’s Tourism Industry Development Concept for 2023–2029. A key objective remains attracting more international visitors through visa liberalisation, expanded international air connectivity, and stronger promotion of Kazakhstan abroad. Citizens of 84 countries can currently enter Kazakhstan visa-free, while an electronic visa system is available to citizens of 102 countries. Kazakhstan is connected to 30 countries through 626 weekly flights operating across 135 international routes.

Infrastructure development also continues at pace. In 2025 alone, 96 tourism infrastructure projects worth 167.4 billion tenge were implemented, while government support measures for the sector totalled approximately 7 billion tenge. These figures demonstrate that tourism has become one of the priority sectors of Kazakhstan’s economic policy.

The sector’s progress is increasingly reflected in international rankings. One of the most important benchmarks is the Travel & Tourism Development Index published by the World Economic Forum, which assesses tourism infrastructure, investment attractiveness, and readiness for sustainable tourism development. Kazakhstan ranked 80th in 2019 with a score of 3.7, improved to 66th in 2021, and reached 52nd place in 2024 with a score of 4.1. Overall, Kazakhstan climbed 28 places in just five years, representing one of the most significant improvements in the region.

The country has also improved its standing in the tourism and culture category of rankings published by U.S. News & World Report. Kazakhstan ranked 73rd in 2025, improving by 11 places over three years. Notably, Kazakhstan has narrowed the gap with regional competitors and now ranks seven places ahead of Uzbekistan, while also outperforming countries such as Qatar, Bahrain, Tunisia, and Vietnam.

Overall, international rankings confirm that Kazakhstan’s tourism sector is not only expanding quantitatively but also strengthening its competitiveness globally. Improvements in international indices reflect broader progress in infrastructure, service quality, investment attractiveness, and tourism promotion, reinforcing Kazakhstan’s emergence as one of the most promising tourism destinations in Central Asia.
