That means Kazakhstan (Kazakhstan of all places) will have as many Hyatt properties as Spain, Portugal, and Italy combined: 1
Most of former Soviet Republics have at least 1 Hyatt.
That's pretty sad.
EDIT: Doing some research it seems Hyatt is chasing special events. Almaty will host the 2017 Winter Universiade. They also built a Hyatt in Sochi for the Olympics. And, Hyatt planned two hotels in Vladivostok for the 2012 APEC. Those still aren't open.
