The Umbutho woKhenketho weHlabathi (UNWTO) yi-arhente yeZizwe eziManyeneyo enoxanduva lokukhuthaza ukhenketho olunoxanduva, oluzinzileyo, nolufikeleleka kwihlabathi liphela. Ngemeko yangoku yehlabathi, kuyimfuneko UNWTO iinkokeli ukuba zicinge ngaphaya kwee-ajenda zezopolitiko.
I-Bahrain iyavuya ukutyumba UYE u-Mai Al Khalifa ukukhuphisana kwisikhundla sikaNobhala Jikelele we UNWTO. Ukholelwa ukuba ungoyena mntu uya kukwazi ukukhokela ukhenketho ukuphuma kule ngxaki yehlabathi. Ukuba unyuliwe, uya kuba ngumfazi wokuqala ukukhokela le arhente yehlabathi edibeneyo ne-UN.
HE Mai Al Khalifa ucinga UNWTO kufuneka iququzelele amandla aMazwe angamaLungu ukubandakanya ukhenketho kulawulo lwentlekele kunye nezicwangciso zelizwe zokunciphisa umngcipheko.
Uthi: “Noko ke, kucacile ukuba UNWTOUkukwazi ukuphendula ngokufanelekileyo kwintlekele okwangoku kuthintelwa yinkxaso-mali ezimeleyo. Ndikhokelwa ngamanye amalinge ayimpumelelo kwinkqubo ye-UN (umzekelo i-World Heritage International Assistance Scheme), ndicebisa uphuhliso UNWTO INgxowa-mali yoNcedo ukuxhasa aMalungu aPheleleyo naManyano nawo UNWTO ukulungiselela ungenelelo olungxamisekileyo. Ndibe nempumelelo enkulu kwindima yam ngoku ekufumaneni imali-mboleko yexesha elide enenzala ephantsi kunye nenkxaso-mali kwiibhanki nakwii-arhente ezibonelela ngenkxaso-mali ezinxulumene neemeko ezinjalo.”
Ezokhenketho ngumba ophambili "wokuphelisa intlupheko", "ukulingana ngokwesini" kunye "nomsebenzi onesidima kunye nokukhula kwezoqoqosho". Amandla okhenketho kukuba licandelo elibonakalayo elinokuqaqambisa kwi-microcosm enokuthi ifezekiswe kwimeko ebanzi.
Ukugqwesa kwakhe ucinga ukuba ifuthe lokhenketho kutshintsho lwemozulu akufuneki lithathelwe phantsi.
Indawo ekusingwa kuyo ngobuchule kunye nenguqu yedijithali kufuneka ihlale i UNWTO into ephambili.
Into ephambili iya kuba kukukhuthaza amazwe angengawo amalungu ukuba ajoyine; vuselela UNWTO njengombutho obandakanyayo nothethathethwano olusebenzayo kuwo onke amalungu; ubonelele ngoluhlu olubanzi lweenzuzo ezinokuboniswa kula malungu; kunye nokwandisa, ukwahluka kunye nokuphinda kuqikelelwe isigunyaziso sobulungu obumanyeneyo.
Ngokwembono yendima yakhe yangoku njengoSihlalo we-UNESCO Arab Regional Centre for World Heritage (ARC-WH), unokubona ngokucacileyo ukuba zininzi iintsebenziswano ezinokwakhela phezu kwazo phakathi kwesigunyaziso UNWTO kunye nezo zezinye ii-arhente ze-UN.
Obekekileyo uyaqonda ukuba ngamazwe angama-35 kuphela akwiqela laMazwe eBhunga lesiGqeba UNWTO, kwaye la ngamazwe aya kuvotela oyena mgqatswa ubalaseleyo. Ukholelwa ukuba amazwe angamalungu eBhunga eliLawulayo anoxanduva olukhethekileyo ngaphakathi kwesakhelo soMbutho weZizwe eziManyeneyo woKhenketho lweHlabathi, kwaye bayaqonda ukuba inkqubo yokuvota ayenzelwanga kuxhamlo oluqukayo lwaloo malungu kodwa ibonakalisa iminqweno yabo bonke. UNWTO amazwe angamalungu.
Ke ngoko, u-Mai Mai Kalifa uthembisa ukuba nguNobhala Jikelele wawo onke amazwe angama-159 angamalungu. Ngokukodwa amazwe amancinci eziqithi kunye namazwe axhomekeke kwezokhenketho afuna inkxaso yehlabathi. Ukuhlonipheka kwakhe kuyakholelwa, "Sonke sikunye oku," kwaye oku kubandakanya kakhulu icandelo labucala eliqhuba inkqubo yokwakha kwakhona.
U-HE Mai Khalifa uye wafikelela kwiinkokeli zezokhenketho kwihlabathi jikelele ukumamela izimvo zabo malunga nemeko yangoku yohambo kunye nokhenketho. Uye wafikelela kuGloria Guevara, iCEO yeBhunga leHlabathi lokuHamba noKhenketho (WTTC); Cuthbert Ncube, uSihlalo weBhodi yezoKhenketho yase-Afrika (i-ATB); UMphathiswa wezoKhenketho u-Edmund Bartlett waseJamaica oyintloko yeGlobal Tourism Resilience and Crisis Centre; kunye nezinye ezininzi.

INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- Guided by other successful initiatives within the UN system (for example the World Heritage International Assistance Scheme), I recommend the development of a UNWTO INgxowa-mali yoNcedo ukuxhasa aMalungu aPheleleyo naManyano nawo UNWTO to cater for emergency interventions.
- HE believes Executive Council member states have a special responsibility within the United Nations World Tourism Organization framework, and they understand the voting system is not meant for inclusive benefits of such members but to reflect the wishes of all UNWTO amazwe angamalungu.
- Ngokwembono yendima yakhe yangoku njengoSihlalo we-UNESCO Arab Regional Centre for World Heritage (ARC-WH), unokubona ngokucacileyo ukuba zininzi iintsebenziswano ezinokwakhela phezu kwazo phakathi kwesigunyaziso UNWTO kunye nezo zezinye ii-arhente ze-UN.
