I-European Tour Operators Association (ETOA) ipapashe ingxelo eqinisa izigqibo zophononongo eyapapashwa kwiminyaka emibini edlulileyo yokuba ukusingatha iMidlalo yeOlimpiki kudla ngokudodobalisa ukukhula kokhenketho.
Iingxelo zivela e-China zokuba iihotele ezisanda kwakhiwa zimi zingenanto xa kujongwana iMidlalo yeOlimpiki. Idatha yamva nje evela eGrisi nase-Australia icebisa ukuba ukhenketho kwilizwe eliza kubanjelwa kulo lwenzakaliswa nangaphezulu kunesixeko esisindleke (njengoko kubonisiwe kwigrafu engezantsi).
IGrisi ayiphumelelanga ukugcina isantya kunye nabakhuphisana nabo abahamba phambili, iCroatia kunye neTurkey, kwaye i-gap yokusebenza iyanda ngokukhula kokufika kweendwendwe ezilandela iTurkey ngaphezu kwe-20% / ngonyaka ukususela kwii-Olimpiki zase-Athens.
Kungekudala emva kokuba iSydney isingathe iiOlimpiki zowama-2000, yaqhuba iphulo lokubhengeza elijolise kukhenketho elalinomxholo othi “Uphi Esi Sihogo Segazi?” kunye noChristopher Brown umlawuli olawulayo weForam yezoKhenketho nezoThutho yaseOstreliya, wathi, “Bambalwa abakhenkethi kwiminyaka emihlanu emva kweMidlalo kunangaphambili.” Ukulandela iiOlimpiki zowama-2000, abatyeleli eOstreliya banqabile iminyaka emithathu ilandelelana, ngelixa ukhenketho olusiya kwindawo ekhuphisana nayo, iNew Zealand, lwaqhubeka lukhula ngokungaguqukiyo.
Amazinga okuhlala eBeijing ayehla, nawo. NgeMidlalo engaphantsi kweenyanga ezimbini kude, ngaphantsi kwe-50% yeenkwenkwezi ezine kwaye ngaphantsi kwe-80% yamagumbi ehotele e-Beijing yeenkwenkwezi ezintlanu zibhukisiwe, ngokutsho kwe-Beijing Tourist Bureau.
Njengoko ezi ziphumo zibonakala ziphikisana, unokuzibuza ukuba kuqhubeka ntoni emhlabeni. UTom Jenkins, umlawuli olawulayo we-ETOA uchaze, "Ingxaki ephambili kuluvo lokuba yonke into iya kugcwala kwaye ibe nexabiso elingaphezulu, kwaye oku kuyonakalisa indawo."
Kwakhona, ukususa iindwendwe kwilizwe kunempembelelo eyingozi kwimfuno elandelayo. Eyona nto ibalulekileyo ekhuthaza abatyeleli lilizwi lomlomo; le ndlela yokuthengisa ilahlekelwa ngamandla njengoko iindwendwe zithintelwa. Ukungabikho kwabo kukucinezela ukuthengisa.
UTom Jenkins uqukumbele ngokubonisa ukuba oko kuye kwabonwa kwisixeko emva kwesixeko kwii-Olimpiki ezidlulileyo, zilindelo ezingenakwenzeka, ekugqibeleni zidibene neentsilelo zangempela kwimfuno. Kukho imfuneko egameni labaxhasi ukuba bathethelele yonke imali echithwe kwiMidlalo - kwaye ngempazamo bafikelela kukhenketho njengoko kuthetheleleka. "Abakhenkethi abangaphakathi ayisiyiyo 'pro quo' kuyo yonke le 'quid'."
