Xa irhafu entsha yaseNew York kubathengisi begumbi lehotele yaqala ukusebenza ngoSeptemba woku-1, yabeka uxanduva kwiinkampani zokuhamba nge-intanethi, abakhenkethi, abathengisi kunye neearhente zokuhamba ukuba babhalisele, babale kwaye bafake irhafu abaninzi kubo abangazange bahlangabezane nayo ngaphambili. ekubhukisheni nayiphi na enye indawo yokufikela.
Ngaphezu koko, ukungakholiswa kwabo yirhafu kwakhula njengoko isixeko sasikhupha isikhokelo ngendlela yokuthobela.
UPaul Ruden, usekela mongameli omkhulu we-ASTA kwimicimbi yezomthetho kunye neshishini, ubize isikhokelo sesi sixeko "asiphelelanga, asihambelani kwaye asimkelekanga."
Ngokomzekelo, uRuden uthe, "Ixelela abantu ukuba bathenga kwabanye abathengisi kwakhona kufuneka bafake i-15% markup kwi-70% yezinga eliphakathi. Ngaba unayo nayiphi na ingcamango yokuba i-arhente yokuhamba ingayifumana njani loo nto? Yintoni igumbi eliphakathi? Andazi ukuba iiarhente zokuhamba zinokuthobela njani na loo mgaqo, kwaye isiphumo kukuba zinokuphicothwa. Le asiyondlela yokuqhuba umzila kaloliwe.”
Irhafu yabarhwebi behotele yatyikitywa ibe ngumthetho nguSodolophu uMichael Bloomberg nge-29 kaJuni njengesilungiso kwirhafu ekhoyo yaseNew York yokuhlala ehotele. Ifuna abathengisi bamagumbi ehotele aseNew York ukuba bakhuphe irhafu esekelwe kwisixa esipheleleyo esihlawulwe ngumthengi “njengemeko yokuhlala,” kuquka imirhumo yenkonzo kunye neentlawulo.
Ngokwengxelo yesebe lezemali yesixeko yenkqubo yophicotho lwerhafu, ayizizo zonke iifizi zenkonzo kunye neentlawulo ezinxulumene nokubhukisha igumbi ehotele ziya kuba phantsi kwerhafu.
Uxwebhu lwathi "intlawulo yokuncedisa i-arhente," okanye intlawulo ehlawulwayo xa umntu esebenzisa "umqhubi ophilayo" ukubhukisha igumbi, yayingumzekelo wentlawulo yenkonzo engaqwalaselwanga njengemeko yokuhlala. Ikwachaze ukuba “imirhumo yephakheji elungiselelweyo,” okanye imirhumo yokuphanda ngehotele kumxhasi njengenxalenye yephakheji “enemixholo,” ayisayi kuthathwa njengemeko yokuhlala.
Isiteyitimenti sesixeko sikwazamile ukucacisa ukuba abaphakeji mababale njani inxalenye yehotele yepakethe xa ixabiso lempahla nganye lisaziwa: “Irenti eyongezelelweyo erhafiswayo iya kusekelwa kumyinge weendleko zehoseyile yegumbi lehotele ukuya kwiindleko zehoseyile. kuwo onke amacandelo epakethe aphindaphindwe ngophawu lulonke lwephakheji. ”
Ngokuka-Owen Stone, isithethi sesebe lezemali, le fomula "isekelwe kwimodeli yeshishini esele isetyenziselwa ukuhamba ngenqwelomoya."
URose Hache, igqwetha lokuhamba elilungu lebhari eNew York naseTexas, uthe, "Ndicinga ukuba irhafu ayilunganga kwaye ayilawuleki, kwaye akukho ndlela yokwazi kwangaphambili isixa sokwenyani sentengiselwano. ”
Ngaphaya koko, wongeze wathi, “Ndicinga ukuba kukwaphulwa kwemigaqo yorhwebo kunye nenkqubo efanelekileyo, ethintela ukunyanzeliswa kwerhafu yentengiso yelizwe ngaphandle kwelizwe. Into esinayo sisiXeko saseNew York sirhafisa iarhente yokuhamba ehleli eHouston, e-Indianapolis okanye eSan Francisco ngentengiselwano, elurhwebo phakathi kwamazwe.
Abameli babakhenkethi kunye nabanye abapakishi nabo bavakalise inkxalabo.
Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, zonke iirhafu zendawo yokuhlala beziqokelelwa kakhulu ziihotele ngexesha amagumbi athengiswayo, utshilo uSteve Richer, igqwetha lemicimbi yoluntu kuMbutho weSizwe woKhenketho. “Ukuba umkhenkethi e-Arizona uqhuba ukhenketho eCalifornia, irhafu iqokelelwa ziindawo ezizindwendwelayo. Akukho mfuneko yokuba babuyele emva bayokubala irhafu abayihlawulayo ekutyeni abakutyileyo. Indawo yokutyela iyayiqokelela.
“Sijonge ukwandiswa komsitho ohlawulelwa irhafu. Yiyo yonke indawo entsha leyo. Kwaye iphakamisa imibuzo emininzi, ngakumbi kubasebenzi nakwabanye ngoku [abaphantsi kwale rhafu] ababekade bengekho ngaphambili.”
Imibutho yezokhenketho ayisokoli nje kuphela ukunxibelelana namalungu ayo ngendlela yokuthobela irhafu abangayiqondi ngokupheleleyo; bakwaxhalabile ukuba irhafu yomthengisi waseNew York inokubangela umkhwa ombi.
“Abantu banezinto ezininzi ezahlukeneyo ekufuneka bezifundile ukuba oku kuya kuqhubeka,” utshilo uRicher. "Ukuba oku kuba yinto eqhelekileyo, iya kuba nzima, inganyamezeleki kakhulu. Ukuba iba ngamakhulu emimandla yokufaka irhafu kwizinto ezahlukeneyo kukhenketho ... khawucinge nje ngabo bonke abantu ekufuneka abaqeshe ukuze bafumanise oko. ”
Igqwetha lokuhamba uMark Pestronk, obhala ikholamu ye-Travel Weekly's Legal Briefs, uthe isixeko asizange siwuqonde umahluko phakathi kwe-markups kumthengisi okanye imodeli ye-arhente kunye neentengiso ze-intanethi.
Uthe unethemba lokuba iiarhente eziphambili ze-Intanethi ziyakuqala ukuhlawula irhafu emva koko "zifumane iingcaciso kwaye zifumane iimpendulo ezichanekileyo."
Ukuza kuthi ga ngelo xesha, uPestronk wathi, “Ekuphela kwento enobulumko onokuyenza kukubhalisa kwaye uqale ukuqokelela kunye nokuhlawula irhafu kwimirhumo yakho yenkonzo ehlawula umrhumo wephakheji yehotele. Nali icebiso elilungileyo: Cinga ngokubiza umrhumo onguziro ngenxalenye yehotele ebhukishelweyo.”
UStone uthe naliphi na ishishini elinemibuzo malunga nokuba kufuneka babhalise okanye hayi kufuneka liqhagamshelane nesebe lezemali laseNew York.
