Ukuthengiswa kwezikhululo zeenqwelomoya zehlabathi kuqikelelwa ukuba kuya kufikelela kwi-48.2 yeebhiliyoni zeedola zaseMelika ngo-2020, inyuke nge-6.1% ngo-2019, ngokutsho kwedatha kunye neengcali zohlalutyo. Nangona kunjalo, ukunyuka kobunzima be intsholongwane ye-Corona ngoku inokuba nefuthe elibi kumanani abakhweli kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya - okubangela inkxalabo kubasebenzi besikhululo seenqwelomoya kunye nabathengisi.
Uthintelo lokuhamba kubathengi baseTshayina kuya kuba nefuthe ekusebenzeni kwesikhululo seenqwelomoya kwihlabathi liphela. Kule minyaka imbalwa idlulileyo abathengisi beenqwelo moya, ngakumbi abo baseYurophu, baye balungelelanisa iziphakamiso zabo, izisombululo zokuhlawula ezidibeneyo zaseTshayina kwaye batyala imali kubasebenzi abathetha isiMandarin ukujolisa abakhweli baseTshayina kwaye bandise amathuba okukhula kwentengiso. Ukuba ukhenketho oluphuma ngaphandle oluvela e-China luyabandezeleka ngenxa ye-coronavirus, abaqhubi beenqwelo moya kunye nabathengisi kufuneka bahlengahlengise izicwangciso zabo ukuze bajolise kwabanye abakhweli.
Ngo-2003, i-SARS yabangela ukuba inkcitho yokhenketho e-China yehle ngelixa amanani abakhenkethi abaya eThailand, eMalaysia, eSingapore naseHong Kong ehla kakhulu, nto leyo eyabangela ukuba iinqwelo-moya zehlise inqwelomoya kwaye zinciphise neshedyuli yokubhabha. ICoronavirus sele ikhuphe imali yokuthengisa kunye neyokuzonwabisa kuyo yonke iholide yoNyaka oMtsha waseTshayina ngenxa yokuba abathengi bayakhuthazwa, kwaye kwezinye iimeko bayanyanzelwa, ukuba bahlale kwaye baphephe ukuhamba.
Ukuphendula le ngxaki, abathengisi bacinga ukuvala iivenkile, kunye ne Iqela lase China laseSimahla Ukuvala i-mall yayo eHaitang Bay - okuchaphazela i-APAC duty free market ngo-2020. Ukuba ii-ofisi zangaphandle kufuneka zandise iingcebiso zazo zokunqanda ukuhamba ukuya kwiphondo laseHubei ukuya kweminye imimandla, ngoko ke amanani abakhweli kunye nezikhululo zeenqwelo moya kwiindawo zokhenketho ezifana neBeijing, iShanghai, iChengdu kunye neXi 'iza kubethwa kakubi. I-BA iye yanqumamisa zonke iinqwelomoya eziya ngqo kwilizwe laseTshayina kude kube yi-31 kaJanuwari, nangona i-website ye-BA ibonisa ukuba akukho nqwelomoya zisiya ngqo kwilizwe laseTshayina ukuya kutsho ngoJanuwari nangoFebruwari, ngelixa ezithandwayo ze-United Airlines kunye ne-Cathay Pacific Airways nazo ziye zarhoxisa iinqwelomoya ezikhethiweyo eziya e-China.
I-Asia Pacific kuqikelelwa ukuba ngowona mmandla ukhawulezayo wokuthengisa kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya ngo-2020, intengiso inyuke nge-8.4% ukuya kwi-US $ 21.7bn - 45.1% yejelo lehlabathi. Ngelixa oku kuqhambuka kwe-coronavirus yamva nje akunakuthelekiswa nefuthe le-SARS, ukuba i-coronavirus iyaqhubeka nokusasazeka kwihlabathi liphela ngo-2020 impembelelo yayo kukhenketho kunye noqoqosho, ngakumbi kwi-APAC iphela, inokuba mbi.
