Kwilinge lokusinda kwingxaki yezoqoqosho kunye nokwehla kwedola yaseMelika, ishishini lezokhenketho laseChile landise ukunyuselwa kukhenketho kuzwelonke olujolise kubakhenkethi basekhaya nabangaphandle.
Umzi-mveliso wokhenketho waseChile uphakathi kwezona zithwaxwa kakhulu yile ngxaki, ngokuncipha kweepesenti ezili-10 kubakhenkethi bamanye amazwe kulo nyaka uphelileyo. Ngelo xesha, inani labahlali basekuhlaleni abakhetha ukuhamba ngaphakathi kweChile likhule ngeepesenti ezilithoba.
Ukususela ekuqaleni kwentlekele ngo-2008 iihotele kunye neenqwelomoya ziye zahlanganisa iiphakheji ezikhethekileyo ezikhuthaza iindawo zaseChile, izibonelelo eziye zaqala ukubonisa. Ukuza kuthi ga ngoSeptemba, indawo ebekelwe inqwelo moya eLan Chile ukuze ihambe kweli lizwe inyuke ngeepesenti ezingama-20 xa kuthelekiswa nexesha elifanayo ngowama-2008.
Noko ke, izinto zisenokutshintsha. NgokukaMaritza Cartagena, umphathi weemveliso e-Cocha, i-arhente yokuhamba yase-Chile, ukuhla kwexabiso langoku kwi-dollar yase-US kukhokelele abaninzi abakhenkethi baseChile ukuba bacinge ukuya kwiindawo ezingaphandle kweChile. “Oku akuzukuchaphazela ukuthengiswa kwenkampani yethu, kuba abo bebeceba ukuhamba eChile baya kukhetha ukuya phesheya endaweni yoko,” utshilo uCartagena. Kodwa ngokucacileyo ayizukunceda ingeniso yokhenketho ngaphakathi kweChile.
Ngelixa ezinye iindawo zibone ukwanda kwezokhenketho, ezinye njengesixeko esisemazantsi ePunta Arenas (iNgingqi XII) ziye zabethwa ngamandla yingxaki yezoqoqosho.
IPunta Arenas inyuselwa njengendawo yenqanawa yokuhamba ngenqanawa yaseChile kwabo batyhola iAntarctic, kodwa ishiyeke kakhulu emva komlingane wayo waseArgentina, u-Ushuaia. Ngelixa i-237 amawaka abakhenkethi benqanawa abahamba ngeenqanawa batyelele e-Ushuaia kwisizini edlulileyo kuphela i-87 lamawaka etyelele ePunta Arenas. Eli xesha lonyaka inani liwile kwiindwendwe ezingamawaka angama-71.
"Inzuzo ephambili i-Ushuaia ine-Punta Arenas kukuba ithatha iintsuku ezimbini ngokuchasene nezintathu ukuya e-Antarctic," kusho u-Alejandro Riquelme, umongameli wengingqi we-Production and Commerce Confederation. Kodwa kukwakho nezinye izibonelelo ezibonelelwayo kwisixeko saseArgentina apho iinqanawa zokuhamba ngenqanawa zingarhafiswa. Kwakhona, oorhulumente bommandla [waseChile] nowesizwe abatyali mali ingako kwingingqi yaseMagallanes. E-Ushuaia kukho indawo yokukhwela inqanawa, isikhululo seenqwelomoya samazwe ngamazwe kunye ne-marina, zonke zixhaswa ngurhulumente kwaye zabelwe amashishini abucala. "
Akumangalisi ke ukuba ngaphezu kweepesenti ze-90 zezithuthi phakathi kwelizwekazi kunye ne-Antarctic zenzeka ukusuka kunye ukuya e-Ushuaia.
