NAKUBA uqikelelo olubi lwezoqoqosho, ishishini lokuhamba ngenqanawa likwimo entle yokujongana nokudodobala kwezoqoqosho, izithethi kwinkomfa yesikhephe eSeatrade eMiami zicebisile kule veki.
U-Gerry Cahill, umphathi olawulayo we-Carnival Cruise Lines, uthe eli shishini kufuneka lijongane nesikhukhula solwazi olubi malunga noqoqosho lwase-US, ngamaxabiso ezindlu asezantsi, uqikelelo olubi lokuqeshwa kunye nokuhla kwemarike yemasheya ye-15-20%, ishishini usebenze kakuhle ngexesha lokugqibela lokudodobala koqoqosho ngo-1990 nango-2001.
Ukuba abemi base-US babenyanzelekile ukuba bazincame ngenxa yezoqoqosho njengexabiso leoyile, babetshatile nakwimbono yeholide yonyaka, kwaye ishishini lokuhamba ngenqanawa lalinokuninzi ekunikezeleni ngexabiso lamava emali, uxelele abathunywa Indibano yonyaka yokuhamba ngeenqanawa eSeatrade eMiami.
Ulwazi olusandula ukwenziwa lubonisa ukuba, xa bejamelene nokwehla, abantu base-US abanamdla wokuthatha ikhefu lonyaka, kwaye iiholide zokuhamba ngenqanawa ziphakathi kwexabiso elifanelekileyo lemali ekhoyo, utshilo uMnu Cahill.
Ngokudityaniswa kwehlabathi kwicandelo lokuhamba ngenqanawa, amanye amazwe anikezela ngomthombo omtsha obalulekileyo wabahambi ngenqanawa, utshilo, njengoko kungqinwe kukunyuka okuphindwe kathathu kwenani labakhweli baseYurophu phakathi kuka-1995 no-2006, ngokweenkcukacha-manani zeEuropean Cruise Council.
Ukujonga ukubhukisha kwangaphambili kuka-2008 malunga nokuhlala kunye namaxabiso eCarnival naseRoyal Caribbean, ukuhamba ngenqanawa kufanele ukuba komelele, wayekholelwa.
Umongameli waseRoyal Caribbean u-Adam Goldstein wayekholelwa ukuba umyalezo weli shishini wokuba ubonelela ngexabiso lemali yenye yezona zinto zibalulekileyo anazo.
UColin Veitch akazange azive ukuba eli shishini kufuneka lixhalabise kakhulu malunga nokudodobala kwezoqoqosho, njengoko izinto ezisisiseko zokuhamba ngenqanawa zazihlala zilungile, nabantu abalupheleyo benengeniso ephezulu.
URick Sasso, umphathi oyintloko weMSC Cruises (USA) uxelele abathunywa ukuba amandla eshishini lokuhamba ngenqanawa ukujongana nabo bonke ubunzima kwiminyaka engama-40 yokukhula kwabo ibibalasele. EMntla Melika, uthe “yeyona kwaye iyeyona ndawo yentengiso ingene kakhulu kodwa iNyakatho Melika isangena.
Abaqhubi bexesha elizayo babandakanya utyalo-mali olubanzi olwenziwa kwiitoni ezintsha. I-MSC kuphela ityale i-E4bn kule minyaka mithathu idlulileyo, utshilo. Umkhweli wenqanawa ngoku wayefumana iinqanawa eziphindwe kabini kwisithuba ngomkhweli ngamnye kunakwiminyaka engama-20 eyadlulayo, watsho, kwaye iindidi zeempawu ezikhoyo zazithetha ukuba kukho into elungele yonke indlela yokuphila.
Uye wancoma italente ekhoyo kolu shishino, ngokudibanisa ulutsha kunye namava.
Ukuba ukuthunyelwa komthamo kwiCaribbean kwehlile ngandlel’ ithile kulo nyaka, izithethi ezininzi zivumile ukuba lo mmandla uhleli ungowona ndawo ubalaseleyo wokuhamba ngenqanawa ehlabathini nangona bekukho amathuba okulinganisa ishishini leCaribbean nezinye iimarike. Ukuba iinqanawa zokuhamba ngenqanawa zigqibe kwelokuba zibeke iinqanawa kwimarike yaseYurophu kunokuba zizishiye kwiCaribbean, oku yayingelulo uphawu lokungazithembi kuloo marike kodwa luphawu lokuzithemba eYurophu, utshilo uMnu Veitch.
Ukubeka iinqanawa zokuhamba ngenqanawa e-Asiya yenye indawo eqwalaselwa ziindlela zokuhamba ngenqanawa, nangona amaxabiso anokuba ngumcimbi, njengoko lalinjalo ixesha elithathwa ngabantu kwiiholide. Umnumzana Veitch uthe umdla wenkampani yakhe uyakhula eYurophu kodwa kwezo nkampani sele ziseYurophu, iAsia iya kungqina intengiso enomdla kuphuhliso.
Ngokuka Mnu.Goldstein, enye yeendlela zokuhamba ngeenqanawa yayikukuba "sisifo sokugula". Oku, ukuchaze njengotshintsho kwindlela abajonga ngayo abakhweli, ngelixa bezilungiselela ukuhlawula "idola ephezulu" babengakulungelanga ukwamkela unyawo olufanayo nolabanye abakhweli xa bengaphandle kweekhabhathi zabo.
Ukuba iiyadi zaseYurophu ziyaqhubeka nokulawula kwicandelo lokwakha iinqanawa, izithethi zivakalelwa kukuba akukho sizathu sokuba oku kungatshintshi, kodwa okwangoku iiyadi zeMpuma Ekude bezigcwele ngokupheleleyo ngokwakha iinqanawa kwamanye amacandelo eshishini lokuhambisa. Ukujongana nemiba njengokunciphisa ipetroli kunye nokuphatha inkunkuma ekufuneka kujongwene nayo kwimeko yokwakha iinqanawa.
UStein Kruse, umphathi olawulayo we Holland America Line uthe xa enikwa umngeni wemali oboniswe nge-dollar ebuthathaka kunye ne-euro eyomeleleyo, izindululo zokwakha iinqanawa ezivela kwiiyadi zaseAsia ziya kuba nomtsalane. Nangona kunjalo uziva ukuba ngelixa "iiseti zobuchule" zazifumaneka, iiyadi zaseAsia zazingekho apho ngokubhekisele kubukho beekhontrakthi ezincinci.
Kwakungekho nto ingako yokuphakamisa ukuba amaxabiso aphezulu epetroli azakutshintsha, utshilo umnumzana Kruse kwaye ishishini lokuhamba ngenqanawa laliphantsi koxinzelelo lokufumana iindlela zokonga ipetroli, nokuba kusetyenziswa ii-distillates, i-ayina ezibandayo, ukugqunywa kweenqanawa okanye urhwebo lokukhupha.
