IVictoria Cliff Resort, indawo entsha yokuntywila ngokuntywila emanzini kwiMergui Archipelago 'icinga kwihlabathi liphela, isebenza apha' ukukhuthaza ukhenketho oluzinzileyo eMyanmar, njengoko uKeith Lyons efumanisa.

Enye yeendawo zokuqala zokuntywila nge-snorkeling kunye nediving eMergui Archipelago ijongene nemiceli mngeni yokuhambisa amava e-Instagram ngelixa uphucula ukhuselo lokusingqongileyo kwisiqithi esikude kuLwandle iAndaman. IVictoria Cliff Irizothi kwisiqithi saseNyaung Oo Phee, kunxweme olusemazantsi eMyanmar naseThailand, izakuvulwa ngokusesikweni kwinyanga ezayo nguMphathiswa Wezokhenketho eMyanmar, kodwa indawo efanelekileyo yokuchithela ulwandle ithathe isiqingatha seminyaka elishumi ukuba izalisekise.

Yonke into ibinzima kakhulu kunokuba bekulindelwe, kwaye iindleko beziphezulu kakhulu kunakwilizwekazi, utshilo u-CEO we-Victoria Cliff u-Alfred Sui, owafumana isiqeshiso sesi siqithi ngo-2013. Kuthathe iminyaka emibini ukufumana imvume yetente kunye ne-villa resort urhulumente waseMyanmar. Ibhili yenyanga ye-intanethi ye-intanethi yesiqithi esikude ukubonelela nge-wifi kubasebenzi kunye neendwendwe yi-US $ 2,600. “Kuye kwafuneka ukuba senze yonke into ngokwethu, kubandakanya nokufumana amanzi aselwayo kumthombo wendalo, kunye nokwenza umbane wethu sisebenzisa umzi-mveliso welanga. Ukubangabokuqala kweli chwebakazi, nokukhokela, khange kube lula, kodwa senze kwalula kwabanye ukuba balandele. ”

Isiqithi esigutyungelwe lihlathi, esasifudula sisaziwa njengesiqithi saseMcKenzie ukusuka kumaxesha eBurma yobukoloniyali, silele kummandla ongaphandle weziqithi ezingama-800 ezenza iMergui Archipelago, indawo eyayingaphandle komda kubo bonke ebudeni benkulungwane yokugqibela. Kwakusekupheleni kweminyaka yoo-1990 apho amaphenyane okuntywila angaphandle avunyelweyo ukuba angene kwezopolitiko. Ukuphawulwa kweziqithi ezimbalwa ezikhethiweyo zophuhliso kuqale kuphela kule minyaka ilishumi, kwaye indawo yokuqala yokuhlala kwisiqithi, iMyanmar Andaman Resort, ayisathathi zindwendwe, sele itshintshele ekubambeni abahamba ngemini kwizikhephe ezinkulu ezili-1500 ezisuka eSingapore, eMalaysia naseThailand. Indawo yokuqala yokwenyani ye-eco-resort, iBoulder Island Eco-Resort, ngoku ikwixesha lesithathu, ngelixa kwiinyanga ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo iiholide ezintsha zeAli Ale kunye neAwei Pila zifumene iindwendwe zabo zokuqala.

Ngomhlaba wayo othambileyo ombala wekhorali, amanzi acocekileyo afudumeleyo, kunye neentlanzi ezininzi zetropiki kubandakanya i-iconic 'Nemo' clownfish, indawo eyayingahlali abantu ngaphambili, eshinyeneyo enehlathi elimbozwe yiNyaung Oo Phee inokubonakala ngathi sisiqithi separadesi, kodwa ukufumana ulungelelwaniso phakathi kwabakhenkethi amabango, urhulumente red-tape, ushishino lokuloba kunye nolondolozo lwendalo akubanga lula. USui uthi isiqithi sakhe sokuqala asikhethileyo wanikwa elinye iqela elinonxibelelwano olungcono kunye nabenzi bezigqibo, isenzo esiqhelekileyo phakathi kwamashumi eminyaka yolawulo lwaseMyanmar apho 'ubungxowankulu obuninzi' babusenziwa ngaphandle kokubonakala. Ukulandela unyulo lwentando yesininzi eMyanmar ngo-2015, ukunqongophala kokuqiniseka malunga nendima noxanduva lukarhulumente wengingqi kunye nolwazelelo kuthintele inkqubo.

Ngaphandle kobunzima, uSui wanyamezeleka, eqhutywa ngumnqweno wakhe wokwenza ishishini lokhenketho oluzinzileyo kwingingqi eyayiphethwe ngamashishini axhaphazayo, ukuthutyeleziswa kweemarike ezimnyama kunye nokuphuma kwabasebenzi abafudukayo abafuna ubomi obungcono eThailand ekufuphi. Ngelixa amagosa aseburhulumenteni kwikomkhulu laseNaypyidaw ebengazi ukuba ungubani kwaye emjonga enesikrokro, uSui uthi uhlolo lwesiza seshishini lakhe lutshintshe iingqondo zezopolitiko kunye nabasebenzi bakarhulumente.

Umzi mveliso wokuloba wasekhaya, ongomnye wabaqeshi abaphambili kulo mmandla, kodwa enetyala lokuzingela ngokungekho mthethweni kunye nokuloba ngokungekho mthethweni, ikwaqala ngokubona ukusekwa kwee-eco-resorts kunye nemisebenzi yamanzi kubakhenkethi njengesoyikiso. “Asikhuphisani nabalobi, sinentsebenziswano. Imalunga nokwakha ubudlelwane kunye nemfundo nolwazi. ”

USui uthi ukufika kwakhe okokuqala kweli chwebakazi, kwabakho ubungqina bokusetyenziswa kwedynamite ekulobeni ngokuloba, enemingxunya emikhulu kumatye ekorale. Ukujikeleza okungcono komkhosi wasemanzini waseMyanmar kuthetha ukuba i-dynamite ayisasetyenziselwa ukubulala nokubambisa ubomi baselwandle, kodwa uthi indawo yokuphumla izama ukufundisa abalobi balapha malunga nokungathathi iintlanzi eziphantsi ukuze kugcinwe iintlanzi, kwaye kungonakalisi Ikorale. Indawo yokuphumla iye yakha ukuhamba ngephenyane ukuze izikhephe kungafuneki zirhuqe ii-ankile zazo kwikorale, kwaye abalobi abavunyelwe ukuloba kwiindawo eziphambili zokubhenela. Sibhenela kwikamva labo, kwinto abayigqithisela kwizizukulwana ezizayo. Kuba ukuba iilwandle ziyalotywa ngaphandle, ukuba imithi iyagawulwa, akukho kamva. Zonke ziya kube zingasekho. ”

Ukholelwa ekubeni ubukho bendawo yokuphumla buncede ekukhuseleni iintlanzi ezijikeleze esi siqithi, kwaye indawo yokuphumla iseke amatye amatsha okwenzela ukubuyisela iindawo ezonakaliswe kukuqhushumba. Phambi kokuba indawo yokuhlala ithathe iindwendwe zayo zokuqala, ukucoca izinto eziselwandle ezisuswe ngobunono, iiplastikhi ezihlanjwe kuwo wonke uMazantsi mpuma eAsia, kunye nemikhosi yokuloba yemimoya. Olona lwandle luseMantla eNyaung Oo Phee lucocwa kathathu ngemini, ngayo yonke inkunkuma ebuyiselwe kwilizwekazi ukuze iphinde isetyenziswe kwakhona.

Ngelixa abakhenkethi baseAsia ngoku, ngakumbi abo baseThailand bonwabela ukungena simahla eMyanmar, benza iipesenti ezingama-80 zabahambi bemini okanye abalala ubusuku eNyaung Oo Phee ngexesha lika-Okthobha ukuya kuMeyi, uSui unethemba lokuba abantu baseNtshona bazakufumana esi siqithi. Abantu baseYurophu bayayiqonda imeko yokusingqongileyo, utshilo, njengokuqaphela ukuba ungonakalisi okanye ukhumbuze ikorale, kwaye ukhethe iibhotile zamanzi ezizalisekayo kuneebhotile zeplastiki ezizisebenzisayo.

Ngelixa indawo yokuphumla e-Nyaung Oo Phee eneentente zayo zamahlathi kunye neendawo zokuhlala ezingaselunxwemeni inika iindwendwe ukufikelela ngokulula kweembadada kunxweme lolwandle olunentlabathi emhlophe, ziimitha nje ezimbalwa nonxweme kunye nohambo olufutshane ngephenyane kubuncwane bokwenene besiqithi, ilizwe elingaphantsi kolwandle. Uvavanyo olwenziwe ngo-2018 olwenziwa yiFauna & Flora International luqikelela ukuba iintlobo ezingama-300 zekorale zifunyanwa kulo lonke eli chwebakazi, elisasazeka ngama-400km ukusuka emantla ukuya emazantsi, kwaye mhlawumbi ngaphezulu kwe-600 yeentlobo zeentlanzi ezihlala kwiingqaqa nakwii-atolls. Amaqela, i-snappers, i-emperors, i-butterfly fish kunye ne-parrotfish ziqhelekile malunga ne-Nyuang Oo Phee, kunye ne-'Nemo 'clownfish eyahlukileyo, kunye ne-snorkelers kunye nabanye abahlukeneyo banokumangaliswa kwitafile, ityhubhu, ihadi, i-staghorn, i-tigerclaw kunye ne-coral seafan coral.

Phantse abantu abangama-300 baqeshiwe kwesi siqithi nakwihotele yakhe iVictoria Cliff eKawthaung, kwaye uSui unethemba lokuba kwilizwekazi, ukhenketho olusekwe ekuhlaleni, umdla kunye nemisebenzi iya kunika iindwendwe izizathu ezingakumbi zokuhlala kwicala laseMyanmar lomda, endaweni yoko kunokuba nje uze uhambo losuku ukusuka kwizibuko laseThai laseRanong, ukunqumla ichweba lomlambo. “Ezi ziqithi zibonelela ngobuhle bendalo obungafumanekiyo kwenye indawo e-Asiya, kwaye nokungabinabantu abaninzi nokungaphuhli kakhulu. Naluphi na uphuhliso lufuna ukulawulwa, ukuze luhlale lulungile.
