Iikhandleli zeenqanawa zitshixelwe ngaphandle kweshishini lokuhamba ngenqanawa ngenxa yokusilela ukufikelela kwimigangatho yobonelelo lwamazwe ngamazwe.
Ababoneleli balapha bahlala bevaleleke ngokupheleleyo kwishishini ngenxa yemigangatho engqongqo yamazwe ngamazwe kumgangatho weempahla ezithengwa zii-luxury cruise liners.
Okusemngciphekweni zizigidi zeerandi ezichithwa ngabaqhubi beenqanawa zabakhweli kumalungiselelo kuwo onke amanqanaba angundoqo ohambo lwabo. Iilayini ezinkulu zokuhamba ngenqanawa ezinje ngePv Marco Polo okanye iPv Queen Elizabeth II ezityelele eMombasa amatyeli aliqela ziihotele ezineenkwenkwezi ezintlanu ngokwenqanaba kwaye zithwele abakhweli abangama-600 kunye ne-1,200 ngokulandelelanayo.
Kodwa abaqhubi beenqanawa eMombasa bathi banyanzelwa ukuba bashiye ecaleni kwaye babukele njengoko izinto ezisisiseko ezinjengokutya, iziqhamo kunye namanzi anezimbiwa ziziswa yonke indlela ukusuka eMzantsi Afrika ukuya kwiinqanawa zokuhamba ngenqanawa ngalo lonke ixesha besiza befowunela kwaye befika edokini. Berth I kwizibuko laseKenya.
“Kunika umdla ukuqaphela ukuba izinto ezithengiweyo ezinokuthengwa apha ekhaya ziziswa ngababoneleli abavela eMzantsi Afrika okanye eSingapore. Siphulukene kakhulu njengama-chandlers nanjengelizwe, ”utshilo uMnu Roshanali Pradhan, unobhala weKenya Ship Chandlers Association (KSCA).
UPradhan uthe esinye sezizathu ezibangela ukuba abahambi ngenqanawa bakuphephe ukufumana iimpahla zabo eKenya kungenxa yokuba izinto ezifumaneka kwiimarike zasekhaya azikho mgangathweni.
Enye into yeyokuba imeko imbi yeemarike zeziqhamo nemifuno ezifana neKongowea.
“Njengomthengisi weenqanawa, andinako ukuyiphatha iKongowea. Ngokwemigangatho yamazwe ngamazwe, kuyingozi kwaye iBhunga likaMasipala waseMombasa libonakala lingakhathaleli intengiso ngokuqinisekisa ucoceko, ”wongeze watsho.
Usihlalo we-Kenya Association of Tour Operators (KATO), uNksz Tasneem Adamji, uvumile ukuba ababoneleli abaninzi basekhaya abakwazi ukuzalisekisa iimfuno ezingqongqo kukhuseleko kunye nococeko ezinyanzeliswa lushishino lokhenketho lokuhamba ngenqanawa.
Nangona, u-Adamji esithi le ngxaki kufuneka iqondwe ngendlela eyiyo, uthe ixesha lonyaka kwishishini lenze kwanzima kubantu baseKenya, abavelisa intengiso yangaphandle, ukuzisa isabelo semveliso yabo eMombasa kwiinqanawa zokuhamba ngenqanawa.
“Ndicinga ukuba eyona ngxaki iphambili kukuba akukho nkxaso yaneleyo yokukhuthaza utyelelo lokuhamba ngenqanawa, nto leyo enokuthi itsale amashishini okubonelela,” utshilo.
Kumgangatho wemveliso yalapha ekhaya, ukhethe ii-orenji athe zikumgangatho ophantsi kwaye uninzi lwababoneleli baye bakhuthazwa ukuba bazijonge ngaphandle ukuba bacelwe ukuba babonelele ngenqanawa yokuhamba ngenqanawa kunye neendawo ezithile ezijolise kubakhenkethi basekhaya.
Uthe iimango zaseKenya kunye namapayinapile bezikumgangatho olungileyo wokuthumela ngaphandle, kodwa uninzi lwabavelisi / abathengisi bakhetha ukuthumela ngaphandle malunga neepesenti ezingama-99 zemveliso yabo kwiManyano yaseYurophu, phakathi kwezinye iindawo, bengashiyi sabelo sokuhamba ngeenqanawa zokuhamba.
Oku kungenxa yokuba iinqanawa zokuhamba ngenqanawa azibizi kwizibuko unyaka wonke, okanye rhoqo.
Ingxaki ingasonjululwa kuphela ngokuthengisa iKenya ukuba bahambe ngokhenketho ngamandla kunye nokusebenzisana nezinye iindawo kulo mmandla, utshilo, esongeza ukuba inyathelo le-Indian Ocean Cruise Tourism Promotion - elidibanisa amazwe amathandathu aseMpuma Afrika kunye neziqithi - ibonelela elona thuba kwaye izibuko kufuneka libe ndlongondlongo.
U-Adamji, ongumlawuli olawulayo we-Africa Quest Safaris kunye nelungu lebhodi ye-Kenya Tourism Federation (KTF), uvakalise ukungoneliseki linyathelo elicothayo le-Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) ekuphumezeni isibonelelo esicetywayo sokuphatha iinqanawa zale mihla e-Berth I, e kulindeleke ukuba itsale iinqanawa ezininzi xa sele iqalile ukusebenza.
Uye wathi ii-chandlers zisenakho ukubonelela ngeenqanawa zomkhosi kunye neenqanawa zemithwalo.
"Ezi nqanawa (zomkhosi kunye nempahla) aziqinanga njengeenqanawa zokuhamba ngenqanawa, ezidada kwiihotele ezineenkwenkwezi ezintlanu kunye nenotshi ephezulu ngokwemigangatho," utshilo umphathi weKato.
Kwiinqanawa zokuhamba ngenqanawa, akukho nto ishiywe ngamabona-ndenzile kuba ihlala iselwandle kwaye nasiphi na isiganeko sokutyhefa kokutya sinyanzelekile ukuba sibangele uxinzelelo, wongeze watsho.
Ubongoze abaphathi bezibuko laseMombasa ukuba basebenzisane neshishini lezokhenketho kunye nabanye abadlali kwingingqi yaseMpuma Afrika ukukhuthaza ukhenketho lokuhamba ngenqanawa, esithi nokuba izibuko lizama kangakanani na lodwa, alizukuya kude njengoko ukhenketho lokuhamba ngenqanawa lusekwe. Oku kuthetha ukuba iKenya kufuneka isebenzisane namazwe afana neMauritius, iTanzania, iSeychelles, iZanzibar kunye neComoros, phakathi kwamanye.
