IQhayiya laseHawai'i ligqiba inkonzo yalo yeveki ngeeveki yokuhamba ngenqanawa kwiziqithi namhlanje kwaye iqala uhambo lwayo lwesabelo esitsha eYurophu, ishiya ilahleko yayo yezoqoqosho enokuthi ifikelele kwi-542 yezigidi zeedola ngonyaka, ngokohlalutyo lombuso.
Iqhayiya laseHawai'i - elinenani elipheleleyo labakhweli abangama-2,466 - linokuphendula malunga neendwendwe ezingama-140,000 ngonyaka, utshilo usoqoqosho welizwe uPearl Imada Iboshi.
"Ngokujonga umndilili wokuhlala kunye nenkcitho yomntu ngamnye ngosuku ngo-2006, ukuba akukho namnye kwaba ndwendwe oza ngenxa yokushiya i-Pride of Hawai'i, iyonke ilahleko yenkcitho yezi ndwendwe iya kuba yi-368.8 yezigidi zeedola. ,” watsho u-Iboshi. “Ukusebenzisa oomatshini bokuphindaphinda ukujonga ifuthe kuqoqosho, kusenokuthetha ilahleko yezigidi ezingama-542 zeerandi kwimveliso nemisebenzi engama-5,000,” utshilo.
Hilo, Hawai'i, umkhenkethi uTony DeLellis uya kuziva ilahleko. Uthe ishishini lakhe elincinci likhule kunye ne-NCL yaseMelika, kwaye liya kuziva ifuthe. “Yinqanawa eyayiqinisekisiwe ukuba iza kufika usuku olunye evekini. Ezo ziindwendwe ezingama-2,200 esiza kuzikhumbula veki nganye,” utshilo.
Unenkampani yokukhenketha ebizwa ngokuba yi-KapohoKine Adventures ekhethekileyo kwiqela elincinci lokhenketho lokunethezeka - kwiimoto eziluncedo zemidlalo kunye neeveni - kwiindawo eziphumayo. Inkampani iqeshe abantu abali-11 kwaye iqhuba izithuthi ezisithoba; yaqala ngo-2004 ngemoto nje enye.
ULUNTU HILO NGELAHLEKO
Ngelixa ishishini lakhe lichatshazelwa ngokuthe ngqo kuko nakuphi na utshintsho olukhulu lwabatyeleli, uthe lonke uluntu lwaseHilo luziva ifuthe labatyeleli benqanawa. “Isekelwe ngokubanzi ngakumbi kunokuba abantu abaninzi becinga,” utshilo uDeLellis, kuba inkampani yakhe ithenga ukutya negesi, ihlawulela ukulungiswa kwemoto njalo njalo. Abasebenzi bakhe bachitha imali yabo kuluntu kwiintsapho zabo, ukuthenga izinto eziyimfuneko, ukuya kwiimuvi, kwiivenkile, njl.
Kunyaka ophelileyo inani labakhweli benqanawa abahamba ngenqanawa abandwendwela eHawai'i likhule ngeepesenti ezingama-20.6 ukuya kuma-501,698, ngokweSebe likarhulumente lezoShishino, uPhuhliso loQoqosho kunye noKhenketho. Eli nani libandakanya abakhweli ababhabha besiya kurhulumente ukuba bakhwele iinqanawa zokuhamba ngenqanawa okanye beze ngeenqanawa zokuhamba ngenqanawa ezityelele eHawai'i. Ngo-2007 bekukho abantu abafikayo kwiinqanawa ezingama-77, xa kuthelekiswa nama-64 ngo-2006.
I-NCL IKHAWULELWE NGEZEZIMALI
I-NCL yaseMelika ibhengeze kulo nyaka uphelileyo ukuba iza kutsala inqanawa isuka eHawaii ngenxa yokwanda kwelahleko yemali. Kwihlobo elidlulileyo, i-NCL Corp. ithe ubuthathaka obuqhubekayo kumaxabiso etikiti kwi-Hawai'i cruise operations ibe negalelo kwikota yesibini yenkampani ilahleko yezigidi ezingama-24.6.
IQhayiya laseHawai'i liza kuhamba namhlanje kwaye lihambe ngenqanawa iintsuku ezintlanu ukuya eLos Angeles, lifike ngoMgqibelo, satsho isithethi se-NCL u-AnneMarie Mathews. Inqanawa iya kungena kwizibuko elimanzi leentsuku ezintandathu eLos Angeles, apho inqanawa iya kuphinda ifakwe iflegi kwaye ithiywe ngokuba yiNorwegian Jade kwaye umzobo onemibala waseHawaii owenziwe ngenqanawa uza kupeyintwa ngaphezulu. Ezinye iinqanawa ezimbini ze-NCL ezineflegi yase-US, iQhayiya le Aloha kunye ne-Pride of America, iya kuqhubeka isebenza emanzini aseHawaii. Inkampani ithe izakuphinda ivavanye ukusebenza kwayo eHawaii kulo nyaka.
Umnxibelelanisi wokhenketho kurhulumente uMarsha Wienert uqikelele “impembelelo enkulu kuqoqosho ngokubanzi kunye neentlobo ezininzi zezinto ezenziwayo” ukusuka kuhambo.
Nangona kunjalo, phantsi kwemeko engcono kakhulu "lithemba lethu lokuba iinqanawa ezimbini ze-NCL ezikhoyo ziya kubathatha abo bakhweli," utshilo.
“Abantu babona iinqanawa zifika zihamba kwaye abacingi ncam ngenzuzo,” utshilo uDeLellis kaHilo. Ukholelwa ukuba urhulumente kunye noHilo kufuneka bakhulise ishishini lokuhamba ngenqanawa.
Uthe abakhweli beenqanawa baya kukhenketha, abaqeshi iimoto kodwa bachitha imali, kwaye bahlala bechitha iiyure ezimbalwa kwizibuko ngalinye. “Zinempembelelo ephantsi kakhulu,” utshilo.
KAUA'I LU'AU UZOKUNZA
I-Kaua'i's Kilohana Plantation iyonwabele ukunyuka okukhulu kweveki yabakhweli be-NCL, ngokutsho kweqabane uFred Atkins.
Xa i-Pride of Hawai'i yafika rhoqo ngoMgqibelo ebusuku kwi-Garden Island, wathi phakathi kwe-650 ukuya kwi-950 abakhweli bahlala phantsi kwi-lu'au e-Kilohana, oko kuthetha imisebenzi kubantu abangaphezu kwe-100 ukuphatha isihlwele. "Ibhajethi yethu yonke ingaphantsi kweepesenti ze-33 ngoku," kusho uAtkins.
Yongeza kwezinye iinkampani ezifumana ishishini ngokuthe ngqo kwiinqanawa ezityelelayo. “Yimpembelelo enkulu,” utshilo uAtkins. “Lishishini eliye lakhula kakhulu eKaua'i kule minyaka isibhozo idlulileyo,” utshilo.
ISIFUNDO '5 YEARS LATE'
U-Atkins ukholelwa ukuba urhulumente kufuneka enze okungakumbi ukunceda ishishini kwaye abuze ukuba kutheni i-Hawai'i Tourism Authority ilinde ukuba ikhuphe isifundo seshishini lokuhamba ngenqanawa, esingafanelanga ukuba sigqitywe kude kube ngu-Okthobha njengoko i-NCL ivavanya ukuzibophelela kwayo apha.
“Kumalunga neminyaka emihlanu emva kwexesha,” utshilo uAtkins. "Ndiyathemba ukuba ayikashiywa lixesha."
Uthe i-NCL ibonakalise ukuba ngummi olungileyo, etyala imali eluntwini. E-Kilohana kuphela, uthe inkampani “ichithe i-3 yezigidi zeerandi apha ukwakha i-pavilion,” leyo isetyenziswa ziindwendwe zaselu’au kodwa nangabantu basekuhlaleni.
Ngelixa abanye abahlali bekhalaza malunga nokungena ngokukhawuleza kwabakhweli abavela kwiinqanawa ezinkulu, u-Atkins uthe ukholelwa ukuba ishishini libonakala lingenalo impembelelo yexesha elide kunamanye amashishini okanye ezinye iindwendwe ezisemhlabeni.
“Yi-10 ekhulwini kuphela kubo abaqesha iimoto,” watsho.
Uthe i-NCL kufuneka ixhaswe kumzamo wayo wokuhlawula umvuzo ophezulu kwiinqanawa ezisekelwe eMelika. Iinqanawa ezineflegi yangaphandle zihlawula imivuzo ephantsi kubasebenzi bazo kwaye zinokusebenza ngexabiso eliphantsi.
U-Atkins ujonge phambili kwishishini elingakumbi ukusuka kwezinye iinqanawa ze-NCL kwaye uhlala elumkile ngekamva. “Ukuba abajiki inkampani ekupheleni konyaka, bazakuba bengekho,” utshilo.
Isithethi uMathews uthe kuqikelelwa ukuba i-940 Pride yamalungu e-Hawai'i crew "yinxalenye yosapho lwe-NCL kwaye banikwe izikhundla kwezinye iinqanawa ze-NCL okanye ze-NCLA ezibandakanya i-Pride of America, i-Pride of Aloha, inqanawa efakwe iflegi kunye nentsalela ye-NCL yeenqanawa zamazwe ngamazwe. Kodwa khange abonelele ngenani labasebenzi abatshintshelwe ngaphakathi kwinkampani okanye bemkile.
UKULAHLEKELWA KUBAQIWE KAKHULU?
ULinda Zabolski ngumongameli weNdawo yaseKona Coast, inkqubo yeSiqithi esikhulu esihlawulwe yiHawai'i Tourism Authority ukwamkela iindwendwe zokuhamba ngenqanawa. Ukwanaye uKapteni Zodiac tours, ethatha iindwendwe kwi-snorkeling, ukubukela i-whale kunye nolunye uhambo.
UZabolski uthe iinqanawa zenza umahluko omkhulu kukhenketho: “Ngomhla ongeyiyo inqanawa idolophu yaseKailua, eKona, yidolophu yesiporho.
Kodwa ukwacinga ukuba kubalulekile ukugcina umbono wokuba ishishini lokuhamba ngenqanawa laliphumelela ngaphambi kokuba i-NCL yongeze inqanawa yesithathu - kwaye i-NCL iseneenqanawa ezimbini ezingakumbi.
“Kubuhlungu ukubona iQhayiya laseHawaii lihamba kodwa bebelapha unyaka onesiqingatha kwaye izinto bezilungile ngaphambi kokuba bafike apha,” utshilo uZabolski. “Asiyontlekele okanye ubumnyama obulindelekileyo.”
INDAWO ENGQALAYO KWIMAKETHI
Ingcali yeenqanawa zokuhamba ngenqanawa uTim Deegan upapasha imagazini yaseHawaiian Shores, incwadi yesikhokhelo yasimahla yeendwendwe zokuhamba ngenqanawa eHawaii ephuma kabini ngonyaka ngokusasazwa malunga nama-200,000.
UDeegan ukholelwa ukuba kubalulekile ukuba urhulumente axhase iinqanawa zokuhamba ngenqanawa ezizinze eMelika kunye nezo zibhabha iiflegi zangaphandle kwaye zize apha endleleni yazo yokuya okanye ukusuka kwenye indawo.
Iinqanawa ze-NCL ziza rhoqo, utshilo, ngelixa iinqanawa zeflegi yangaphandle "zichitha ixesha elincinci kodwa zichitha imali eninzi."
Uthe iinqanawa zokuhamba ngenqanawa yindawo ekhethekileyo eqaqambileyo kwimakethi yokhenketho yase-Hawai'i epholileyo kuba zitsala ishishini elitsha kwishishini le-1 likarhulumente.
“Abahambi ngenqanawa ngabahambi ngenqanawa,” utshilo uDeegan. “Awunqumi phakathi kweholide esekwe emhlabeni e-Hawai'i okanye uhambo ngenqanawa. Uthatha isigqibo phakathi kweMexico, iCaribbean okanye iHawaii. "
