I-ETOA Tom Jenkins kuRhulumente: Buyisela ukuzithemba

I-ETOA icela ooRhulumente ukuba bathathe amanyathelo okumisa ifuthe lezoqoqosho kwi-Covid-19 kunye nokubuyisela ukuzithemba.

I-European Tour Operator Association uTom Jenkins, i-CEO ye-ETOA uthe:

“Imeko itshintsha ngokukhawuleza okukhulu.

Njengoko i-Covid-19 iqhubeka nokusasazeka, oorhulumente bakwimeko emaxongo kuqwalaselo lwezoqoqosho. Amanyathelo karhulumente ukududula umva lo bhubhani kufuneka alungelelaniswe neendlela zokuphila zabantu. 

Izikolo zivaliwe, imida ivaliwe, iminyhadala irhoxisiwe, uhambo oluphuma ngaphandle alukhuthazwa. Njengentsholongwane, ezi zenzo zineziphumo zamazwe ngamazwe. I-France iyekile ukuhamba kwezikolo ezihambela phesheya, ukuhamba ngemfundo ukusuka e-US ukuya eJamani kuyarhoxiswa kwaye i-Itali ibeka ukuvalwa. Ukubhukisha eDublin naseCopenhagen ukusuka kuMntla Merika kuye kwachaphazeleka. Xa iziphathamandla zaseThai nezakwaSirayeli zimisa uhambo oluphuma ngaphandle, impembelelo ivakala naphi na apho abo bathengi bebefanele ukuba khona.    

Impembelelo yezoqoqosho isasazeka ngokukhawuleza kunentsholongwane ebangele oko. Imiphumo iyabonakala. Kulo lonke elaseYurophu sibona iimpawu zokudodobala kokhenketho. Ishishini elivela eChina alikho, kwaye ukusuka eMzantsi-Mpuma Asia lehle nge-75%. 

I-traffic eya e-Italiya evela kuzo zonke iimarike ime ngxi: phantse i-25% yazo zonke izithuthi ezingenayo eziya eYurophu zisuka e-US zibandakanya i-Itali.

Onke amaqela emfundo (kwaye sijonge kwixesha eliphakamileyo kubo) asuka e-US akwinkqubo yokurhoxiswa. Ngexesha lokubhukisha, ukubhukisha eYurophu kuMntla Melika kuye kwamiswa. Silindele ukuwohloka ngakumbi xa i-US iqala ukukhangela amatyala ekhaya: ukusukela nge-5 kaMatshi^th, iye yavavanya abantu abangama-472.

Oku kwenzeka njengoko uhambo lwangaphakathi kweYurophu luphantsi kobunzima obufanayo. Uhambo lwasekhaya nalo luphantsi kakhulu nangaphambi kokuba kubekho ubungqina bosulelo oluxhaphakileyo. Iinkampani ngoku zivala lonke uhambo "olungabalulekanga". Iinkomfa, iintlanganiso kunye nazo zonke iintlobo zemisebenzi yembumba edibeneyo iyanqunyanyiswa. Kungekudala siza kuba nengxaki egcweleyo kwicandelo lokwamkela iindwendwe. Kwiveki ephelileyo bendigxininisa ukuba kufuneka sibe nethemba eliqinileyo. Emva kweveki enye ndibona abasebenzi (ababesokola ukufumana abasebenzi) besenza umsebenzi onyanzelekileyo. Sinjalo ke isantya kunye nobungqongqo boku kuhla. Oku kuya kuba neziphumo kulo lonke unikezelo lwekhonkco.

Ndisebenze kolu shishino phantse iminyaka engamashumi amane. Ngelo xesha kukho ibhombu yaseLibya ngo-1986, iMfazwe yokuqala yeGulf ngo-1991, i-9/11, iMfazwe yesibini yeGulf, ingxaki yezemali ye-2007/8. Andizange ndiyibone into efana nale yenzekayo ngoku. 

Oorhulumente basebenza kwisiseko sokuba "kunokwenzeka kakhulu" ukuba intsholongwane ihambe ubhubhane kungekudala. Kodwa bacinga ukuba i-75% yabo bosulelekileyo abayi kubonakalisa iimpawu. Xa siye sanezoyikiso zabanqolobi kwakukho imbopheleleko esisiseko yokutyeshela oko abantu babekwazi ukuba sisisongelo esingephi: ukwenza nantoni na kwakuya kuvumela abanqolobi ukuba boyise. Isenzo sokuziphatha okwangoku sibonakala kukuhlala ekhaya kwaye uloyiko. Ekuhambeni kwexesha esi sisenzo esiya kutyhilwa njengesenzo esingesosimilo okanye esingesosenzo.

Kwaphawuleka kwintlanganiso enye esemthethweni (ebekumele ukuba imalunga nefuthe kushishino lokuhamba) malunga ⅔^iirds. yayizinikele kubume bengxaki yezonyango. Lonke ingqwalasela karhulumente- kwaye ngenxa yoko i-Press- ikwisoyikiso esibangelwa yintsholongwane. Ngandlela ithile ibali kufuneka litshintshwe ukusuka "kwimpilo" ukuya kwimpembelelo kuqoqosho lwento eyenzekayo. Le mpembelelo ifuna ukucuthwa ngokukhawuleza njengentsholongwane. Akwanelanga ukuthi “ngcono ukhuselekile kunokuzixolela”; le nto siyibonayo iyingozi kakhulu.

Indlela esibuyisela ngayo ukuzithemba xa yonakala ingumbhodamo, kodwa kufuneka siyilungise ngoku. Siphakathi kwale ngxaki, kodwa iza kuphela. Oorhulumente kufuneka benze into eyenzekayo kuqoqosho lwabo: kubaluleke kakhulu njengoko kwenzekayo kwindawo yezempilo.

Kwenzeka ntoni kwishishini lokuhamba, kwaye ngenxa yoko lonke uqoqosho lwenkonzo, luyinyani kwaye luyenzeka ngoku.

Akunakwenzeka ukulinganisa impembelelo yezoqoqosho ngokubanzi, kwaye sisaqokelela ubungqina, kodwa i-European tourism industry inbound icinga ukucuthwa kweshishini ubuncinane nge-50% ngo-2020. 

Oku kuya kufuna ukunyuka okukhulu kwimfuno ekupheleni konyaka. Indlela esenza ngayo ukuze siphinde siphile yeyona nto ingxamisekileyo.”
