Ngaphezulu nje kwenyanga edlulileyo, ngaphambi kwe iliza le-coronavirus, uninzi lwethu luhleli ezi-ofisini zethu singqongwe ngoogxa bethu, sineengxoxo ezinzulu malunga nendlela yokunyusa ibango elinyukayo kwiihotele, ukhenketho nokhenketho kulo nyaka. Ngokwe-UN World Tourism Organisation's (UNWTO's) uqikelelo olusuka ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka, abakhenkethi abafikayo bamazwe ngamazwe bekulindeleke ukuba bakhule nge-4% ngo-2020, nto leyo ayinkulu njengoko ukukhula okubonwe ngo-2017 (7%) kunye no-2018 (6%), kodwa kwakwanele ukuba ukuqhubeka nokuphembelela ishishini lezokhenketho, elinegalelo elimalunga ne-10.4% yeGDP yehlabathi kunye nemisebenzi emalunga nezigidi ezingama-319.
Sasingaxhalatyiswanga sisisongelo esizayo sesibetho se-COVID-19 sehlabathi. Ngapha koko, iindawo ezininzi zehlabathi ziye zasilela ukuqaphela le ntsholongwane imile njengesithsaba eyayiza kuzisa yonke into, de kube ngoMatshi 11, xa uMbutho wezeMpilo weHlabathi (i-WHO) wayibhengeza ngokusesikweni njengobhubhane. Sasingazi ukuba umhlaba esiza kuvukela kuwo ngomso awuyi kuqatshelwa, kwaye ubomi njengoko sisazi ukuba buza kuphela.
Oohola bendlela bachithakele, iinqwelomoya ziye zangqengqwa, izixeko ezingazange zilale ngoku ziye zawela kubuthongo obunzulu, kwaye iingxilimbela zoqoqosho ziye zaguqwa ngamadolo. Kuyo yonke le ngxwabangxwaba izolileyo, ishishini lokuhamba nelokhenketho lizifumana lifunyenwe lisiqwenga somnye wemizi-mveliso ehlaselwe kakhulu. Isenzo sokuhamba siyaziwa ukuba negalelo ekusasazeni i-coronavirus, yiyo loo nto ngoku isasazeke ngokukhawuleza kumazwe angaphezu kwama-206 kwihlabathi liphela kubangela ukubekelwa imiqathango engqongqo yokuhamba ngoorhulumente abaninzi.
Njengoko ishishini lokhenketho libala ilahleko yalo, UNWTO Uqikelelo lokuba lo bhubhani uza kukhokelela ekwehleni malunga nezigidi ezingama-440 zabakhenkethi abafika kumazwe aphesheya, okuya kutsho kukwehla ngama-30% kwiirisithi zokhenketho zamazwe ngamazwe. Ukubeka oku ngokwembono, ishishini lokhenketho liza kuphulukana malunga nama-450 eebhiliyoni zeedola zaseMelika ngo-2020, kwaye abantu abazizigidi ezingama-75 kwihlabathi liphela baya kushiywa bengenamsebenzi. Kuxhomekeke ekubeni imeko iguquka njani na, UNWTO usengawahlaziya la manani.
Ngawo onke amathandabuzo ajikeleze, ishishini liziqinisa ngokwalo kuphela umbono-utshintsho. Siza kubona ubungqina obukhulu kwiinguqulelo zokuhamba nezokhenketho kunye nokuziphatha kwabathengi.
Ukuhamba ngokudibeneyo kunye nohambo lokuzonwabisa
Isidingo sokuphambuka ekuhlaleni kuya kuthetha ukuba kuya kuthatha ixesha ngaphambi kokuba abahambi bazive bekhuselekile ukuya kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya esigcweleyo nakwiinqwelomoya. Ukubuyela kwimeko yesiqhelo kungakhawulezisa kuhambo lwendibaniselwano ngenxa yokuba kubaluleke ngakumbi kwindalo, ngelixa uhambo olungabalulekanga lokuzonwabisa lunokuba negophe lokubuya kwakhona.
Uhambo lwasekhaya kuthelekiswa nokuhamba kwamazwe aphesheya
Nje ukuba uhambo lokuphola luthathe uhambo ngenqwelomoya kwakhona, abahambi baya kuthi banqwenele ukuvavanya amanzi ngeendawo ezikufuphi nasekhaya, mhlawumbi nakumgama wokuqhuba. Abantu baseSingapore baphendule kakuhle kwindawo yokuhlala ngaphakathi kwesixeko.
Uhlahlo-lwabiwo mali ngokuchasene nokunethezeka
Nangona iihotele ezinobunewunewu kunye neziphezulu zezona zibuhlungu kakhulu ngoku, zinethuba lokubuyela kwimeko yesiqhelo ngesantya esikhawulezayo. Ukhuseleko kunye nokucoceka kuya kuba yinto ephezulu engqondweni kubahambi xa bekhetha ihotele, apho imigangatho ecokisekileyo yeehotele zodidi iya kudlala indima ebalulekileyo.
Ngenxa yotshintsho olunokubakho olucingelwe lushishino, zimbalwa iindawo ezinokufuna ukunikwa ingqalelo ziihotele ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuba izinto zitshintshile zibuyele ekusebenzeni.
Imithombo yentengiso
Njengomphumo wabahambi "abaya kwindawo," iihotele ezininzi ziya kudinga ukuphinda ziphinde zivelise imithombo yazo ephambili yemarike. Kwimeko apho iihotele bezixhomekeke kakhulu kwimithombo ethile yentengiso, abangayilindelanga ukuba bayilandele kwixa elizayo, baya kudinga ukuphonononga ezinye iimarike ezinokubakho njengoko ibango lasekhaya ngokwalo lisenokungabikho ngokwaneleyo ukubuyisela imfuno yaphesheya. Njengehotele ezizimeleyo, oku kunokubonakala kunzima, kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo kuya kunceda ukunxibelelana nebhodi yezokhenketho yendawo leyo kwaye uqonde izicwangciso zabo ukuze zilungelelanise isicwangciso ngokufanelekileyo.
Amacandelo emarike
Njengokuba iihotele zivulwa kwakhona, amaqela ezorhwebo aya kudinga ukuhlalutya ukuba ngubani ngokwenene oza ngeminyango kwiintsuku ezimbalwa zokuqala. Oku kuyanyanzeleka ukuba kuchongwe ngokukhawuleza utshintsho kumacandelo emarike kwaye kulungelelaniswe isicwangciso ngokufanelekileyo.
Uhlahlo lwabiwo-mali kunye nolwabiwo lwezixhobo
Ngokungathandabuzekiyo, ngokusekwe kutshintsho kwiimarike zomthombo kunye namacandelo emarike, iihotele kuya kufuneka zibuyele kwibhodi yokuzoba kwaye ziphinde ziphinde zijonge zonke izicwangciso-qhinga ezinkulu nezincinci zonyaka. Ukuqala ukusuka ekuxubeni iipotfoliyo zeqela lokuthengisa ukulungelelanisa izicwangciso zokuthengisa zonyaka, yonke into iya kufuneka ijongwe kwakhona.
Ukwahluka kwemithombo yengeniso
Kude kube amagumbi eengeniso enyuka abuyele kumanqanaba asebenzayo ezemali (kwaye iya kuba njalo), iihotele ziya kufuna ukucinga ngaphandle kwebhokisi kwaye zijonge ukwahluka kwemithombo yabo yengeniso. Ukutshintsha kokujolisa kuya kufuneka xa amaqela orhwebo efumana ukutya nokutya (i-F & B), iinkomfa kunye nezitheko, kunye nee-spas, njl. Njl. Iihotele ezininzi zobunewunewu ziye zazisa iinkonzo zonikezelo lwasekhaya kubandakanya nokuhanjiswa kwezitya zabo zokutyikitya, iidizethi, kwanengqokelela yewayini yabo.
namaxabiso
Ngokwembali, iihotele ezikhethe ukwehla ngexabiso lengubo emva kwayo nayiphi na ingxaki ziye zasokola ukubuyisa umndilili we-avareji yemihla ngemihla (i-ADR) kwakuba kunyuswe amanqanaba. Nangona kunjalo, le ngxaki ayifani nenye, kwaye kungafuneka sigcine engqondweni ukuba uninzi lwabo bazimisele ukuhamba kwikamva elikufutshane nabo banokuba buhlungu emalini, kwaye isaphulelo sinokubakhuthaza ukuba bahambe. Ukuthintela ukwehla kwexabiso elizinzileyo, iihotele ngokuqinisekileyo kufuneka zigcine amaxabiso oluntu kwizitishi zazo nakwii-OTA kodwa zinokujonga ukubandakanyeka kwintengiso ye-flash ngaphandle kokonakalisa uphawu lwentengiso.
Izakhiwo zokusebenza
Ngokungena kwemali emngciphekweni, iihotele kuya kufuneka zijonge izakhiwo ezomeleleyo zokusebenza, okwexeshana. Amatyathanga amakhulu ehotele ajonge ukugcina ukuhamba kwemali sele eqengqele izikimu zamakhulu amawaka abasebenzi babo.
Okwangoku, ukuba esi sifo siza kuphela njani ukuqikelela? I-China, apho ubhubhane waqala khona kwaye ilizwe lokuqala ukubanga ukuba imeko ye-COVID-19 iphantsi kolawulo kwaye yehlisa kancinci izithintelo zohambo, ifumana iimpawu zokuqala zokuchacha ngokonyuka ngononophelo kubhukisho lwenqwelomoya kunye nasehotele, ezimele intwana ithemba lomhlaba wonke.
Kwiminyaka yakutshanje, ishishini lokuhamba kunye nokhenketho kwihlabathi liphela lijamelene neengxaki ezininzi, kubandakanya uhlaselo lwabanqolobi, ukungazinzi kwezopolitiko, iintlekele zendalo, kunye nokudodobala kwezoqoqosho, ukubala nje ezimbalwa. Nangona kunjalo, umzi-mveliso uthathe konke oku ngokungxama. Ngokomelela, iye yalwa kwaye yabuyela umva. Ngokufanayo, nako oku kuya kudlula.
INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- As per the UN World Tourism Organization's (UNWTO’s) forecasts from earlier this year, international tourist arrivals were expected to grow by 4% in 2020, which is not as great as the growth seen in 2017 (7%) and 2018 (6%), but it was still enough to continue fueling the tourism industry, which contributes about 10.
- The very act of travel is known to contribute to the spread of the coronavirus, which is why it has now rapidly spread to over 206 countries across the world triggering the imposition of strict travel restrictions by several governments.
- In case hotels were heavily dependent on a particular source market, which they don't expect pick-up from in the near future, they will need to explore other potential source markets as the domestic demand on its own may not necessarily be enough to replace the overseas demand.
