Imibutho emihlanu yezothutho lomoya kunye nokhenketho iphehlelele isibheno kumaziko ezezimali aphesheya, amahlakani ophuhliso lwelizwe kunye nabaxhasi bamazwe aphesheya ukuba baxhase icandelo le-Travel & Tourism laseAfrika eliqeshe abantu abamalunga ne-24.6 yezigidi kwilizwekazi lase-Afrika. Ngaphandle kwenkxaso engxamisekileyo, Covid-19 Ingxaki ibone ukuwa kwecandelo eAfrika, kuthabatha izigidi zemisebenzi. Eli candelo lifaka isandla i-169 yezigidigidi kuqoqosho lwe-Afrika xa idityanisiwe, imele i-7.1% ye-GDP yelizwekazi.
Isicelo senziwa nguMbutho wezoThutho loMoya weHlabathi (IATAUmbutho wezoKhenketho weHlabathi (UNWTO) yeZizwe eziManyeneyo, iWorld Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC), i-African Airlines Association (AFRAA) kunye noMbutho weeNqwelomoya zaseMazantsi e-Afrika (AASA).
Ngokudibeneyo le mibutho ibiza amaziko ezezimali aphesheya, amahlakani ophuhliso lwelizwe kunye nabaxhasi bamazwe aphesheya ukuba baxhase icandelo le-Afrika lezoKhenketho nezoKhenketho kula maxesha anzima ngokubonelela:
- $ 10 yezigidigidi ekuncedeni ukuxhasa ishishini lezoKhenketho noKhenketho kunye nokunceda ukukhusela impilo yabo ibaxhasa ngokuthe ngqo nangokungathanga ngqo;
- Ukufikelela kuncedo-mali oluninzi kunye noncedo lokuhamba kwemali kangangoko kunokwenzeka ukutofa imali kunye nokubonelela ngenkxaso ekujoliswe kuyo kumazwe anefuthe elimandla;
- Amanyathelo ezemali anokunceda ukunciphisa ukuphazamiseka kwintengo yemboleko efunekayo kunye nokuthengiswa kwamashishini. Oku kuquka ukurhoxiswa kwezibophelelo zemali ezikhoyo okanye iintlawulo zemali-mboleko; kwaye,
- Ukuqinisekisa ukuba zonke iimali zihla zisiya kwangoko ukonga amashishini azidingayo ngokungxamisekileyo, zineenkqubo ezincinci zesicelo kwaye ngaphandle kwezithintelo ezivela kwimicimbi eqhelekileyo yokubolekwa kwemali njengokufaneleka kwamatyala.
Abanye oorhulumente baseAfrika bazama ukubonelela ngenkxaso ekujoliswe kuyo kunye neyethutyana kumacandelo anzima afana noKhenketho noKhenketho. Nangona kunjalo, amazwe amaninzi akanazo izixhobo eziyimfuneko zokunceda ishishini kunye nendlela yokuphila elixhasa ngayo kule ngxaki.
Imeko ngoku ibaluleke kakhulu. Iinqwelo-moya, iihotele, izindlu zeendwendwe, iindawo zokulala, iivenkile zokutyela, iindawo zokuhlangana kunye namashishini ahambelana nazo ajongene nelahleko. Ngokwesiqhelo, ukhenketho luquka i-80% yamashishini amancinci naphakathi (amashishini asakhasayo). Ukugcina imali, uninzi sele luqalisile ukuyeka okanye ukubeka abasebenzi kwikhefu elingahlawulelwayo.
“Impembelelo Covid-19 ubhubhane uvakala kulo lonke ikhonkco lexabiso lezokhenketho. Icandelo kunye nezigidi zobomi ezixhasa lona kwihlabathi liphela, kubandakanya noluntu olusemngciphekweni lubonakaliswe ngokukodwa. Inkxaso yezimali yamazwe ngamazwe ibalulekile ekuqinisekiseni ukuba ukhenketho lungakhokelela ekubuyiselweni ngokubanzi kwezoqoqosho nakwezentlalo kwezi ndawo, ”utshilo UNWTO UNobhala-Jikelele, uZurab Pololikashvili.
“Iinqwelo-moya zezona zinto ziphambili kuhambo lwezoKhenketho nezoKhenketho oludale imisebenzi esemgangathweni kubantu abazizigidi ezingama-24.6 eAfrika. Indlela abaphila ngayo isemngciphekweni. Ukuqulatha ubhubhane yeyona nto iphambili. Kodwa ngaphandle komgaqo wokuxhasa ngemali ukugcina icandelo lezoKhenketho noKhenketho liphila, ukonakaliswa kwezoqoqosho kwe-COVID-19 kungabuyisa ukukhula kwe-Afrika kwiminyaka elishumi nangaphezulu. Uncedo lwezezimali namhlanje lutyalomali olubalulekileyo kwikamva laseAfrika emva kwendyikityha kwizigidi zabantu baseAfrika, utshilo uMlawuli-Jikelele ne-CEO ye-IATA, u-Alexandre de Juniac.

Ukuhamba kunye noKhenketho yintsika yoqoqosho oluninzi kwi-Afrika iphela kwaye ukuwa kwayo kuya kukhokelela kumakhulu ezigidi zeendlela zokuphila ezichaphazelekileyo kunye noxinzelelo olukhulu lwemali kwiminyaka ezayo. Ngoku, kunanini na ngaphambili, kubalulekile ukuba oorhulumente basebenze kunye kwindlela elungelelanisiweyo yehlabathi ekubuyiseleni ukuchacha ngokukhawuleza kunye nenkxaso eqhubekayo yokuHamba kunye noKhenketho. Kubalulekile ukuba abona bantu basesichengeni bafumane uncedo lwamazwe ngamazwe. Isantya kunye namandla apho uluntu lwamazwe ngamazwe ludibana kunye kwaye luphendule ngamaziko emali ngamazwe ngamazwe, amaqabane ophuhliso lwelizwe kunye nabaxhasi bamazwe ngamazwe baya kuba yinto ebalulekileyo yokubonelela ngenkxaso kwizigidi ezininzi zabantu abaphila ngokuxhomekeke kakhulu kwicandelo lethu, "wongezelela uGloria Guevara. WTTC UMongameli kunye ne-CEO.
