Xa u-Ioana Isac waseRomania wehla kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya iBen Gurion International wothuswa kukufumanisa ukuba wayengumkhenkethi wezigidi ezithathu zakwaSirayeli ngo-2017. U-Isac kunye neqabane lakhe baye bamkelwa ulwamkelo lwekhaphethi ebomvu kwaye banikwa indawo ephuculweyo yehotele, i-limousine, ukukhwela ihelicopter kunye nkqu ukhenketho lobuqu lweNkulumbuso uBinyamin Netanyahu.
Ewe, imboni yokhenketho yakwaSirayeli ibona ukukhula kwayo okukhulu kwiminyaka, ubuncinci ngokusekwe kwizibalo zamva nje, emva kokuba amanani ehlile ngenxa yemfazwe ye-2014 neHamas. "I-Knife Intifada" yasePalestine, ebangele amashumi ama-Israel abulawa okanye enzakala kule minyaka mibini idlulileyo, inokuba negalelo ekuncipheni kwenani labakhenkethi.
Ngokwahlukileyo koko, iSebe lezoKhenketho lakwa-Israel libhalise ukonyuka kwama-57% kubakhenkethi kunye nokunyuka kwe-106% kubakhenkethi bemini ngo-Okthobha xa kuthelekiswa nonyaka ophelileyo. Ngapha koko, bangaphezulu kwama-400,000 abakhenkethi abandwendwele ilizwe ngo-Okthobha kuphela, eyona nyanga ibalaseleyo kwaSirayeli kukhenketho olungenayo.
Kwaye ngokwe-Central Bureau of Statistics yakwaSirayeli, phakathi kukaJanuwari no-Okthobha ka-2017 phantse izigidi ezithathu zabakhenkethi barekhodwa, ukunyuka kwe-26% unyaka nonyaka.
Umphathiswa wezoKhenketho uYariv Levin, ehlomla ngala manani, uthe, “Eli libalo elingazange libonwe ngaphambili… Ezi ayizongozi, kodwa ziziphumo ezithe ngqo zomsebenzi onzima, utshintsho kwisicwangciso sokuthengisa kunye nokwanda kweenqwelomoya. "
Izixeko zakwa-Israel zenze i-100 eyona ndawo ityelelwa kakhulu kwezohambo ngokutsho kwenkampani yophando lwentengiso i-Euromonitor International, neJerusalem iza kuma-67.th kunye neTel Aviv 78th.
Ngokubanzi, kukho ukuthambekela okunyukayo kwezokhenketho kumazwe eMeditera, kubandakanya iCyprus, i-Italiya kunye neGrisi, kwaye bobathathu baxhamla kwinani lerekhodi labatyeleli ngo-2017.
U-Yoav Gal, umseki kunye ne-CEO yakwa-Israel My Way, i-arhente yokuhamba ngevenkile egxile kukhenketho olukhethekileyo, olwenziweyo kwa-Israeli, wabelane ngembono yakhe neMedia Line: "Ukongeza kumanani abakhenkethi, enye indlela esiyibonayo, eyenza ubomi bethu bunzima, kukuba ixesha lokukhokela liya liba lifutshane. Abakhenkethi baseMelika bebeqhele ukubhukisha kwangethuba, kodwa eli xesha lokukhokela lifutshane kakhulu. Ngamanye amaxesha abathengi basinika isaziso seveki nje kuphela.”
UGal ubalule ubunqolobi behlabathi njengoyena nobangela woku. “Imvakalelo yam,” wacacisa, “yeyokuba, ngexesha elidlulileyo u-Israyeli wayefudula enxulunyaniswa nohlaselo lwabanqolobi kunye neemeko zokhuseleko ezingazinzanga, ngoku ihlabathi liphela liyafana. Kukho ukuhlaselwa kuyo yonke indawo. Abantu abafuni ukuzibophelela kwimihla yokuhamba kwangaphambili ngenxa yokoyika ukurhoxa ngenxa yohlaselo lobunqolobi kwenye indawo. Ke balinda ukubhukisha kude kube ngumzuzu wokugqibela. ”
Isithethi soMphathiswa wezoKhenketho uAnat Shihor-Aronson uvumile. “Abantu namhlanje bayaqonda ukuba akukho ndawo ikhuselekileyo emhlabeni,” utshilo, “kwaye bayaqonda ngoku ukuba uSirayeli ukhuselekile ngokulinganayo njengayo nayiphi na enye indawo, ukuba akunjalo [ngako] ngenxa yamava akhe okulwa nobunqolobi.
Isithethi se-Israel Hotel Association (IHA), umbutho weambrela weshishini lokwamkela iindwendwe kwa-Israeli, uxelele iMedia Line ukuba "uyakwamkela ukwanda kwabakhenkethi kwaye unethemba lokuba le meko iza kuqhubeka ngokuhamba kwexesha." I-IHA ikwaqaqambise “ukonyuswa kohlahlo lwabiwo-mali lwentengiso yeSebe lezoKhenketho.”
I-Shihor-Aronson ibonelele ngesinye isizathu esinokubakho ukhenketho lukhula; oko kukuthi, ukuba uSirayeli uqhuba amaphulo agxile kwiimarike ezintsha ezifana neRomania, Poland kunye neChina. “Sivula i-Israel kwiinqwelomoya ezithe ngqo,” ucacisile, “kwaye iinqwelomoya zifumana isibonelelo esikhulu kuMphathiswa wezoKhenketho njengokhuthazo.”
“Sikwanika inkuthazo kubakhenkethi abafika e-Eilat ukusuka ngo-Okthobha ukuya kuMeyi. Iinkampani ezininzi zibonelela ngolu khetho okokuqala, zinegalelo ekonyukeni. ”
Kodwa ngaba iziseko zokhenketho zakwaSirayeli zingaphatha abakhenkethi abaninzi?
UShihor-Aronson ubanga ukuba i-Israel ayinazo iihotele zaneleyo, kodwa "izama ukuvelisa ukhuphiswano kunye nokunciphisa i-bureaucracy, esinethemba lokuba iya kukhokelela kumaxabiso aphantsi."
Oku kuchasene noluvo lwe-IHA lokuba “ngoku akukho kunqongophala kwamagumbi ehotele.”
“Liyinyaniso elokuba kukho amaxesha okanye iintsuku ezixakeke kakhulu,” watsho ummeli wequmrhu, “kodwa ngokomlinganiselo wonyaka kukho indawo yabakhenkethi abongezelelekileyo. Ekuhambeni kwexesha, ukuba inani labakhenkethi abafikayo lingaphezulu kwezigidi ezine okanye ezihlanu, kuya kufuneka amagumbi ongezelelweyo ehotele.”
I-CEO yakwa-Israel My Way uGal uthe “ngelixa uSirayeli esakha iihotele ezininzi, kukho imiqobo emininzi. Nokuba kukho amagumbi aneleyo ehotele, iindawo ezithile zabakhenkethi azinakukwazi ukubamba.”
Wathi: “Ngokomzekelo, iSixeko Esidala saseYerusalem siya sixinezeleka kakhulu. Ezinye iisayithi zibhukishwe ngokupheleleyo kwiinyanga ezingaphambili, ezinje ngeWestern Wall Tunnels. Abakhenkethi abambalwa balungile, kodwa ukuba inqanawa yokuhamba ngenqanawa enabantu abangama-2,000 ifika eHaifa, ezi ntlobo zeziza azikwazi ukumelana nelo nani labakhenkethi ngaxeshanye.
Nokuba yeyiphi na indlela, ukuba oku kunyuka kuyaqhubeka mhlawumbi kulo nyaka uzayo uSirayeli uya kubhiyozela abakhenkethi abazizigidi ezine.
