Ukutsho ukuba iMadrid, iSpain, ibikhankasela ngokungqongqo ukubamba iiOlimpiki zasehlotyeni kuya kuba yinto ephantsi. Nasemva kokungaphumelelanga kwamaxabiso amabini alandelelanayo- ukuphulukana neLondon kunye neParis kumjikelo wesithathu wokuvotela iiOlimpiki zasehlotyeni zowama-2012 kunye nokuphulukana nomjikelo wokugqibela wokuvotela iRio de Janeiro kwiiOlimpiki zasehlotyeni zowama-2016, ikomkhulu laseSpain lisahleli lingathintelwanga ekwenzeni ityala lalo. ngokubamba iMidlalo yeOlimpiki yeHlobo yowama-2020.
Ngayo yonke intetho kushishino lokhenketho kunye nokhenketho malunga neendleko kunye neenzuzo zokusingatha umsitho omkhulu wezemidlalo, kunye nengxelo ka-2009 ye-European Tour Operators Association ngokufanelekileyo ibango lokuba ukusingatha izithuba zeOlimpiki kusisoyikiso esikhulu kuhambo lwesixeko esibambayo. kunye noshishino lwezokhenketho ngokuphazamisana nesiqhelo. Uphando lwe-ETOA lufumene ukuba iindwendwe zafika kwiiOlimpiki ezidlulileyo eBeijing ngo-2008, eAthene ngo-2004, eSydney ngo-2000, eAtlanta ngo-1996, eBarcelona ngo-1992 naseSeoul ngowe-1988 bafumanisa ukuba iMidlalo yeOlimpiki “yaphazamisa ukhenketho oluqhelekileyo” kwaye iMidlalo yeOlimpiki “ khange iveze naluphi na ulwando olubonakalayo kukhenketho.”
Abanye bathi inzuzo yezoqoqosho ngokubamba umsitho wemidlalo emikhulu efana neOlimpiki ayinakulinganiswa ngonyaka esiba nawo umsitho wodwa, kodwa kwixesha elide. ISpain yayisingathe iiOlimpiki ngowe-1992, nto leyo eyayineminyaka engaphezu kwe-19 eyadlulayo. Ndinombuzo oneenxalenye ezimbini: Yimalini echithe iSpain xa ibambe iMidlalo ye-92 kunye neyesibini, ngaba iSpain ngokwenene yazuza oko kubizwa ngokuba ziinzuzo zezoqoqosho zexesha elide lokusingatha iiOlimpiki? Ngubani onokuthi aphendule le mibuzo kunomphathiswa wezokhenketho waseSpain, u-Isabel Borrego, owathi ngempazamo wenza ukubonakala kwakhe njengomphathiswa wezokhenketho welizwe kuhlelo lwalo nyaka lwe-ITB Berlin. UMphathiswa uBorrego wayeyinxalenye yegqiza kwiNgqungquthela yoonondaba yeZizwe eziManyeneyo, eyayibanjwe ngoMatshi, ngowe-8, ngowama-2012.
Umfundisi waphendula ngeSpanish, kodwa impendulo yakhe yaguqulelwa ngu UNWTO Unobhala weendaba uMarselo Risi. Wathi: “Kwinxalenye yokuqala yombuzo wokuba yimalini eyachithwa ngowe-1992, akakwazi ukuphendula kuba kwakungaphambi kwexesha lakhe. Malunga noxanduva analo ngaphakathi kurhulumente, kurhulumente uphuhlile kwiinyanga ezimbini ezidlulileyo. Ewe, ingeniso yingeniso yexesha elide kunye neyexesha elifutshane yokubamba umsitho omkhulu wamazwe ngamazwe. Ngoku njengoko usazi, iMadrid ifuna ukusingatha iiOlimpiki, kwaye, kwakhona, ingeniso yeMadrid njengokusingatha iiOlimpiki kodwa nakwilizwe liphela, eSpain. Nawuphi na umcimbi omkhulu wezemidlalo, uhamba kunye nawo onke amanqanaba amaninzi ahlukeneyo, sinawo kwiindidi ezahlukeneyo zemidlalo; ukusingatha iiOlimpiki, nangakumbi. Ekukhuthazeni nasekuxhaseni ngokupheleleyo ubizo lweMadrid lokubamba i-Olimpiki [yowama-2020] kunjalo ikwayiSpain njengelizwe elibambe iqhaza kulo lonke, kwaye uqinisekile ukuba…
Ukwazi ukuba iMadrid ibisoloko ikhankasela ukuba sisixeko esisindleke iMidlalo yeOlimpiki kwakhona ibuza lo mbuzo: Kutheni uNobhala wezoKhenketho u-Borrego engenalwazi malunga neendleko kunye neenzuzo zoqoqosho zokusingatha iiOlimpiki? Umntu angacinga ukuba umphathiswa wezokhenketho wayevela kwi-ITB Berlin, owona mboniso mkhulu wehlabathi wokuhamba nokhenketho, ukwenza imeko eyomeleleyo yesicelo saseSpain seMidlalo yeOlimpiki yowama-2020. Nangona kunjalo, ukungakwazi kwakhe ukubonelela ngeenkcukacha-manani ezifanelekileyo ekusingatheni umsitho omkhulu kangako akunakuthetheleleka. Mhlawumbi ngamanyathelo angafanelekanga afana neli anokuthi akhokelele kwisiphumo esibi kungekuphela nje njengesixeko esisindleke, kodwa kwilizwe elisindleke lilonke. Umzekelo: eGrisi.

INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- With all the talk in the travel and tourism industry about the the cost and benefits of hosting the mega-sporting event, with a 2009 report by the European Tour Operators Association out-rightly claiming that hosting the Olympics posts considerable threat to the host city's travel and tourism industry by disrupting the normal.
- ETOA's research found that visitors arrival for the past Olympics in Beijing in 2008, Athens in 2004, Sydney in 2000, Atlanta in 1996, Barcelona in 1992 and Seoul in 1988 found that the Olympic Games “disrupted normal tourism” and that the Olympic Games “did not reveal any conspicuous tourism growth.
- Losing to London and Paris in the third round of voting for the 2012 Summer Olympics and losing in the final round of voting to Rio de Janeiro for the 2016 Summer Olympics, the Spanish capital remains undeterred in making its case for hosting the 2020 Summer Olympic Games.
