I-SHERMAN, i-CT - Inkcitho yabathengi inokuthi inyuke, kodwa xa kuziwa kuhambo lokuzonwabisa, abantu abaninzi baseMelika basaziva beyonga. Ngokwengxelo entsha yogunyaziwe wophando kushishino lokuhamba uPhoCusWright, izehlo zohambo lolonwabo zizonke zihleli zithe tyaba kulo nyaka uphelileyo, kwaye uninzi lwabantu abadala base-US abakwazileyo ukuya ekhefini bathathe uhambo olumbalwa nolufutshane. Kodwa ngelixa umhambi oqhelekileyo usenokungaziva ukuzithemba ngokwaneleyo ukuba achithe, kukho imiqondiso yokuba abanye abakhenkethi bayayikhulula ngokukhawuleza imitya yesipaji.
Ngokutsho kwePhoCusWright's US Consumer Travel Report Fifth Edition, abathandathu kwabalishumi abantu abadala base-US baye bayokuzonwabisa ngo-2012, phantse nangonyaka ophelileyo. Abahambi ngokomndilili bathathe i-2.8 yohambo lokuphumla, behla kancinane, kwaye abanye abahambi baye baphucula ngokunciphisa uhambo olude oluphakathi (ubusuku obu-4-6) ukuya kwiihambo zempelaveki ezikhawulezayo. Akumangalisi ukuba, ukuthatha uhambo oluncinci nolufutshane kukwathetha ukuba abahambi bachithe imali encinci - umndilili wenkcitho yokuhamba ngonyaka wehle malunga needola ezingama-230 ngonyaka.
“Uhambo olumbalwa lusenokubangela ingcamango yokuba ukuzithemba kwabathengi kuwile, kodwa abaninzi bebesenza imibingelelo emincinane ukuze bashiye indawo kuhlahlo lwabiwo-mali lwabo lweholide enkulu yonyaka,” utshilo uCarroll Rheem, umhlalutyi oyintloko. "Ngelixa abahambi bengaziva bekhululekile kwaye bekhululekile, bahlakulela ukunyamezela kuthotho lwemiyalezo yezoqoqosho edibeneyo ebonakala ngathi ayinasiphelo."
Ngelixa iimethrikhi zokuhamba ezisisiseko zawa phantsi, kukho ezinye iimpawu ezibonisa ukuba uhambo lokuzonwabisa lusenyuka. Iindwendwe ezininzi zehotele, umzekelo, ziziva zikhululekile ngokwaneleyo ukuba zinyukele kwintengiso kulo nyaka uphelileyo. Izehlo zokuchitha ubuncinci ubusuku obunye kwihotele yebhajethi/imotel yehle kancinci, kwaye bambalwa kakhulu abahambi abahleli nabahlobo okanye usapho.
