Umbutho wabaqhubi babakhenkethi baseYurophu (i-ETOA) uligxekile iBhunga lesiXeko saseCologne malunga nokuqaliswa kwerhafu entsha. Irhafu ebizwa ngokuba “yinkcubeko” icwangciselwe ukuba ihlawuliswe kwiihotele ukusukela nge-1 ka-Okthobha ka-2010 kwinqanaba leepesenti ezi-5 zerhafu (oko kukuthi, ixabiso elihlawulwe lundwendwe).
Isigqibo sokuphumeza le rhafu sithathwe ngoSeptemba 9. Esi yayisisaziso seeveki ezintathu. Ngelixa bekukho intelekelelo yokuba kungenzeka irhafu, ishishini lehotele kunye nezokhenketho zithathiwe zingalindelanga. Ezinye iihotele-ngelixesha lokubhalwa- zisazi ngale rhafu ngequbuliso.
Inxalenye yengxaki ngale rhafu ngequbuliso kukuba akucaci ncam ukuba ngubani ekufuneka ehlawule, bafanele ukuhlawula ngantoni, kwaye kufuneka beyihlawule njani. Ngokwibhunga, iyirhafu ye-5 yexabiso kwixabiso elihlawulwe ngumthengi. Akucaci ukuba eli "xabiso" libaliwe kubandakanya ne-VAT, okanye ngaphambili. Kwaye akucaci ukuba iihotele (ngubani oza kuthi ahlawule le rhafu) ziya kuqinisekisa ukuba umthengi uhlawuliswa ntoni xa ethengisa igumbi ngomnye umntu. Ikwathembisa ngokuba liphupha elibi kulawulo, njengoko iihotele kuyakufuneka ziqokelele le mali kubaxhasi, uninzi lwabo oluza kuba sele luhlawulelwe.
UTom Jenkins, umlawuli olawulayo we-ETOA, uthe: “Esi sisenzo esingaqhelekanga esenziwe yiCologne, nesiza konakalisa igama laso. Wenze umsebenzi oligorha uzimisa njengendawo yenkcubeko kwiRhine. Ibhunga liyayekelela le nto ngerhafu engafanelekanga nekhoyo egudileyo ebizwa ngokuba 'yinkcubeko.' ”
Iihotele kunye nabasebenza kubakhenkethi abanenkxalabo malunga nale meko bayakhuthazwa ukuba banxibelelane noNick Greenfield, intloko ye-ETOA yobudlelwane babaqhubi bezokhenketho, ku-44 (0) 20 7499 4412 okanye nge-imeyile ku [imeyile ikhuselwe] .
Amalungu eendaba anokunxibelelana noDavid Tarsh, Tarsh Consulting, kule nombolo: 44 (0) 20 7602 5262 okanye + 44 (0) 7770 816 070 okanye nge-imeyile ku: [imeyile ikhuselwe] .
INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- Inxalenye yengxaki ngale rhafu yequbuliso kukuba akucacanga ngokupheleleyo ukuba ngubani na ekufuneka ehlawule, into emayihlawule, kwaye kufuneka ayihlawule njani.
- Ngokwebhunga, yirhafu yesi-5 ekhulwini kwixabiso elihlawulwe ngumthengi.
- Kwaye ayicacanga indlela iihotele (eya kufuneka zihlawulise le rhafu) ziya kumisela ukuba umxhasi uhlawuliswe njani xa ethengisa igumbi ngomnye umntu.
