Isigqeba solawulo kwezokhenketho eNew Zealand uGeorge Hickton uthi intengiso yentengiso yezokhenketho kwimarike yaseMntla Melika iyakuphindeka kabini ukuya kwisigidi seedola.
Umnumzana Hickton uthe iNew Zealand kuye kwafuneka ukuba iyeke ukuhla kwintengiso yeendwendwe ezithatha ixesha elide kule minyaka yamva nje ukuze ihambelane nendlela yokukhula ebonwa ngamanani abakhenkethi abahamba ixeshana, ngakumbi kwimarike yeTrans-Tasman.
Imakethi yase-United States - ngoku izisa abahambi abaphantse babe ngama-200,000 eNew Zealand ngonyaka - iya kuba yinto ekujoliswe kuyo ekukhuleni.
“Yeyona marike inkulu emhlabeni, yiyo ke leyo ekufuneka uyithenge. Kwaye sineenqwelomoya ezininzi eziya e-US kunayo nayiphi na enye indawo yase-Australia, utshilo uMnu Hickton.
Uhlahlo lwabiwo-mali lokunyusa lwaseMntla Melika luyakuphinda-phindwe kabini ukuya phakathi kwe-8 yeedola kunye ne-10 yezigidi zeedola okanye ngaphezulu.
“Sifaka imali eyongezelelekileyo, phantse siluphinda kabini utyalo-mali lwethu apho – kwaye siza kwenza ezinye izibhengezo malunga nendlela yethu e-US,” utshilo uMnu Hickton emva kwesidlo sakusasa sabasebenzi becandelo lezokhenketho.
Iseshoni yasingathwa yi-TNZ kunye neChristchurch & Canterbury Tourism.
I-TNZ ikwacinga ukuba intengiso e-United States ihlala ifuna ukuqhutywa ngabantu abadumileyo ukufumana impembelelo kwimarike yeendaba egcweleyo.
Umanejala wengingqi ye-TNZ kuMntla Melika u-Annie Dundas ubalule impumelelo yomdlalo kamabonakude wezothando wase-US I-Bachelor - ngokuyinxenye ifotwe eNew Zealand - kunye nenkangeleko kaJohn Key kwi-Late Show kunye noDavid Letterman.
“Kufuneka sithethe malunga … noDavid Letterman, inkulumbuso – yenza ukuba kuthethwe ngeNew Zealand nakwimephu,” utshilo uNksz Dundas.
UMnu Letterman ngoku wayemenyelwe eNew Zealand. “Sithetha noDave, ungumlobi obukhali kakhulu weempukane.”
INew Zealand yayindwendwela abakhenkethi abamalunga ne-197,000 ngonyaka abasuka e-US, okanye malunga neepesenti ezi-0.7 zabakhenkethi abahamba uhambo olude, utshilo uNksz Dundas.
Injongo ye-TNZ yayikukunyusa elo nani liye kwipesenti enye, okanye abatyeleli abangama-1 ngonyaka.
Umnumzana Hickton uthe i-$20m yemali eyongezelelweyo ebonelelwe nguRhulumente kulo nyaka yibhonasi yokwenyani.
“Sinokwenyuka okukhulu kwenkxaso-mali esakha saba nayo njengombutho – i-$20 yezigidi kulo nyaka, kunye ne-$30 yezigidi ngokulandelayo.
Ngokusisiseko sine-100 yezigidi zeedola zokuthengisa iNew Zealand.
Ukuwa kwepesenti enye yeendwendwe ezingenayo eziya eNew Zealand kulo nyaka ukuza kuthi ga ngoku bekungaphantsi kakhulu kunoqikelelo lokuwa kweepesenti ezili-1 ezenziwe kwiinyanga ezili-10 ezidlulileyo, utshilo uMnu Hickton.
Umphathi oyintloko weCCT uChristine Prince uthe umbutho oqhutywa yintengiso ukulungele ukwandisa ukusetyenziswa kwawo abantu abadumileyo ukuzisa iindwendwe.
UPhil Keoghan, umsasazi kamabonwakude Ugqatso olumangalisayo wayebuyele kwidolophu yakowabo iChristchurch kwiveki ephelileyo ukuze adibane nabasebenzi kwiZiko leeNdwendwe le-i-SITE eCathedral Square nokunceda ukusungula iphulo elitsha le-i-SITE.
Oko kujolise ekukhuthazeni abantu baseCantabrian ukuba bandwendwele indawo kwaye bafumanise ukuba yintoni na enikezela ngayo ukuze ulwazi ludluliselwe kwiindwendwe.
