“Umthwalo ongabonakaliyo” wezoKhenketho: Ingxelo entsha enkulu

I-Travel Foundation ibambisene neYunivesithi yaseCornell kunye ne-EplerWood International ukuhlalutya indlela ezona mpembelelo zonakalisayo zokukhula ngokukhawuleza kokhenketho - "umthwalo ongabonakaliyo" - ezinokuqondwa ngcono kwaye zilawulwe kwihlabathi jikelele.

Emva kwamashumi eminyaka yohlumo oluzingileyo, inani labakhenkethi bamazwe ngamazwe liye ladlula kwibhiliyoni e-1 okokuqala ngqa ngowama-2012. Le ngxelo ibonisa ukuba iindawo ekusingwa kuzo ehlabathini lonke azilungiselelwanga iimfuno ezingazange zibonwe ngaphambili oku kuye kwakhokelela kwiingxelo ezothusayo zokhenketho olugqithiseleyo. Ngokukhula okuza kuqhubeka ngokumandla, ukufikelela kwi-1.8 yebhiliyoni yabakhenkethi ngo-2030, ingxaki yehlabathi iyasondela.

Nangona i-overtourism iluphawu olubalulekileyo, ukusetyenziswa kwezinto ezibalulekileyo zendalo, intlalontle kunye ne-asethi yoluntu ngaphandle kwembuyekezo kugxininiswe njengondoqo wengxaki. Ingxelo icebisa ukuba, naphi na apho lukhoyo, ukhenketho lubeka “umthwalo ongabonakaliyo” kwiindawo ekuya kuzo nakubahlali. Umthwalo ongabonakaliyo ushiya ingeniso enganelanga ukubonelela ngesiseko esizinzileyo sokulawula ukukhula okukhawulezayo kokhenketho kwihlabathi jikelele.

Imizekelo yomthwalo ongabonakaliyo wokhenketho ibandakanya iindleko:

• ukwandisa iziseko ezingundoqo zasekhaya ukuhlangabezana neemfuno ezikhulayo zokhenketho;
• imfuno ephezulu yomhlaba onqabileyo kunye nobutyebi basezidolophini obuxabisekileyo;
• ukulawula ukwanda kokuvezwa kwingozi yokutshintsha kwemozulu, ingakumbi ngokhenketho lwaselunxwemeni; kwaye
• ukukhusela iindawo zembali yoluntu kunye nezikhumbuzo.

Kucacile ukuba ukusilela ekuphenduleni ngokufanelekileyo iindleko ezipheleleyo zokukhula kokhenketho kuthintela isenzo. Ke ngoko, iindlela ezintsha zokubala ziyimfuneko ukukhusela ezona asethi uqoqosho lwesizwe kunye namashishini kwihlabathi liphela axhomekeke kuzo.

Ingxelo iphonononga iinguqulelo ezintsha kumgaqo-nkqubo nakwimali ukulawula umthwalo ongabonakaliyo wokhenketho. Yenza imeko yentsebenziswano phakathi kukawonke-wonke-namashishini abucala kuyilo lweendlela eziqhutywa ziidatha zokulawula, ukubeka iliso kunye nokuxhasa ngezimali iindawo kwihlabathi liphela.

Uhlalutyo lwaqala ngodliwano-ndlebe olunzulu kunye nezemfundo, ishishini, kunye neengcali zehlabathi kunye netafile ejikelezayo kwiYunivesithi yaseCornell. Kwalandelwa ngophando kwizifundo zangoku kunye nezifundo zoncwadi kunye nozinzo olusuka kwiinkalo ezifanelekileyo ezifana nokucwangciswa kwedolophu, ulawulo lwendawo ekhuselweyo, uqoqosho lwendalo, kunye noqoqosho lwedijithali.

Ingxelo iya kupapashwa kweyoKwindla yowama-2019.
