Intsha enkulu WTTC Ingxelo, "Ihlabathi elihambayo: ukutshintsha iindlela zokuhamba kwabathengi ngo-2022 nangaphaya," ibonise ukuba kukho umnqweno ophakamileyo wokhenketho oluzinzileyo phakathi kwabathengi, kunye ne-69% yabahambi abafuna iinketho zokuhamba ezizinzileyo.
Ngokophando olubandakanyiweyo kwingxelo, iikota ezintathu zabahambi zicinga ukuhamba ngokuzinzileyo kwixesha elizayo kwaye phantse i-60% ikhethe iindlela zokuhamba ezizinzileyo kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo. Olunye uphononongo lukwafumanise ukuba malunga neekota ezintathu zabahambi abakwisiphelo esiphezulu bazimisele ukuhlawula ngaphezulu ukwenza uhambo lwabo luzinze ngakumbi.
Kunyaka ophelileyo, emva kweminyaka emibini yokuphazamiseka kokuhamba, abakhenkethi bakwenza kwacaca ukuba ukuzulazula kwabo kuyaphila kakhulu, nokonyuka kwe-109% yabafikeli bamazwe ngamazwe ngobusuku, xa kuthelekiswa no-2021.
Ngokwengxelo, kulo nyaka uphelileyo abathengi babezimisele ukolula ibhajethi yabo kwizicwangciso zabo zeeholide, kunye ne-86% yabahambi abaceba ukuchitha imali efanayo okanye ngaphezulu kwiihambo zamazwe ngamazwe kunokuba ngo-20193, kunye nabakhenkethi base-US abakhokela uluhlu njengabachitha imali enkulu.
Kodwa u-2023 ukhangeleka ngcono ngakumbi ngokwenkcitho yabahambi. Ngaphandle kweenkxalabo malunga nokunyuka kwamaxabiso kunye nengxaki yeendleko zokuphila kwihlabathi liphela, phantse isithathu (31%) sabahambi bathi bajonge ukuchitha ngaphezulu kuhambo lwamazwe ngamazwe kulo nyaka kunango-2022.
Ukongeza, kulo nyaka uphelileyo ngaphezu kwesiqingatha (53%) sabathengi behlabathi abavavanywe ehlotyeni bathi baceba ukuhlala ehotele kwezi nyanga zintathu zilandelayo.
UJulia Simpson, WTTC Umongameli kunye ne-CEO, uthe: "Imfuno yokuhamba yomelele kunangaphambili kwaye ingxelo yethu ibonisa ukuba kulo nyaka siza kubona ukubuya okubalulekileyo. U-2023 umiselwe ukuba ube ngunyaka onamandla kakhulu kuHambo kunye noKhenketho.
"Uzinzo luphezulu kwi-ajenda yabahambi, kwaye abathengi baqaqambisa ixabiso abalibekayo ekukhuseleni indalo kunye nokuhamba ngenkathalo."
Ezinye iziphumo ezivezwe kwingxelo ziquka:
• I-2022 intengiso yelanga kunye nepaki yeholide yeeholide iqikelelwa ukuba inyuke nge-75% xa kuthelekiswa nonyaka odlulileyo
• Kulo nyaka uphelileyo ngexesha lasehlotyeni, abafikayo bamazwe ngamazwe kwilanga laseYurophu kunye neendawo zokuya elunxwemeni bezikwi-15% ngaphantsi kwamanqanaba ka-2019.
• Ngoku ka WTTC's yakutshanje 'Cities Economic Impact Research', ngo 2022 utyelelo kwizixeko ezikhulu kulindeleke ukuba ubone 58% ngonyaka ukunyuka, ngaphantsi kwe 14% ngaphantsi kwe 2019 amanqanaba
• Iiholide zobumnandi ziya kubonakala zithandwa kakhulu, kunye neentengiso zeehotele zodidi olulindeleke ukuba zifikelele kwi-92 yeebhiliyoni zeedola ngo-2025 (xa kuthelekiswa ne-76 yeebhiliyoni zeedola ngo-2019)
Kuphando, phantse i-60% yabahambi bathi mhlawumbi sele behlawula ukuphelisa ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni okanye beyithathela ingqalelo ukuba ixabiso lilungile.
