Izitofotofo ziphinde zavavanywa njengoko uhlahlo-lwabiwo mali luyomelela

Ukuhlala kwiihotele ezitofotofo, izithuthi eziluncedo kwezemidlalo kunye nolunye uloyiso lwabantu baseMelika abahambahambayo banokuba phakathi kwamaxhoba okuqala okudodobala koqoqosho e-US njengoko abathengi kunye namashishini ngokufanayo ejonge ekulawuleni inkcitho.

Kubathengisi bezo mpahla kunye neenkonzo, ukusuka kwi-American Airlines kunye ne-Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide ukuya kubenzi beemoto baseDetroit, u-2008 unokuba ngowokuqala kwiminyaka emininzi engenamandla.

Ngelixa iinkampani ezininzi zingekaboni ukwehla kwemfuno, nangona kunjalo zijonge oko kwenzeka njengoko olona qoqosho lukhulu kwihlabathi lucotha.

UJim Farley, umphathi wezentengiso wakwaFord Motor, uthe: “Akuzukuba lula, noko okwethutyana.”

Bomelezwe kukunyuka kwexabiso lamakhaya abo, abathengi abaninzi base-US bachithe ngokukhululekileyo nangokuqhubekayo. Ngoku ukuba amaxabiso ezindlu nomhlaba ahlayo kunye nemigangatho engqongqo yokuboleka imali yenze ukuba kube nzima ukuboleka, imikhwa yokuchitha imali yabantu baseMelika inokuthi itshintshe, nayo.

UJohn Schmitt, ingcali yezoqoqosho kwiZiko Lophando Lwezoqoqosho Nomgaqo-nkqubo eWashington, wathi: “Abathengi baseMerika bebephila ngezindlu zabo kangangeminyaka emithandathu ukuya kwesixhenxe edluleyo.

“Nayiphi na indawo yoqoqosho exhomekeke kakhulu ekusetyenzisweni kwabantu abarhola abaphakathi nabaphezulu baya kuba sesichengeni, ngakumbi ukuba kukho ingqiqo,” utshilo.

Ukuthengiswa kweemoto kunye neelori ezikhaphukhaphu kuye kwathabath' unyawo ukuya kumyinge wonyaka omalunga ne-15.2m yeeyunithi kwinyanga ephelileyo ukusuka kwi-16.7ma kunyaka ophelileyo.

IToyota, iFord, iChrysler, iHonda kunye neNissan zonke zithumele intengiso ephantsi kaJanuwari. IGeneral Motors, eyona ndawo yodwa eqaqambileyo yeshishini, ibonise ukonyuka kombulelo kwiimodeli ezintsha.

Imfuno yezithuthi ezitsha yayikwinqanaba eliphantsi kakhulu kunyaka ophelileyo ukususela ngo-1998, kwaye abahlalutyi abaninzi kunye nabavelisi baqikelela ukuba ukuthengisa kuya kutyibilika ngakumbi kwi-2008.

U-Alan Mulally, umphathi oyintloko wakwaFord, uthe umenzi wemoto uza kunqumla imveliso yemoto yaseMntla Melika nangona kunjalo kuninzi okufunekayo ukuhlangabezana nenjongo yakhe yokubuyela kwinzuzo kunyaka ozayo.

“Rhoqo ngenyanga, siza kujonga imarike kwaye sibone ukuba leliphi inqanaba lemfuno,” utshilo uMnu Mulally.

I-Global Insight, umcebisi, uqikelela ukuba i-Detroit iya kubhatala imveliso ukuya kwi-8.8m yeeyunithi kulo nyaka ukusuka kwi-9.5m ngo-2007, ukucutha okulinganayo malunga nezityalo ezine zendibano. Ukuncitshiswa kunokwenzeka ukuba kube nzulu ngakumbi ukuba uqoqosho luya kuhla.

Iinkampani zeenqwelomoya nazo ziyadendwa. Uninzi lwabathwali abakhulu banqumle izicwangciso zokwandisa kulo nyaka, ngakumbi kwiindlela ezidibanisa izixeko ezibini zase-US.

Abanye abathwali, kubandakanya iMelika, baceba ukunciphisa umthamo wasekhaya.

UNicole Crain, unjingalwazi otyeleleyo wezoqoqosho kwiKholeji yaseLafayette, uthe: “Ngalo lonke ixesha sikwimeko yokudodobala koqoqosho, inqwelo-moya ibetha. Uhambo lokuzonwabisa lukhetho.”

Iinqwelomoya ezizeleyo kunye namaxabiso aphezulu zincede iinkampani zeenqwelo moya ukuba zinike inzuzo yesibini ethe tye kunyaka ophelileyo - akukho mpumelelo incinci xa kucingwa ukuba abathwali balahlekelwe yimali malunga nesithathu sexesha ukusukela ekuyekisweni koshishino lwaseMelika ngo-1978.

UGiovanni Bisignani, umphathi oyintloko woMbutho wezoThutho loMoya waMazwe ngaMazwe, uthe imfuno yokuhamba ngenqwelomoya inyuke kakhulu.

“Akusayi kubakho ntsebenzo iphambili ngo-2008,” utshilo uMnu Bisignani. “Amaxabiso e-oyile aphezulu kunakuqala. Ukungaqiniseki kwezoqoqosho okukhapha ukwehla kwamatyala e-US kuya kuba banzi. Kwaye ukukhula kancinci kwemfuno yabakhweli ngoDisemba kubeka umkhwa kwiinyanga ezizayo. ”

Ukwehliswa kwemfuno yokuhamba ngenqwelomoya kungabeka uxinzelelo ngakumbi kwinzuzo yeenqwelomoya ukuba ayikhatshwa kukuhla kweendleko zamafutha.

Xa inqwelo-moya ibhabha inabakhweli abambalwa, abathwali abanakudlula kunyuso lwemali oluya kuphelisa inxalenye yetyala labo eliphezulu lamafutha.

Okanye, njengoko uGerard Arpey, umphathi oyintloko waseMerika, watshoyo kwinyanga ephelileyo emva kokuba inkampani yakhe ichaze ilahleko yekota yesine: “Njengoko kusoloko kunjalo kweli shishini, zininzi iingxaki ezijamelene nenkampani yethu yeenqwelo-moya.”

Abaqhubi beehotele banokujongana neengxaki ezifanayo nokuba, njengoko uninzi lweenqwelomoya ezinkulu ziphawulwe, imfuno ihlala isempilweni kwiiveki ezintandathu zokuqala zalo nyaka.

I-Starwood, ephethe i-Sheraton, i-W kunye ne-Westin chain, inqumle uqikelelo lwe-2008 kwinyanga ephelileyo ukubonisa "ukungaqiniseki okujikeleze imeko yezoqoqosho yase-US kunye nefuthe layo kwiipatheni zokuhamba".

Umnumzana Schmitt uthe: “Uninzi lwabantu luya kube luthatha izigqibo zokungayi kwiiholide ezixabisa kakhulu, lokungayifumani imoto entsha.

“Akunyanzelekanga ukuba uphulukane nomsebenzi wakho ukuze izinga lentswela-ngqesho lichaphazele izinga olisebenzisa ngalo. Ujonge egxalabeni lakho,” wongeze watsho.
