I-Irwin Mitchell, inkampani yamagqwetha ephambili, inike ingxelo yokwanda okukhulu kwenani labathengi abafuna ukumelwa emva kokuba amalungu eentsapho zabo okanye abahlobo bebandakanyeka kwiingozi ezibulalayo elizweni. Le nkampani ithi abantu baseBritane banokulindela ukulibaziseka okude kunye nembuyekezo encinci kakhulu ukuba banyanzelwa ukuba bafake ibango kwinkundla yaseTurkey.
AmaBritane ngoku alandela amanyathelo asemthethweni abandakanya uLinda Hudson, oneminyaka engama-51, wase-Essex, umyeni wakhe uGlenn wasweleka ngelixa ehamba nentombi yakhe ngoJulayi 24; abantu ababini abasinda kwingozi yebhaluni ekhokelele ekuswelekeni kukaGqr Kevin Beurle, isazinzulu esiphambili sasemajukujukwini, ngoMeyi ophelileyo; kunye nabahambi ababini beeholide abaye babandakanyeka kwiingozi ezibulalayo zejeep.
Kule nyanga iphelileyo intombazana eneminyaka elithoba ubudala yesikolo yaseWales yarhaxwa emva kwengozi yomlambo.
UPerry Roe, oneminyaka engama-46, wase-Ottery St Mary e-Devon, wasweleka ngo-2006 xa i-jeep evulekileyo apho usapho lwakhe lwalukhenketha khona, yaphambuka endleleni. Umfazi wakhe, uSiriol Roe, oneminyaka engama-44, nabantwana babo, abaneminyaka eli-14 neli-18 ubudala, basiwa esibhedlele.
Usapho lwalubhukishe ukhenketho kwinkampani yasekuhlaleni kumazantsi eTurkey.
“Amaphecana opapasho esiwabonileyo ayenobuchule kwaye apapasha ukuba inkampani ikwi-inshurensi epheleleyo,” utshilo uNksk. “Sasilunyukisiwe ngokuqesha imoto, kodwa ukhenketho lwalukuluhlu kwaye sasivakalelwa kukuba xa sinomqhubi wasekuhlaleni yonke into iza kulunga.”
UNksk. Roe uthe i-jeep ibiqhutywa ngendlela enobungozi kwaye ikwisantya esiphezulu, kwaye xa umqhubi ezama ukugqitha enye imoto waphulukana nolawulo.
“ITurkey lilizwe elihle, kodwa ukhuseleko ezindleleni luhlwempuzekile,” utshilo. “Kubalulekile ukufumana i-inshurensi yokuhamba. Umgaqo-nkqubo wethu uzihlawulele iindleko zomthetho nezonyango, kodwa sisalindele imbuyekezo emva kweminyaka emine.”
Isithethi seOfisi yezangaphandle sicebise abahambi abandwendwela eTurkey ukuba bathathe i-inshurensi ebanzi, njengoko amaKhadi e-Inshurensi yezeMpilo yaseYurophu (ekunika ukufikelela kunyango kumazwe angamalungu e-EU) awasebenzi apho. Ubongoze nabani na ojonga izenzo ezingakhuselekanga zabakhenkethi ukuba azixele kwabasemagunyeni eTurkey.
UGlenn Hudson usweleke kwinyanga ephelileyo emva kokubhukisha ukhenketho lokuhamba ngenqanawa kwifemu eseSide. Ngexesha lokubhabha, intambo yakhe yokubopha yagqabhuka yaza yawa 150ft emhlabeni. Umhlolokazi wakhe, uLinda, ufuna imbuyekezo kwiinkundla zaseTurkey kwaye ukhankasela imithetho engqongqo yokhuseleko. “Zazingekho iitshekhi,” watsho. “Basuka bababopha nje babathumela ukuba baye phezulu. Ucinga ukuba aba bantu bayayazi into abayenzayo; ucinga ukuba ikhuselekile.”
Ekuqaleni kwale nyanga uKen Wright, oneminyaka engama-22 ubudala, wabanga ukuba wasinda cebetshu ekufeni ngelixa wayehamba ngesikhephe kunxweme olunye lolwandle xa umtya wokubopha intambo yakhe yawa yaya kutsho kumsonto omnye.
UDemetrius Danas, ingcaphephe yomthetho wohambo e-Irwin Mitchell, wathi amatyala enkundla eTurkey ayedume ngokucotha kwaye imbuyekezo ihlala ingekho ngqiqweni. Ubongoze abakhenkethi ukuba baqinisekise ukuba i-inshurensi yabo igubungela nayiphi na imisebenzi abaya kuthatha inxaxheba kuyo, kwaye apho kunokwenzeka ukuba babhukishe uhambo kunye nomntu owaziwayo obhalisiweyo e-UK, ukuze ukuba kukho into engahambi kakuhle banokulandela ibango kwinkundla yaseBritane. .
“Irekhodi leshishini lezokhenketho laseTurkey kwimpilo nokhuseleko yinkxalabo yokwenyani,” utshilo uMnu Danas. "Inani elilinganiselweyo labantu ababhubhileyo kunye nokwenzakala okumanyumnyezi esijongana nabo minyaka le kwenzeke kwiindawo zokuchithela iiholide zaseTurkey, abakhenkethi abaninzi bengaqondi ukuba amanyathelo ezempilo nokhuseleko awazukuba ngqongqo njengalawo akwi-EU."
Ukuthandwa kweTurkey njengendawo yokuya ehlotyeni kukhule kwiminyaka yakutshanje. Ingxelo ye-Co-operative Travel ibonise ukuba kubekho ukuwa kwe-11.6 yeepesenti kwiindawo zokuchithela iiholide zaseMeditera kweli hlobo, xa kuthelekiswa nokunyuka kwe-23.4 yeepesenti ekubhukisheni eMorocco, eYiputa, eTunisia naseTurkey.
Phantse izigidi ezi-2.5 zamaBritane zatyelela eTurkey phakathi kuka-Aprili ka-2009 noMatshi ka-2010. Kwaba, abangama-93 basweleka kwaye i-140 bafuna unyango esibhedlele.
INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- He urged holidaymakers to ensure their insurance covered any activities they would be taking part in, and where possible to book excursions with a well-known operator registered in the UK, so that if anything did go wrong they could pursue a claim in a British court.
- “We had been warned about hiring a car, but the tour was in a convoy and we felt that with a local driver everything would be OK.
- “A disproportionate number of the fatalities and serious injuries that we deal with each year have occurred at Turkish resorts, with many tourists not realising that health and safety measures will not be as rigorous as those within the EU.
