Ukhenketho lwase-Egypt luyaqhubeka nokuphumelela, kwaye lukhupha uqikelelo luka-2008

Icandelo lezokhenketho lase-Egypt lijonge phambili ekuphumleni okuhle konyaka emva kokuxela ukuba iJiphutha yenze ngaphezulu kwe-100 lezigidi zobusuku babakhenkethi kunye ne-9.5 yeebhiliyoni zeedola kwingeniso yokhenketho ukusukela ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka.

USekela Mphathiswa wezoKhenketho e-Egypt u-Hisham Zaazou uthe ingeniso evela kukhenketho ibone ukunyuka okubukhali kwezi kota zimbini zidlulileyo. “I-Egypt ibonise indawo ekhethekileyo yokufika kwabakhenkethi ngokuba yindawo yokuqala yokhenketho kuMbindi Mpuma, uMntla Afrika kunye ne-Afrika ngokwayo. Oku kubonisa kuphela ukuba abakhenkethi bamazwe ngamazwe baziva bengabanini bezabelo kunye nokuthatha inxaxheba kwindawo ekusingwa kuyo ngokwayo. Ukuba nesabelo kwabo kuqoqosho lwezokhenketho kuqinisekisa ukuqhubeka kunye nokuzinza koshishino kwiminyaka ezayo,” utshilo.

Ukuphakama kokhenketho lwaseArabia eJiphutha libandakanya i-20 yepesenti yabafikeli bengingqi, ebonisa abakhenkethi abazizigidi ezili-11.1 abafika eYiputa ukususela ekuqaleni konyaka ukuya kwikota yokuqala ka-2008. “Utyalo-mali luyakhula ngoku lo gama sithe gqolo ukumema abatyali-zimali ukuba bangenise ishishini labo kumathuba awodwa nokuba kukukhenkethi okanye nawaphi na amacandelo ancedisayo abonelelwa lulo okanye nayiphi na imisebenzi enxulumeneyo efana nerestyu kunye neebhari. I-Egypt ivuleleke kushishino,” utshilo uZaazou.

Ukufika kwezizwe ngezizwe kunyukile eJiphutha njengoko ingxelo yeZizwe eziManyeneyo yezoKhenketho kwiHlabathi liphela amanani atyhalelwa ukuya kuthi ga kwi-8.5 pesenti yabafikeli bamazwe ngamazwe abalwa UNWTO ngezigidi ezingama-50 zizonke kunyaka ophelileyo kwindawo ekuyiwa kuyo. Esi sabelo sibonisa, ngokutsho kukaZaazou, impumelelo engakholelekiyo yorhwebo lwabakhenkethi lwase-Egypt ngo-2007.

Uthe intsebenziswano yecandelo likarhulumente nelabucala elithatha inxaxheba kolu shishino lenze kakuhle kweli xesha lamva nje libonisa ukuba ukhuphiswano luya kuba lukhuni kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo luza kuba nentamo kunye nentamo kwiminyaka ezayo.

Ngokujonga ushishino olulindelwe nguMphathiswa wezoKhenketho waseYiphutha uZoheir Gharana, iJiphutha inokufikelela kwinani elipheleleyo le-14 lezigidi abafikayo ngo-2010/2011. UZaazou uphinde wathi i-United Arab Emirates ityale i-4 yeebhiliyoni zeedola kwicandelo lezokhenketho laseYiputa, elibalelwa kwi-30 yeepesenti yotyalo-mali olupheleleyo lwama-Arabhu kweli lizwe.

UZaazou, umncedisi womphathiswa wezokhenketho wokuqala welizwe, uqinisekisile ukuba icandelo lezokhenketho libandakanya i-11.3 yeepesenti yemveliso yasekhaya yase-Egypt (GDP) kunye ne-19.3 yeepesenti yotyalo-mali lulonke olwenziwe kwiimali zangaphandle.

I-Egypt yayihamba phambili kwingingqi yaseMbindi Mpuma, apha abakhenkethi abazizigidi ezili-11.1 batyelela ilizwe, ngokuchasene ne-9 yezigidi kwi-2006; okuphawula ukwanda okubalulekileyo kweepesenti ezingama-22.1. Ngenxa yoko, kwaye ngokutsho kweBhanki Enkulu yaseYiputa, ingeniso yokhenketho yafikelela kwi-US $ 9.4 yezigidi kwi-2007.

I-Russia yayiyeyona ndawo iphambili kwimarike yomthombo ngo-2007, abafikayo bafikelela kwi-1.5 yezigidi, bebetha iJamani kunye ne-UK, amanani abo adlula i-1 yesigidi sabakhenkethi ngo-2007. Ngokubhekiselele ekufikeni kweYiputa ukusuka kuMbindi Mpuma, bafikelela malunga nabakhenkethi bezigidi ezi-983,000, benyuka neLibya kwi-464,000, elandelwa yi-Saudi Arabia kwi-2. Abafikayo bevela eUkraine bafikelela kuma-439,000 412,000, balandelwa yiPoland ngama-358,000 335,000, yaye
eye-10 kuluhlu lwabakhenkethi abafikayo yaba yiMelika enabakhenkethi abangama-272,000 abafika eYiputa.

I-Egypt iyonwabele ingeniso enamanani aphindwe kabini kwigumbi ngalinye elikhoyo (elihlala libizwa ngokuba yi-revPAR) ukukhula kuzo zonke iimarike, icandelo lezokhenketho linike ingxelo.
