I-International Air Transport Association (IATA) ibhengeze iziphumo ze-2022 Global Passenger Survey (GPS), ebonisa ukuba abahambi iinkxalabo eziphezulu zokuhamba ngexesha le-post-COVID ligxile ekwenzeni lula kunye nokulula.

“Ukuhamba ngexesha le-COVID-19 kwakunzima, kunzima kwaye kuthatha ixesha ngenxa yeemfuno zokuhamba ezibekwe ngurhulumente. Emva kobhubhani, abakhweli bafuna ukuphucuka lula kulo lonke uhambo lwabo. Ukwenziwa kwedijithali kunye nokusetyenziswa kwe-biometrics ukukhawulezisa uhambo lokuhamba ngundoqo, "utshilo uNick Careen, IATA's Senior Vice President for Operations, Safety and Security.

UCwangciso kunye nokuBhukha

Abakhweli bafuna lula xa becwangcisa uhambo lwabo naxa bekhetha indawo abanokusuka kuyo. Ukhetho lwabo kukubhabha ukusuka kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya kufutshane nekhaya, babe nazo zonke iindlela zokubhukisha kunye neenkonzo ezifumaneka kwindawo enye, bahlawule ngendlela abayithandayo yokuhlawula kwaye banciphise ngokulula ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni yabo.

Ukuba kufutshane nesikhululo seenqwelomoya yayiyeyona nto iphambili kubakhweli xa bekhetha indawo abaza kubhabhela kuyo ukusuka (75%). Oku bekubaluleke ngaphezu kwexabiso letikiti (39%).
Abahambi babeneliseka ngokukwazi ukuhlawula ngendlela abayithandayo yokuhlawula eyayifumaneka kwi-82% yabahambi. Ukufikelela kucwangciso kunye nolwazi lokubhukisha kwindawo enye kwachongwa njengento ephambili ephambili.
I-18% yabakhweli bathi bayayicima imisi yekhabhoni, esona sizathu sinikwe ngabo bebengayazi le ndlela (36%).

“Abahambi banamhlanje balindele amava afanayo kwi-intanethi njengoko befumana kubathengisi abakhulu Amazon. Ukuthengiswa kweenqwelomoya kukuqhuba impendulo kwezi mfuno. Ivumela iinqwelomoya ukuba zibonise umnikelo wazo opheleleyo kubahambi. Kwaye oko kubeka umkhweli ekulawuleni amava abo okuhamba kunye nokukwazi ukukhetha iindlela zokuhamba ezizifunayo kunye neendlela ezifanelekileyo zokuhlawula, "utshilo u-Muhammad Albakri, i-IATA iSekela likaMongameli oPhezulu wokuHlaliswa kweeMali kunye neeNkonzo zoSasazo.

Uncedo lokuHamba

Uninzi lwabakhenkethi luzimisele ukwabelana ngolwazi lwabo lokufudukela kwelinye ilizwe ukuze lusebenze ngakumbi.

I-37% yabahambi bathi baye badimazeka ekuhambeni ukuya kwindawo ethile ngenxa yeemfuno zokufudukela kwelinye ilizwe. Ubunzima benkqubo bugxininiswe njengeyona nto ithintelayo yi-65% yabahambi, i-12% ikhankanya iindleko kunye ne-8% yexesha.
Apho kufuneka ii-visa, i-66% yabahambi bafuna ukufumana i-visa kwi-intanethi ngaphambi kokuhamba, i-20% ikhetha ukuya kwi-consulate okanye i-ambassy kunye ne-14% kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya.
I-83% yabahambi bathi baya kwabelana ngolwazi lwabo lokufudukela kwelinye ilizwe ukukhawulezisa inkqubo yokufika kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya. Ngelixa oku kuphezulu, kwehle kancinci ukusuka kwi-88% erekhodwe ngo-2021.

“Abakhenkethi basixelele ukuba imiqobo yokuhamba ihleli. Amazwe aneenkqubo ze-visa ezintsonkothileyo aphulukana nezibonelelo zoqoqosho eziziswa ngaba bahambi. Apho amazwe azisusileyo iimfuno ze-visa, ukhenketho kunye noqoqosho lokuhamba luye lwakhula. Kwaye kumazwe afuna iindidi ezithile zabahambi ukuba bafumane ii-visa, ukuthatha ithuba lokuvuma kwabahambi ukusebenzisa iinkqubo ze-intanethi kunye nokwabelana ngolwazi kwangaphambili kuya kuba sisisombululo sokuphumelela, ”utshilo uCareen.

IiNkqubo zeSikhululo seenqwelomoya

Abakhweli bazimisele ukuthatha ithuba lobuchwepheshe kunye neenkqubo zokucinga kwakhona ukuphucula amava abo kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya kunye nokulawula imithwalo yabo.

Abakhweli bazimisele ukugqibezela izinto zokusebenza ngaphandle kwesikhululo seenqwelomoya. I-44% yabahambi bachonge ukungena njengokhetho lwabo oluphezulu lokusetyenzwa ngaphandle kwesikhululo seenqwelomoya. Iinkqubo zokufudukela kwelinye ilizwe zaziyeyesibini idume kakhulu "i-top-pick" kwi-32%, ilandelwa yimithwalo. Kwaye i-93% yabakhweli banomdla kwiprogram ekhethekileyo yabahambi abathembekileyo (i-background checks) ukukhawulezisa ukuhlolwa kokhuseleko.
Abakhweli banomdla kwiinketho ezininzi zokuphatha imithwalo. I-67% iya kuba nomdla ekuthathweni kwekhaya kunye nokuhanjiswa kunye ne-73% kwiinketho zokungena ezikude. I-80% yabakhweli bathe oko kunokwenzeka ukuba bajonge ibhegi ukuba banokuyibeka iliso kuhambo lonke. Kwaye ama-50% athi asebenzise okanye angathanda ukusebenzisa ithegi yebhegi ye-elektroniki.
Abakhweli babona ixabiso kuphawu lwebhayometriki. I-75% yabakhweli bafuna ukusebenzisa idatha ye-biometric endaweni yeepaspoti kunye nokupasa. Ngaphezulu kwesithathu sele benamava ngokusebenzisa ukuchongwa kwe-biometric kwiihambo zabo, kunye ne-88% yokwaneliseka. Kodwa ukukhuselwa kwedatha kuhlala kuyinkxalabo malunga nesiqingatha sabahambi.

“Abakhweli bayibona ngokucacileyo itekhnoloji njengesitshixo ekuphuculeni inkqubo yesikhululo seenqwelomoya lula. Bafuna ukufika kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya sele belungele ukubhabha, badlule kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya kuzo zozibini iziphelo zohambo lwabo ngokukhawuleza besebenzisa ibhayometriki kwaye bayazi ukuba uphi umthwalo wabo ngamaxesha onke. Itekhnoloji ikhona ukuxhasa la mava afanelekileyo. Kodwa sifuna intsebenziswano kulo lonke ikhonkco lexabiso kunye noorhulumente ukwenza ukuba kwenzeke. Kwaye kufuneka siqhubeke siqinisekisa abakhweli ukuba idatha efunekayo ukuxhasa amava anje iya kugcinwa ngokukhuselekileyo, utshilo uCareen.

Ishishini likulungele ukunika amandla iinkqubo zesikhululo seenqwelomoya ngebhayometriki ngenyathelo le-IATA ye-ID enye. I-COVID-19 incede oorhulumente baqonde amandla okuba abakhweli babelane nabo ngolwazi lwabo lokuhamba ngokuthe ngqo naphambi kohambo kunye namandla eenkqubo zebhayometriki ukuphucula ukhuseleko kunye neenkqubo zoququzelelo kunye nokusebenzisa ngokufanelekileyo izibonelelo ezinqabileyo. Ukwanda kwee-e-gates kwizikhululo zeenqwelo-moya kubonisa ukusebenza kakuhle okunokuzuzwa. Eyona nto iphambili kukuxhasa imigangatho ye-OneID ngommiselo ukuvumela ukusetyenziswa kwayo ukudala amava angenamthungo kuzo zonke iindawo zohambo lwabakhweli.
