Umthengi ufile. Phila ixesha elide umthengi.
Ukuba nawuphi na umzi-mveliso bekufanele ukuba ube yinxalenye yolu tshintsho, imigca yokuhamba ngenqanawa, kunye “neendawo ezinkulu ezidadayo” eziphakelana nokuthanda kwabathengi, ibinokubakho ukukhuphisana.
Nangona kunjalo emva kweenyanga ezili-18 ezinzima, ishishini libona ukuphindaphinda okumangalisayo kwemfuno, uphawu oluxelayo lwengqondo yabathengi baseMelika. Oko kuqinisa umgca ophezulu wabaqhubi abafana neCarnival Corp., abahlalutyi balindele ukuba ngoLwesibini baxele ukuba ingeniso yeenyanga ezintathu eziphela ngoFebruwari inyuke yaya kwi-3.1 yeebhiliyoni zeedola, i-8% ukusuka kunyaka ongaphambili, ngokutsho kwe-Thomson Reuters.
Ngoku kuza inxalenye enzima, ukufumana kwakhona amandla athile amaxabiso. UMlawuli oyiNtloko yeCarnival uGerry Cahill kwinyanga ephelileyo ubhengeze ixabiso "lonke-kwibhodi" linyuka malunga ne-5% eqale ukusebenza ngoMvulo. ICompetitor Norwegian Cruise Line ithe izakunyusa amaxabiso okukhwela ukuya kuthi ga kwi-7% ukuqala nge-2 ka-Epreli.
Nokuba olu nyuso luza kuthetha lukhulu malunga nendlela abathengi abazimisele ngayo ukuchitha ukungabikho kwezaphulelo ezinzulu. Iyakubonisa ukuba ishishini lokuhamba ngenqanawa lifumene ukuhamba ngesikhephe okucacileyo, emva kokulwa indlela yalo kumonakalo wokudodobala koqoqosho.
ICarnival, oyena mqhubi mkhulu wehlabathi oneenqanawa ezingama-82 kunye neentlobo ezili-10 ezahlukeneyo, ngomnye wemigca emininzi enike ingxelo yokubhukisha iirekhodi ngexesha lasebusika “ixesha lamaza,” ngokwembali lelona xesha lixakekileyo lonyaka kushishino.
Iqela loRhwebo leCruise Lines International Association lithe i-2010 kulindeleke ukuba ibeke phezulu kumthamo wabakhweli, kunye nabahambi abazizigidi ezili-14.3 kulo nyaka, ukunyuka kwe-6.4% ukusuka ku-2009. Ukuhla ngo-10.7 kwaba kokokuqala ukuhla kwiminyaka eli-2008.
Ngelixa iindlela zokuhamba ngenqanawa zithotyiwe ukurhwebesha abakhweli, amafutha aphantsi kakhulu kunye neendleko zabasebenzi ziye zathomalalisa ezinye iintlungu. Njengoko ezo ndleko ziqala ukuphinda zinyuke, kwaye ukomeleza idola yaseMelika kulimaza ukhuphiswano, abaqhubi abafana neCarnival baya kuxhomekeka ngakumbi kumaxabiso aphezulu ukuxhasa imida.
Kwaye nokuba abathengi bajonge ukomelela ngakumbi, uninzi lusaqhutywa lixabiso kwaye ke banokucinywa ngamaxabiso aphezulu.
Ukuba oko kwenzeka, isitokhwe seCarnival, esiphindeke kabini kwiinyanga ezili-16 ezidlulileyo, sinokujongana nokuhamba ngenqanawa.
