Phambi kwenyikima kwiveki ephelileyo, iHaiti ibiqala ukwenza imali kwimozulu, indawo kunye nembonakalo yetropikhi eguqule uninzi lwabamelwane bayo beCaribbean baba yiparadesi yeeholide.
Iihotele ezintsha, ingqwalasela entsha evela kubatyali-mali bamazwe ngamazwe kunye ne-buzz phakathi kwabakhenkethi abaye batyelela kwiminyaka yamuva babonakala bebonisa umdla ohlaziyiweyo eHaiti njengendawo yokuya.
“[IHaiti] intle ngokwenene, yaye yintlekele yokungakwazi kwabo ukusebenzisa obo buhle bemvelo kwishishini lezokhenketho kuba bufanelekile,” watsho njalo uPauline Frommer, umyili weencwadi zesikhokelo zikaPauline Frommer, owatyelela elo lizwe. ngexesha lokuhamba ngenqanawa ekwindla yokugqibela.
Abamelwane baseHaiti kwiiCaribbean baquka iindawo ezishushu zeholide ezifana neJamaica, iiTurks kunye neCaicos Islands kunye nePuerto Rico. Kodwa akukho ncwadana zinemifanekiso eqaqambileyo kwiilwandle zaseHaiti.
Kunoko, iindaba ezingeembacu zamaphenyane aseHaiti kunye nongquzulwano kwizitrato zasePort-au-Prince, ikomkhulu, yimifanekiso ethe chatha ezingqondweni zoluntu.
“Xa abantu becinga ngeholide yaselwandle, abafuni kuya ndaweni ithile apho kusenokubakho imfazwe yamakhaya,” utshilo uFrommer.
Ibali lezizwe ezibini
Ibilibali elahlukileyo kungekudala.
Kwiiyure nje ezimbini ukusuka eMiami, eFlorida, iHaiti yayinelona shishini linamandla labakhenkethi kwiCaribbean ngeminyaka yee-1950 neyee-60, ngokutsho kweAmericans, iphephancwadi loMbutho wamazwe aseMerika.
Kodwa izinto zaba mbi njengoko imeko yezopolitiko yayisiya isiba maxongo.
“Ulawulo lwabo luthathe ixesha elifutshane kakhulu, bekukho ubhukuqo-mbuso, oorhulumente basemkhosini bangenile, bekukho ingcinezelo. Le asiyondawo imemayo kukhenketho,” utshilo uAllen Wells, unjingalwazi wembali kwiKholeji yaseBowdoin.
Ngeli xesha, iRiphabhlikhi yaseDominican - ummelwane ozinzileyo waseHaiti kwisiqithi sase-Hispaniola - waqala ukucwangcisa kunye nokutyala imali kwishishini lezokhenketho kwiminyaka yoo-1970, utshilo u-Wells, ngenzuzo enkulu kwiminyaka yakutshanje.
Phantse abantu abazizigidi ezi-4 bandwendwela iRiphabhlikhi yaseDominican ngo-2008, elona suku lwamva nje apho ulwazi lonyaka lufumanekayo, ngokutsho kweCaribbean Tourism Organisation.
Eli qela lalingenawo amanani eHaiti, kodwa iReuters inike ingxelo yokuba malunga neendwendwe ezingama-900,000 ngonyaka ngoku zindwendwela ilizwe, nangona uninzi lufika ngeenqanawa zokuhamba ngenqanawa kuhambo olufutshane ngaphandle kokuchitha imali kwiindawo zokuchithela iiholide kunye neeresityu ngendlela ebebeya kwenza ngayo kwindawo emiselweyo yokuya ekhefini. .
Ukhenketho lubalele phantse ikota yemveliso yasekhaya yaseDominican Republic - iibhiliyoni zeedola - ngokutsho koMphathiswa wezoKhenketho welizwe.
Ukungena kulolo hlobo lwemali kuya kuba luncedo olukhulu eHaiti, ilizwe elihlwempuzekileyo kwiNtshona yeHemisphere, kodwa kuya kuthatha isicwangciso esiqinileyo nokuzibophezela, u-Wells uthe.
Iimpawu zenkqubela
Iminyaka yakutshanje izise ithemba kwishishini lezokhenketho elisakhulayo laseHaiti.
IChoice Hotels isandula kubhengeza ukuba iza kuvula iihotele ezimbini eJacmel, idolophu entle kumazantsi eHaiti. Ikhonkco lehotele alizange libe nohlaziyo malunga nendlela inyikima eya kuzichaphazela ngayo ezo zicwangciso, utshilo uDavid Peikin, umlawuli ophezulu wonxibelelwano lwe-Choice Hotels International.
Umongameli uClinton, oye wabizwa ngokuba ngumthunywa okhethekileyo weZizwe eziManyeneyo eHaiti kwintwasahlobo ephelileyo, utyelele ilizwe ngo-Okthobha ukukhuthaza ukhenketho lwasekhaya kwaye uxelele abatyali mali ukuba lixesha elifanelekileyo lokwenza iHaiti "indawo enomtsalane yabakhenkethi."
Kunyaka ophelileyo, iHaiti iphinde yadibana neVenezuela yokwakha isikhululo seenqwelomoya sesibini eCap-Haitien, isixeko sesibini ngobukhulu eHaiti, ingxelo yeReuters.
ILonely Planet ide yabiza iHaiti lelinye lawona mazwe anomdla kwihlabathi ekunokuhamba kuwo.
“Abatyeleli abazimiseleyo ukuya kubona ukuba kwenzeka ntoni na emhlabeni eHaiti… bamangalisiwe koko bakufumanayo,” utshilo uRobert Reid, umhleli wezohambo wase-US weLonely Planet.
“Awufumani matshini wokushicilela ulungileyo,” watsho. “[Kodwa] kukho okungakumbi kuyo ngaphantsi komhlaba kunokuba kuxelwe ngokufuthi ngaphandle.”
Ukumisa inqanawa
Uninzi lwabakhenkethi abaye baya eHaiti kusenokwenzeka ukuba baye kwi-peninsula ye-Labadee - malunga neekhilomitha ezili-100 ukusuka ePort-au-Prince - babekwe apho imini yemisebenzi ngenqanawa yaseRoyal Caribbean.
Le nkampani ichithe i-50 yezigidi zeedola ekuphuhliseni le ndawo, iyenza ibe ngumtyali-mali omkhulu wangaphandle waseHaiti, utshilo u-Adam Goldstein, umongameli kunye ne-CEO ye-Royal Caribbean International, kudliwano-ndlebe ne-NPR.
Kodwa abagxeki bathi uLabadee akananto yakwenza nenkcubeko yasekuhlaleni. Abanye abantu basenokungazi nokuba baseHaiti xa bendwendwela oko kuthethwa ngabakhenkethi “njengeparadesi yabucala yaseRoyal Caribbean.”
UFrommer, ochithe usuku eLabadee ngexesha lokuhamba ngenqanawa, wathi abasebenzi baseRoyal Caribbean "balumke kakhulu, balumke kakhulu" ukuba bangabhekiseli kuyo njengeHaiti, nangona iWebhusayithi yenkampani ibandakanya igama lelizwe kuluhlu lwayo lwamazibuko.
(IRoyal Caribbean iqhubekile nokuzisa abakhenkethi eLabadee ukusukela oko kwabakho inyikima.
U-Frommer wamangaliswa bubuhle obunzulu bendalo baloo ndawo, kuquka amahlathi ashinyeneyo kunye nonxweme oluhle lwesanti emhlophe, kodwa wakhawuleza walubona ukhuseleko olunzima.
“Kwenzeke ukuba ndikhwele i-zip line, ikukhuphele ngaphandle komzi, kwaye uyaqonda ukuba wonke lo mmandla wabucala waseHaiti ujikelezwe ngocingo oluhlabayo. Ifana nenqaba,” utshilo uFrommer.
Akukho luhambo lunikezelwayo ngaphaya kwendawo ekhuselekileyo, utshilo.
'Ulwaphulo-mthetho oluzenzekelayo'
Amanyathelo okhuseleko asenokungothusi xa kujongwa ukungavisisani ekudala kukho kulo mmandla.
Phambi kwenyikima, isilumkiso seSebe lase-US lokuhamba eHaiti sibongoze abemi base-US ukuba balumke kakhulu xa bendwendwela ilizwe.
"Nangona imeko yokhuseleko iyonke iphucukile, ukungavisisani kwezopolitiko kusekho, kwaye ubundlobongela obuphenjelelwa yizopolitiko busaqhubeka," isilumkiso sesebe saphambi kwenyikima satsho.
“Ukungabikho kwamapolisa asebenzayo kwimimandla emininzi yaseHaiti kuthetha ukuba, xa kuqhankqalazwa, kukho amathuba okuphangwa, ukuvalwa kweendlela ngamaxesha athile ngabaqhankqalazi abaxhobileyo okanye ngamapolisa, nolwaphulo-mthetho olungacwangciswanga olunokwenzeka, kuquka ukuqweqwedisa. ukuqweqwediswa kweemoto, ukuhlasela amakhaya, ukukhuthuza kuxhotyiwe nokubethwa.”
Yintoni elandelayo?
Emva kwenyikima enkulukazi, kukho uloyiko lokuba nayiphi na inkqubela eyenziwe kutshanje lishishini lezokhenketho yelizwe ingacinywa.
“Ndiyakucaphukela ukutsho ukuba iya kuba sisithintelo, kodwa andicingi ukuba ayinjalo,” utshilo uFrommer.
Kodwa kwakukho nethemba lokuba ekubeni inyikima yayikwindawo yasePort-au-Prince, ezinye iindawo zelizwe zingahlala zisendleleni yenkqubela.
"Zonke iiprojekthi zophuhliso ... ukhenketho, isikhululo seenqwelomoya ekufuneka sakhiwe kumantla eHaiti - yonke enye into kufuneka ihlale kwishedyuli," uClinton wabhala kwiphephancwadi iTime kwiveki ephelileyo.
UReid wayenethemba lokuba abantu abathontelana ukuya eHaiti bevela kwihlabathi liphela ukuza kunceda emva kwentlekele baya kushukunyiswa bubunzima bayo kwaye babubone ubuhle bayo.
“Abantu bafuna ukuhamba njengabakhenkethi abanoxanduva kwaye baye kwindawo apho imali yabo inokukwazi ukwenza umahluko,” utshilo uReid.
