Othembele Kwezokuvakasha

The ukuwa okumangazayo kuwumkhiqizo wokwehluleka ngokuphelele kweCaribbean ukwehlukanisa imisebenzi yayo yezomnotho kanye nombono we-myopic wezinsizakusebenza zawo. Lesi ngesinye sezindawo zomhlaba ezihlukene kakhulu lapho ezokuvakasha zibalwa ngamaphesenti ayi-14 e-GDP ngonyaka we-2019, iningi lazo zonke izifunda. Amazwe e-LAC aphakathi kwezinkinga eziningi kakhulu emhlabeni futhi izinhlekelele zemvelo zifana nemisebenzi yansuku zonke kunokushaqeka noma ukumangala. Okusha, nokho, isivinini esiphakeme ngokudabukisayo nesabisayo nokuphikelela i-coronavirus ethinte ngakho izisekelo zezomnotho zalezi zindawo. 

Ukuphuma ekuphoqelelwe ukulala, ukuphathwa kwezihambi, ezokuvakasha, kanye nezokuvakasha ezisinde kulo bhubhane olubi kakhulu manje sezisele nomsebenzi omkhulu wokukhipha imboni kude nokuxhaswa kwempilo nokuyixhasa ukuze ibuyele empilweni.

Njenganoma ngubani oke wagula - kunesidingo sokuthatha izinyathelo (kaningi izinyathelo zezingane), ukuze usuke ekuguleni uye empilweni. Uma iziguli zinenhlanhla, abangani, umndeni, nezeluleko ezinhle ezivela kubacwaningi be-Google abaku-inthanethi bazohlinzeka ngezindlela zokululama. Iziguli zingakhubeka futhi zishelele emuva amahlandla ambalwa, kepha ngokuzikhandla nokuzimisela, zizolulama futhi zikulungele ukulwa.

Kuthungelwe Amathumbu

Ngokuya nge-Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) ubhubhane lwe-COVID-19 kwaholela ekuweni kwezomnotho okubi kakhulu eLatin American naseCaribbean eminyakeni engamakhulu amabili. Ngaphandle kobunzima bezomnotho umthelela owonakalisayo wobhubhane emphakathini nasezinhlelweni zezempilo. Yize lesi sifunda simelela amaphesenti ayi-8 kuphela omphakathi womhlaba sibike amaphesenti angama-28 abo bonke abantu abashonile (atlanticcouncil.org).

Ngisho nangaphambi kwalolu bhubhane, ukusebenza komnotho jikelele esifundeni bekukubi kunakho konke emhlabeni okulinganisa ukukhula kwamaphesenti ayi-0.1 kuphela kumkhiqizo ophelele wasekhaya (GDP) ngonyaka wezi-2019. Phakathi konyaka wezi-2013 nowe-2019, ukukhula kweLatin America neCaribbean GDP kwaba nesilinganiso esingu-0.8% nesifunda akakaze akwazi ukuthuthukisa umnotho ozinzile.

Amazwe ahlukaniswe kakhulu ngokuya ngokutholakala kwezimpahla zomphakathi nezangasese, kusuka kumathuba ezomnotho nezemfundo kuya ekunakekelweni kwezempilo kanye nemvelo ehlanzekile / ephephile eyenziwe yambi ngamazinga aphezulu okungahleleki kwabasebenzi, ukutshalwa kwezimali kwangasese okuncane (16% GDP), uma kuqhathaniswa nezinye izifunda, futhi lokhu kunomthelela ekukhiqizeni, ekuvuseleleni nasekudaleni imisebenzi esemthethweni (cepal.org, 2020).

Kusukela kuvalwa izikhumulo zezindiza kanye nemikhawulo yokuhamba kwabathengi, izivakashi zaseCaribbean zehle ngamaphesenti angama-67 ngo-2020 ngokusho kwedatha ye-UN, i-IMF inqume ukuthi ukuhlala kwamahhotela minyaka yonke kwehle ngamaphesenti angama-70, futhi ukuhamba ngomkhumbi kuhamba ngokuphelele. 

Yize kunezinhlelo zokugoma kanye nokwehla kancane kwemikhawulo yezokuhamba, ukululama kweCaribbean kuhamba kancane kuphoqa i-International Monetary Fund (IMF) ukwehlisa izinga lokukhula elibekiwe ngo-2021 lisuka ku-4.0 laya ku-2.4 phesenti esifundeni sonke. Kube okungenani okungenani izifo ezingama-38,789,000 ezibikiwe kanti ezingu-1,310,000 zibike ngokufa okubangelwe yi-novel coronavirus eLatin America naseCaribbean (graphics.reuters.com). Kuzo zonke izifo eziyikhulu ezigcine ukubikwa emhlabeni wonke, cishe zingama-100 zabikwa zivela emazweni aseLatin America naseCaribbean. Isifunda njengamanje sibika ukutheleleka okusha okuyisigidi cishe zonke izinsuku eziyi-26 futhi sesibike ngaphezu kuka-8 selokhu kwaqala ubhadane.

Ukwehliswa kwabavakashi kwaphoqa imboni ukuthi yehlise ukuqashwa - okuthi, esifundeni lapho ezokuvakasha zibamba khona imisebenzi eyizigidi ezingama-2.8 (cishe amaphesenti ayi-15 emisebenzi ephelele). Lokhu kuyinkinga enkulu yezomnotho. Sekukonke, iCaribbean ilahlekelwe yimisebenzi engaphezu kwezigidi ezimbili ngenxa yalolu bhubhane (i-International Labour Organisation), eminingi emkhakheni wezokuvakasha.

Njengoba amazwe e-LAC ebhekene namagagasi amasha we-coronavirus phakathi komkhankaso wokugoma ophuza, ukululama kuzoba nzima. Izakhiwo ezinkulu zivaliwe: EDominican Republic, igumbi lama-400 Excellence Punta Kana resort; eJamaica, iHalf Moon Hotel Jamaica (400); eSt. Kitts, ikamelo lama-50 i-Ocean Terrace Inn.

Ngakolunye uhlangothi amaSandals Resorts kanye neBeach Resorts bebegcine ukukhangisa kuqhubeka, bathuthukisa uhlelo lwabo lokugoma kanye nezokuphepha kwezokuvakasha namazinga ezempilo. Umphumela ube ngamazinga amahle kakhulu okuhlala abantu kuso sonke lesi sikhathi esibucayi, ngokususelwa ekwethembekeni kwabathengi okwenziwe ngemikhankaso yokufinyelela kulaka.
Izimbadada nezindawo zokungcebeleka emabhishi zethembisa iholidi elingenakukhathazeka futhi ngikwazile ukufeza lesi sithembiso kuze kube manje.

Akunakwenzeka ukuthi ezokuvakasha zibuyele emuva kuze kube yilapho isifunda silawula leli gciwane. Njengamanje, iPan American Health Organisation ithola ukuthi umhlaba "uphakathi kokuqubuka okuya ngokuya kuba kubi," futhi igciwane liyaqhubeka nokufika esiqhingini seCaribbean lapho kukhuphuka khona izibalo zansuku zonke, futhi ohulumeni baseCaribbean abanezikweletu banezinsiza ezimbalwa zokugcina umnotho wabo uqhubeka .

UNgqongqoshe Wezokuvakasha waseJamaica, u-Edmund Barlett ubheke lolu daba olubanzi ngeso lomhlaba futhi wazithathela inkinga. Ivumele iJamaica ukuthi inikele esixazululweni futhi yenza izwi laseCaribbean lizwakale ngokuzwakalayo nangokucacile. IJamaica yaba ikhaya leGlobal Tourism Resilience and Crisis Management Center enamagatsha aseMalta, eNepal, eKenya, futhi kungekudala naseSaudi Arabia. UBartlett utshele eTurboNews, ukuthi ujabulile ngokwanda kwezinombolo zokufika kwezivakashi zamanje.

Isikhati eside

Ukulahleka kwemisebenzi emkhakheni wezokuvakasha kunomthelela cishe ngokuphelele entsheni, kwabesifazane, nakubasebenzi abangafundile kangako ngakho-ke kwandisa ubuphofu nokungalingani. Ukushoda kokwehluka nokusimama kubuye kuvule ukuvalwa kwamabhizinisi nokuqothuka phakathi kwamahhotela, izindawo zokungcebeleka kanye neminye imikhakha ehlotshaniswa nezinsizakalo zezokuvakasha (okungukuthi, izindawo zokudla, ezokuthengisa, abasebenza ukuvakasha, abashayeli bamatekisi). Ngokuncishiswa kwezindiza kanye nokuphikisana okuqhubekayo nezinqumo zokuhamba / ukungabikho emkhakheni wezokuhamba ngezikebhe, abalingani bemboni abathembele kubagibeli bezikebhe abanalutho abangasiza ngalo uma imikhumbi ikhanseliwe unomphela noma ibuyiselwa kwezinye izindawo.

Umgodi Wemali          

Isifunda seCaribbean sikhona ikakhulu esikweletini. Yize umphakathi wamazwe omhlaba uvule isikhwama sawo esihlangene ukuhlangabezana nesidingo sokusetshenziswa kwemali yomphakathi esifundeni, ukwesekwa kube yinkemba esika nhlangothi zombili; izingcindezi zesikhathi esiseduze zincishisiwe kepha amazwe amaningi manje abhekene nenselelo njengoba ukwanda kwemali eshodayo kanye nokuboleka kuya kuba nzima futhi nezinkinga ziyaqhubeka.
