Ngokusho kochwepheshe bemboni yezokuvakasha, izindaba zanamuhla zokuthi Tui ivala ama-ejensi wezokuvakasha ayi-166 e-UK nase-Ireland, akumangazi ngemuva kokuthi inkampani yezokuvakasha yaseYurophu isivele imemezele izindlela zokufaka ukusebenza ngemiphumela emiphumeleni yayo yonyaka wesigamu ekuqaleni konyaka.

Njengoba izivakashi ezingama-45% zikhetha ukuthenga imikhiqizo eminingi ku-inthanethi emhlabeni osanda kubhebhetheka, kungenzeka ukuthi amanxusa amaningi e-UK azohlola amasu awo wezitini nodaka futhi enze lesi sinyathelo sokunciphisa izindleko ngesikhathi isidingo singakabuyi .

Ama-ejensi nabahlinzeki abanemodeli yebhizinisi ekhanya kakhulu kusesezingeni elicacile lokumelana nokungaqiniseki okuqhubeka nokuzungeza ukubuyiswa kohambo ngoba abanazo izindleko eziphakeme kakhulu ezifana nerenti, izikweletu nezinye izinsiza okufanele bazikhokhele. Isinqumo se-TUI sokuthulula siyisibonakaliso sokuthi sibheke ukuhambela kule ndlela.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngonyaka odlule, abathengi ababezobhuka kakhulu enkampanini yezokuvakasha esitolo babeneminyaka engama-65 nangaphezulu (20%). Njengoba lezi zingena esigabeni 'abasengozini' ye Covid-19, kungenzeka babe novalo ngokuhamba ngenkathi igciwane lisagcwele. Eqinisweni, ama-43% * aleli qembu leminyaka athi ahlela ukunciphisa uhambo lwamazwe omhlaba esikhathini esifushane.

Ngenxa yokwehla okukhulu kwesidingo okulethwe yi-COVID-19, lokhu kuyinkinga enkulu kubanini opharetha abathembele kakhulu kwimali engenayo esitolo futhi kungaqhubeka nokubambezela ukutakula kwabaningi. Kungaba ukuhlakanipha ukuthi laba opharetha baphinde bagxile ekwakhiweni kwezinkundla zabo ze-inthanethi ukuze banikeze kangcono uhla olubanzi lwezivakashi phakathi kwezinguquko ezinkulu ezintweni ezithandwa ngabathengi.

LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:

Njengoba izivakashi ezingama-45% zikhetha ukuthenga imikhiqizo eminingi ku-inthanethi emhlabeni osanda kubhebhetheka, kungenzeka ukuthi amanxusa amaningi e-UK azohlola amasu awo wezitini nodaka futhi enze lesi sinyathelo sokunciphisa izindleko ngesikhathi isidingo singakabuyi .
Agencies and operators with a more asset-light business model are still at a clear advantage to withstand the uncertainty that continues to surround travel recovery because they do not have high fixed costs such as rent, bills and other utilities to pay for.
In light of the colossal slump in demand brought on by COVID-19, this is rather a big issue for operators with a high reliance on in-store revenue and may further delay many operators' recovery.
