Uma u-2008 bekuwunyaka wokuhlala, khona-ke u-'09 kufanele kube unyaka wokunganaki.
Njengoba kunjalo, cha - asihambi eholidini.
Ukuhlakanipha okuvamile mayelana nokuhamba ukuthi kuzokwehla ngamaphesenti ambalwa nje ngonyaka ozayo. Kepha ubuhlakani obungajwayelekile - obusekelwa izinhlolovo ezimbalwa ezikhathazayo - bukhomba ukwehla okukhulu kakhulu.
Inhlolovo yakamuva ye-Allstate ithole cishe uhhafu wabo bonke abantu baseMelika bahlela ukunciphisa uhambo ngo-2009. Inhlolovo ye-SOS yamazwe ngamazwe ithi abambalwa bethu - cishe aba-4 kwabangu-10 baseMelika - banciphisa uhambo lwabo lwamazwe ngamazwe ngonyaka ozayo. Futhi inhlolovo ye-Zagat ithi okungenani amaphesenti angu-20 ethu azohamba kancane ngo-'09.
Kodwa lokho nje uhhafu wakho. Bengikhuluma nabantu embonini, abangitshela - ukucaphuna okuqondile lapha - ukuthi uhambo selulungele "ukwehla eweni" ngoJanuwari. Ngamanye amazwi, abantu batshela abavoti into eyodwa kodwa benza ezinye izinhlelo.
Ngokukhethekile, awenzi zinhlelo.
Nazi izizathu eziyisishiyagalolunye zokuthi kungani u-2009 cishe uzokwaziwa njengonyaka "we-naycation" - nokuthi kusho ukuthini kuwe.
Umnotho uyabheda
U-Andrea Funk, umnikazi wenkampani yezimpahla zokugqoka e-Olivet, eMich., ukhansele izinhlelo zakhe zokuhamba zika-2009. "Ngicabanga ukuthi sidinga ukubona izimakethe zamasheya zizinza kanye nomnotho uba ngcono ngaphambi kokuba siye noma yikuphi," usho kanje. Ngesikhathi sokungaqiniseki okukhulu kwezomnotho, yena nomndeni wakhe bakholelwa ukuthi ukuya eholidini kuwumbono omubi. Uthi: “Sithemba ukuthi akukho okuzosisiza ukuthi silahlekelwe yimisebenzi yethu. Kodwa-ke, esimweni esibucayi, umnotho omubi uvame ukuguqulela ekuthengiseni ngeholide.
Isabelomali seholide siwumlando
UDaniel Senie, umeluleki wenethiwekhi eBolton, eMisa., Wayejwayele ukuya eCaribbean izikhathi ezimbalwa ngonyaka ukuze ayotshuza. “Sama eminyakeni embalwa edlule ukuze songe imali yokulungisa kabusha ikhishi,” usho kanje. Akabange esabheka emuva. “Kimi, ukugwema ukuhamba ngendiza kuyimpendulo yami enkozweni ebuhlungu yezinkampani zezindiza kanye nezokuphepha ezihlekisayo ze-TSA. Izinkampani zezindiza zinikeze isevisi embi kakhulu futhi embi kakhulu emzamweni wokubamba amanani entengo, emjahweni wokuya phansi. Izindiza zingcolile, izinsiza zinqanyuliwe, futhi izisebenzi zicasukile ngaso sonke isikhathi.” Kusho ukuthini lokho kithina esisafuna ukuya eholidini? Ukuthi noma yisiphi isabelomali seholide (ngisho nesincane) singakuyisa kude ngonyaka ozayo.
Sesikhathele ukuqanjwa amanga
Abantu balahlekelwa iholide elihle laseMelika ngoba abasakwazi ukugxeka amanga embonini yezokuvakasha. Thatha izinkampani zezindiza, ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka ezikhokhise uchungechunge lwezindleko ezintsha zokuphendula, bathi, ezindleko eziphakeme zikaphethiloli. Lapho amanani kaphethiloli ehla, kwenzekani ngezimali ezikhokhwayo? Banamathela. "Izintengo zikaphethiloli weJet zisuke ngaphezu kuka-$140 ngomphongolo ngo-Agasti zaya ngaphansi kuka-$50 ngoNovemba, kodwa izindleko zendiza ngo-Okthoba empeleni bezikhuphuke ngamaphesenti ayishumi," kusho uChicke Fitzgerald, isikhulu esiphezulu se-roadescapes.com, isiza sohambo lomgwaqo. "Abantu baseMelika bayavota kulowo mkhuba ngezikhwama zabo." Kanjani? Ngokuhlala eholidini eduze nasekhaya, noma ukuhlala nje ekhaya ngokuphelele.
Asiqinisekile kancane ngo-2009. Njengoba umnotho untengantenga, ukungaqiniseki kugcina abantu abaningi abangaba eholidini besekhaya. UMelanie Heywood, umthuthukisi we-Web e-Sunrise, Fla., uthi ibhizinisi lakhe lehlile, futhi usanda kuthola ukuthi ukhulelwe. “Sidinga ngempela ukonga imali yethu ngangokunokwenzeka,” kusho yena. Akayedwa neze. Ukuzethemba kwabathengi kwehle kwafika ezingeni eliphansi kakhulu emlandweni ngo-Okthoba ngaphambi kokuphindaphinda kancane ngenyanga edlule. Uma ungawesabi u-2009, ungase ukwazi ukuthola inani eliphansi eholidini.
Ukuhlala kulo nyaka bekuyisicefe
Azikho izindlela ezimbili ngakho, ukuhlala eduze nekhaya kanye “nokuhlola” izinto ezikhangayo zendawo kungaba buthuntu, buthuntu, buthuntu. (Ngaphandle kwalapho uhlala endaweni lapho abantu bathanda ukuya eholidini.) Ungase futhi uhlale emsebenzini. Noma thatha impelasonto ende bese uzipholele nje ekhaya. Yilokho kanye abantu baseMelika abaningi abakwenzayo.
Amadili mahle - kodwa awenele ngokwanele
Ngikhulume engqungqutheleni yezokukhangisa ngezokuvakasha ngenyanga edlule, futhi ngezwa izinkulumo ezifanayo kaningi mayelana "nezinga lobuqotho." Umqondo wukuthi uma unciphisa amanani akho, abantu ngeke bawazise umkhiqizo wakho. Esikhundleni salokho, izinkampani zokuhamba zinikeza ezinye izinto eziyengayo, ezifana namadili amabili nesisodwa noma ubusuku begumbi lamahhala. Kodwa abahambi balindele ukuthengiselana okungcono. "Uma sibheka ku-2009, kungenzeka ukuthi sizobona zonke izinhlobo zezivumelwano zamahhotela ukuze sidonsele abathengi - izaphulelo namaphakheji akhethekile," kusho u-Joe McInerney, isikhulu esiphezulu se-American Hotel & Lodging Association, iqembu labahwebi lamahhotela. Yebo, kodwa nini? UMcInerney ukholelwa ukuthi amadili ngeke afezeke kuze kube semva kwamaholide.
Abantu abasafuni ukuhamba
Mhlawumbe ukukhathala okuncane eholidini, kodwa kukhona iqembu elikhulu labantu elingafuni ukuhamba. “Angisiboni isidingo sokuya ndawo,” kusho uGayle Lynn Falkenthal, umeluleki wezokuxhumana eSan Diego. “Ngisho noma othile elahle u-$50,000 ku-akhawunti yami yasebhange, ngingathola izinto ezingcono engingazenza ngayo.” Lokhu kungabi nandaba nokuya eholidini - ikakhulukazi ukuya kude - kungalandelelwa emuva kobunzima nezintengo eziphakeme zokuhamba phakathi neminyaka embalwa edlule. Kalula nje, yisikhathi sokukhokha.
Imboni yezokuvakasha ayikutholi
Amanye amasegimenti embonini, njengabasebenzi bezokuvakasha, ayaqonda ngokusobala ukuthi amakhasimende afuna inani elifanele nesevisi enhle. Ama-opharetha ahlonishwa kakhulu, eholwa yi-US Tour Operators Association, ahlinzeka ngezisusa ezinjalo zezinhlelo zezimali namazinga aqinisekisiwe. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, izinkampani zezindiza zisabela emnothweni ongemuhle ngokukhuphula izimali ezikhokhwayo nezindleko ezengeziwe kanye nokukhuphula imali yokugibela esikhundleni sokukhuphula amazinga azo okusiza amakhasimende. Lokho kuzogcina abahambi abaningi begoduka ngo-2009.
Senze izinhlelo zeholide — zika-2010
Kakade, u-2009 ubizwa ngokuthi "unyaka olahlekile." Yilokho abahambi abaningi abaphatha ngayo, futhi. “Sinqume ukukuhlehlisa uhambo lwethu,” kusho umlobi uBrenda Della Casa. "Sihlose ngokuphelele ukubuyela eMexico noma e-Europe - ngo-2010. Ngethemba ukuthi izinto zizozinza kakhulu." Kwabaphikisana phakathi kwethu, "ukuthola" u-2009 kungase kusho ukudalula amathuba amaningi okubona izindawo obungasoze wazinikeza ngenye indlela.
Ngakho-ke lokhu kulithinta kanjani iholide lakho elilandelayo? Uma unesibindi sokuthatha eyodwa, lindela amadili amaningi amahle kakhulu ukuba abe yiqiniso. Ngisho nesabelomali esincane kakhulu seholide singavuzwa ngomuzwa omuhle.
Uma ubeka ngendlela ehlukile, u-2009 angaba unyaka "wokunganakwa" kwawo wonke umuntu - kodwa kuwena, kungase kube unyaka othatha iholide lakho elihle kunawo wonke.
