UMesse Berlin uthe i-ITB Berlin ikhankasela ukuvikela izingane ekuxhashazweni ngokocansi kwezokuvakasha ngokuhlinzeka ngolwazi mayelana nezinyathelo zokuvikela ezitholakala kubabukisi nezivakashi. “I-ITB Berlin ikhankasela amalungelo abo futhi izosayina ikhodi yokuziphatha ethembisa ukuvikela izingane ekuxhashazweni ngokobulili kwezokuvakasha (Ikhodi Yokuvikela Izingane).”
UDkt. Martin Buck, umqondisi we-Competence Centre Travel and Logistics, uMesse Berlin, uthe: “I-ITB Berlin ijabule kakhulu ngokwenza imizamo ebambekayo yokuvikela amalungelo ezingane njengoba kwenzeka ngokushesha. Umbukiso wezokuvakasha omkhulukazi emhlabeni wonke ukubheka njengesibopho futhi njengengxenye yesibopho sawo senhlangano yezenhlalo ukuthi sibambe iqhaza elibonakalayo kulolu daba.”
Ngokomhleli wombukiso wezokuvakasha omkhulu kunayo yonke emhlabeni, “imithetho yokuziphatha” izosayinwa ngoLwesihlanu, ngo-March 11, 2011, e-ITB Berlin. UDkt. Buck uzosayina lo mbhalo e-ICC, Saal 6, ngo-11 ekuseni.
Echaza ngesidingo seKhodi Yokuvikelwa Kwezingane, uDkt. Buck uthe: “Lokhu ikakhulukazi kumayelana nomthwalo wethu wemfanelo emphakathini, esiwuqaphelayo futhi esiwamukelayo. Sifisa ukudlulisa lo mlayezo kuyo yonke imboni, ngoba njengombukiso wezokuvakasha ohamba phambili sizibheka njengezwi elihamba phambili. Sithanda imizamo yethu yokufaka isandla ekuqedeni ukuxhashazwa kwezingane.”
UMesse Berlin uthe abasayine Ikhodi Yokuvikelwa Kwezingane bathembisa ukusebenzisa lezi zinyathelo ezilandelayo: ukwethula ifilosofi yenkampani ephikisana nokuxhashazwa ngokocansi kwezingane; ukwenza abasebenzi bazwele kulolu daba nokubayala ngendlela efanele; ukufaka izinhlinzeko ezivumelwaneni nabahlinzeki bezinsizakalo ezilahla ngokusobala ukuxhashazwa kwezingane ngokocansi; ukuhlinzeka amakhasimende ngolwazi mayelana nokuxhashazwa ngokocansi kwezingane kanye nezinyathelo ezisetshenzisiwe; ukubambisana nezindawo zokuvakasha kanye nokuletha umbiko wonyaka kwa-ECPAT (Qeda Ukudayisa Ngomzimba Kwezingane, Izithombe Zocansi kanye Nokushushumbiswa Kwezingane) ngezinyathelo esezisetshenzisiwe.
Ngo-1998, inhlangano yamazwe ngamazwe yokuvikela izingane, i-ECPAT, yabhala ngokuhlanganyela Ikhodi Yokuvikelwa Kwezingane e-Sweden, kanye nabaqhubi bezokuvakasha baseScandinavia kanye neNhlangano Yezizwe Ezihlangene Yezokuvakasha (UNTWO).
NgokukaMesse Berlin, abangaphezu kuka-947 abasebenza ngezokuvakasha, izinhlangano zezokuvakasha kanye nezinhlangano zabo zezambulela ezihambisanayo, kanye namaketanga amahhotela emazweni angama-37 asayine lo mbhalo kuze kube manje. “UNdlovukazi uSilvia waseSweden naye useke waweseka lo mthetho wokuziphatha ukuze kuvikelwe izingane. Amalungu e-ITB Berlin enze uhlelo lokusebenza ngokuhlanganyela ukuze aqinisekise ukuthotshelwa kweNqubomgomo Yokuvikelwa Kwezingane, equkethe izinyathelo zesikhathi esifushane nezesikhathi eside. Okugxilwe kakhulu ezintweni ezenziwa e-ITB Berlin ezokwazisa abakhangisi bayo nezivakashi futhi ezobanxusa ukuthi bavikele amalungelo ezingane.”
I-TheCode, inhlangano ebhalisiwe, yasungulwa ngokuhlanganyela yi-ECPAT, UNICEF kanye UNWTO futhi uzinze eNew York. I-TheCode yethule imihlahlandlela ecacile kanye nezinqubo zokubika ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthotshelwa kwezihlinzeko zeKhodi Yokuvikelwa Kwezingane. Izinhlangano zikazwelonke ze-ECAT zisekela futhi ziqaphe ngokucophelela ukuqaliswa kweKhodi Yokuvikelwa Kwezingane yizinkampani zezokuvakasha ezisayine isivumelwano.
I-ECAT (Qeda Ukudayisa Ngomzimba Kwezingane, Izithombe Zocansi kanye Nokushushumbiswa) iyingxenye yenethiwekhi yamazwe ngamazwe ezinze e-Bangkok, Thailand, enezinhlangano zikazwelonke ezingama-84. Inhloso yale nhlangano yamazwe ngamazwe yokuvikela amalungelo ezingane ukulwa nezithombe zobulili ezingcolile zezingane, ukudayisa ngomzimba kwezingane kanye nokushushumbiswa kwezingane kanye nokuqwashisa umphakathi ngamalungelo ezingane yonke indawo emhlabeni.
Inhloso ye-ECAT iwukuqinisekisa ukuthi amalungelo ezingane ayahlonishwa futhi ayahlonishwa, njengoba kubekwe ku-UN Children's Rights Convention kanye nezinqubo zayo ezengeziwe. I-ECAT Germany iwumfelandawonye oqinile omelene nokuxhashazwa ngokocansi kwezingane. Ngo-2002, izinhlangano ezingama-29, izinhlelo zokusiza kanye nezikhungo zolwazi kuhlangene kwakha i-ECPAT Germany, eyenza yonke imizamo yokuqinisekisa ukuthi izingane zingakhula zikhululekile ezingozini zokuxhashazwa ngokocansi.
Iqembu elisebenzayo elihlangana njalo futhi lihlanganisa i-DRV, i-BTW, i-Rewe Touristk, i-TUI, i-Studiosus, uThomas Cook, i-Police Crime Prevention Group ye-Federal States kanye nohulumeni waseJalimane, i-Tourism Watch, i-ECPAT, ne-ITB Berlin, iqapha ukulandelwa kwe izinhlinzeko zeKhodi Yokuvikelwa Kwezingane.
