I-Afrika ifinyelele izigidi ezingama-63 kwabavakashi bamazwe ngamazwe abafikayo ngo-2017, uma kuqhathaniswa ne-58 M ngo-2016 (+ 9% vs 2016); ngokombiko weHospitality Report owashicilelwa ngoZibandlela wezi-2018. Irekhodi lokukhula lingaphezudlwana kokwenziwa komhlaba wonke kokukhuphuka ngo-7% ngowezi-2017, ukuze kufinyelele ingqikithi yezigidigidi eziyi-1.323 zabavakashi abavela kwamanye amazwe. Nazi ezinye zezinto ezivelele kwezokuvakasha onyakeni osanda kuphothulwa, wezi-2018.
1. Ukufika kwabavakashi bamazwe ngamazwe
Uma kuqhathaniswa nozakwabo, isabelo se-Afrika sabavakashi bamazwe ngamazwe abafikayo sasingama-5%. I-Europe izishaye isifuba ngo-51%, ilandelwa yi-Asia kanye nePacific eqophe u-24%. Amazwe aseMelika kanye neMpumalanga Ephakathi abe no-16% no-4% ngokulandelana.
Imiphumela yaqhutshwa ukusimama okuqhubekayo e-Tunisia nase-Morocco nokusebenza okuqinile e-Kenya, Côte d'Ivoire, Mauritius naseZimbabwe. Izindawo okuyiwa kuzo eziqhingini i-Seychelles, i-Cabo Verde ne-Reunion ziqophe ukukhula okunamadijithi amabili kwabafikayo.
2. Igalelo lezomnotho
Umnotho wase-Afrika ubulokhu udlondlobala, njengoba ukukhula komkhiqizo kwangempela kulindeleke ukuthi kufinyelele ku-4.1% ngowezi-2018/2019. Igalelo lezokuvakasha nezokuvakasha ku-GDP yase-Afrika bekulindeleke ukuthi lifinyelele ku-12% (ukwenyuka ngama-3.7%) ngowezi-2018; sisuka ku-8.1% isiyonke (i-USD 177.6 billion) ngo-2017.
Le mboni iphinde ibe ngumqashi omkhulu ezwenikazi, okulindeleke ukuthi isekele imisebenzi eyizigidi ezingama-23 (inyuke ngama-3.1%) ngowezi-2018. Umkhakha usekele imisebenzi eyizigidi ezingama-22 ngowezi-2017, cishe u-6.5% wayo yonke imisebenzi. Lokhu kuhlanganisa imisebenzi eqondile futhi esekelwe ngokungaqondile imboni yezokuvakasha.
3. Izindleko
Njengoba kubhekwa njengenye yemisebenzi yezomnotho ebaluleke kakhulu e-Afrika, ezokuvakasha nezokuvakasha zenze i-USD 37 billion ezindleko zezivakashi zamazwe ngamazwe ngo-2017. Ukuvakasha kwasekhaya kuqophe inani eliphezulu lama-60% ekusetshenzisweni kwemali kwasekhaya uma kuqhathaniswa nama-40% ekusetshenzisweni kwemali kwamanye amazwe. Lokhu kwabalelwa phakathi kwezinye izici ukufinyeleleka kanye nokuhamba kalula ezwenikazi, njengoba ukunyakaza kwabantu kancane kancane kwaba yisidingo esiyisisekelo sabantu abaningi besigaba esiphakathi abanamandla okusebenzisa imali aphezulu nabakha futhi balolonge osomabhizinisi besizukulwane esizayo.
Ezinye izici ziphinde zihlanganisa ukwanda kwezinkampani zezindiza ezibiza kancane, ukukhula okuphezulu kwemibhede emadolobheni amakhulu, kanye nokuchuma komnotho ohlanganyelwe. Lokhu akusho ukudalwa kwe-visa lapho ufika, i-e-visa kanye nohambo lwamahhala lwe-visa lwezakhamizi zase-Afrika; kanye nokusetshenziswa kwe-AU e-Passport. Abantu base-Afrika manje abadingi i-visa ukuze baye ku-25% wamanye amazwe ase-Afrika futhi bangathola ama-visa lapho befika ku-24% kwamanye amazwe ase-Afrika. Kodwa-ke, kusasele amaphesenti angama-51% amazwe ase-Afrika adinga abantu base-Afrika ukuthi babe nama-visa ukuze bahambe.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, ama-70% ezindleko zezokuvakasha aqoshwa kubavakashi bezokungcebeleka, njengoba uhambo lokungcebeleka lwahlala lukhona ngo-2018. Izindleko zebhizinisi ngakolunye uhlangothi ziqophe amanye ama-30%.
4. Ukunyuka kwemikhiqizo yamahhotela ngamazwe ngamazwe
Ngo-2018, kube nomsebenzi wamapayipi obikiwe wamakamelo angama-76,322 emahhotela angama-418 (anemikhiqizo engaphezu kwe-100 e-Afrika yonkana). Kulawa, amakamelo angama-47,679 emahhotela angama-298 ayeseSub Saharan Africa, kanti iNyakatho Afrika iqophe amagumbi angama-28,643 emahhotela ayi-120.
Ukuqhekeka kwe-Sub Sahara kubeke iNtshonalanga Afrika esicongweni somsebenzi wamapayipi ku-48%, kulandelwa iMpumalanga Afrika ngama-29%, iNingizimu Afrika ku-19% kanye ne-Afrika Emaphakathi ngama-4% ngokulandelana.
5. Abagibeli bezindiza base-Afrika
Kunamathuba amaningi okuthi izinkampani zezindiza zezwekazi zikhule, njengoba i-Afrika iqophe kuphela u-2.2% wesibalo sabagibeli bezindiza emhlabeni wonke. Njengoba umnotho ukhula, isigaba esiphakathi esikhulayo kanye nentsha yabantu abasha, i-IATA ibikezela ukuthi i-Afrika izoba yimakethe yabagibeli yezokuthutha ngendiza ekhula ngokushesha ngama-4.9% ngonyaka kuya ku-2037. Ngalokhu kukhula, ukuminyana kwabagibeli kuzokwenyuka ngezigidi eziyi-197 eminyakeni engama-20 ezayo. iminyaka, okwenza inani labagibeli lifinyelele ezigidini ezingama-321 ngo-2037.
Ngokusho kweSithunywa Esikhethekile se-IATA e-Afrika ngezindaba zezombangazwe ze-Aero, u-Raphael Kuuchi, ukukhula okuqhubekayo kokuhamba kwezindiza zase-Afrika kusekususeni izingqinamba; ekuxhumekeni okusebenzayo, ukwehlisa izindleko zokusebenza kwemboni kanye nokuthuthukisa ukubambisana kwezohwebo phakathi kwezinkampani zezindiza.
