Idola eliwayo, ukukhuphuka kwentengo kaphethiloli kanye nokuntengantenga komnotho okujwayelekile akukwazi ukumelana nokuzulazula kwabantu baseMelika, okungenani kubantu baseMelika abazikhokhelayo.
Lolo hambo lwebhizinisi obululindele, nokho, kungase kube nzima ukudlula.
Umbiko waminyaka yonke we-Travel Industry Association ka-2008 othi, “Travel and Tourism Works for America,” ulinganisela ukuthi abahambi baseMelika baphinde bachitha inani eliyirekhodi - $739.9 billion - ngonyaka odlule.
Uhambo lokungcebeleka, olwakha cishe izingxenye ezintathu kwezine zakho konke uhambo lwasekhaya, lukhuphuke cishe ngamaphesenti angu-2.5. Kodwa ukuhamba kwezamabhizinisi kwehle ngamaphesenti angaba ngu-1.7 ngo-2007, kulandela ukwehla ngamaphesenti angu-0.3 ngo-2006. Iphrojekthi yenhlangano yokuthi ukuhamba kwebhizinisi kuzokhuphuka kancane ngo-2008.
Izintengo zikaphethiloli ezirekhodiwe azikwazanga ukudambisa uthando lwabantu baseMelika ngemoto yokuzijabulisa. Ukuthengiswa kwama-RV kwehle kancane ngo-2007 ngemuva kokuthi kudayiswe izimoto ezintsha ezingu-390,500 ngo-2006. Cishe izingxenye ezintathu kwezine zabanikazi bama-RV abahlolwa bathi, naphezu kwamanani kaphethiloli, amaholide e-RV asashibhile kunezinye izinhlobo zokuhamba ngenxa yokonga emahhotela kanye izindawo zokudlela.
Uma sebefike lapho beya khona, abantu baseMelika bathanda izindawo zabo zokukhala kanye ne-blackjack. Ukugembula kwakuwumsebenzi wokuvakasha owawudume kakhulu kunokuya olwandle, ukuyohlola umkhosi noma ukungenzeleli, ukuya emapaki okuzijabulisa noma ukuvakashela amapaki kazwelonke noma kahulumeni. Kodwa imisebenzi emibili ephezulu yokuvakasha akufanele isimangaze: ukudla ngaphandle nokuthenga.
Konke lokho kuhamba kwenza ama-ripples amakhulu emnothweni wase-US. Ngokusho kwe-Travel Industry Association, bangaphezu kwezigidi eziyisi-7.5 abantu baseMelika, abanemali elinganiselwa ku-$178 billion, baqashwe embonini yezokuvakasha.
Inhlangano iphinde iphawule ukuthi ezokuvakasha nezokuvakasha zingenye yezimboni ezimbalwa ezinkulu lapho i-US ithokozela insalela yohwebo nomhlaba wonke.
Ngo-2006 (unyaka wokugcina ngamasamba aqinile atholakalayo), ukusetshenziswa kwemali ngabahambi bamazwe ngamazwe abavakashela e-United States, ekugcineni kudlule amazinga angaphambi kuka-9/11. Abezinye izizwe (abasizwa, ngokungangabazeki, ngedola eliwayo) basebenzise amaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-107.9
ngalowo nyaka, amaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-6.4 ngaphezu kwalokho amaMelika awachitha phesheya.
Futhi ngo-2007, inani lezivakashi ezivela kwamanye amazwe ezifika e-United States lilinganiselwa ukuthi ekugcineni selidlule inani elafika ngo-2000, ngaphambi kokuhlasela kwango-September 11, 2001.
Nokho, iningi lalezo zivakashi zamazwe ngamazwe livela eCanada naseMexico. Abokufika abavela kwamanye amazwe basafika ngenani elingaphansi kakhulu kunangonyaka wezi-2000.
Ezinye izindaba ezithokozisayo zemboni yezokuvakasha, okuhlanganisa nokuhlukaniswa kwezindleko zohambo yisifunda kanye nesifunda sekhongolose, zingatholakala kusizindalwazi senhlangano ethi www.poweroftravel.org.
