Umkhakha wezokuvakasha e-Egypt ubheke phambili ekuphumuleni okuhle konyaka ngemuva kokubika ukuthi i-Egypt ikhiqize ubusuku bezivakashi obungaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-100 kanye ne-$ 9.5 billion yemali engenayo yezokuvakasha kusukela ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka.
IPhini likaNgqongqoshe wezokuVakasha wase-Egypt u-Hisham Zaazou uthe imali engenayo kwezokuvakasha inyuke kakhulu ezingxenyeni ezimbili zokugcina. “I-Egypt ikhombise indawo eyingqayizivele yokufika kwezivakashi ngokuba yindawo ehamba phambili kwezokuvakasha eMpumalanga Ephakathi, eNyakatho Afrika nase-Afrika uqobo. Lokhu kukhombisa kuphela ukuthi opharetha bezokuvakasha bamazwe ngamazwe bazizwa bengabanikazi bamasheya nokubamba iqhaza endaweni ngokwayo. Ukuba nesabelo kwabo emnothweni wethu wezokuvakasha kuqinisekisa ukuqhubeka nokusimama kwemboni eminyakeni ezayo,” usho kanje.
Ukuphakama kwezokuvakasha e-Arabia e-Egypt kuhlanganisa amaphesenti angama-20 abafika bezifunda, okubonisa izivakashi ezifika e-Egypt eziyizigidi ezingu-11.1 kusukela ekuqaleni konyaka kuze kube ikota yokuqala ka-2008. Izwe litshale imali engaphezu kuka-80 wamaphawundi aseGibhithe embonini. “Okwamanje ukutshalwa kwezimali kuyakhula ngenkathi sisaqhubeka nokumema abatshalizimali ukuthi balethe amabhizinisi abo ngamathuba ayingqayizivele kungaba ngezokuvakasha noma yimiphi imikhakha ehambisanayo ehlinzekwa yilo noma eminye imisebenzi ehlobene efana nezindawo zokudlela nezindawo zokucima ukoma. I-Egypt ivulekele amabhizinisi,” kusho uZaazou.
Ukufika kwamanye amazwe kunyukile e-Egypt njengoba kubikwe yiNhlangano Yezizwe Ezihlangene Yezokuvakasha njengoba izinombolo zikhuphuke zafinyelela kumaphesenti angu-8.5 abafika emazweni omhlaba abalwe UNWTO ngezigidi ezingu-50 sezizonke ngonyaka odlule endaweni. Lesi sabelo sibonisa, ngokusho kuka-Zaazou, impumelelo emangalisayo yohwebo lwezokuvakasha lwase-Egypt ngo-2007.
Uthe ubambiswano lukahulumeni kanye nezinkampani ezizimele ezibambe iqhaza embonini lwenze kahle kulesi sikhathi sakamuva okukhombisa ukuthi ukuncintisana kuzoba kushubile futhi kuzodlula intamo eminyakeni ezayo.
Ngokubheka okulindelwe yimboni kaNgqongqoshe Wezokuvakasha waseGibhithe u-Zoheir Gharana, i-Egypt ingase ifinyelele ingqikithi yabafika ezigidini ezingu-14 ngo-2010/2011. UZaazou uphinde wathi i-United Arab Emirates itshale imali eyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezine emkhakheni wezokuvakasha waseGibhithe, ohlanganisa amaphesenti angama-4 wokutshalwa kwezimali kwama-Arab ezweni lonke.
UZaazou, umsizi kangqongqoshe wezokuvakasha wokuqala wezwe, ukuqinisekisile ukuthi umkhakha wezokuvakasha uhlanganisa amaphesenti angu-11.3 omkhiqizo wasekhaya wase-Egypt (GDP) kanye namaphesenti angu-19.3 esamba sokutshalwa kwezimali okwenziwe ngezimali zakwamanye amazwe.
I-Egypt yayihamba phambili esifundeni saseMpumalanga Ephakathi, lapha izivakashi eziyizigidi ezingu-11.1 zavakashela izwe, uma ziqhathaniswa nezigidi ezingu-9 ngo-2006; okuphawula ukwanda okuphawulekayo kwamaphesenti angama-22.1. Ngenxa yalokho, futhi ngokweBhange Elikhulu LaseGibhithe, imali engenayo yezokuvakasha yafinyelela ku-US $ 9.4 wezigidi ngo-2007.
I-Russia yayiyimakethe yokuqala yomthombo ngo-2007, lapho abafikayo bafinyelela ezigidini ezingu-1.5, behlula iJalimane ne-UK, amanani abo adlula izivakashi eziyizigidi ezingu-1 ngo-2007. I-Italy yalandela nge-983,000, kanti i-France yayimi ku-464,000 izivakashi.
