I-ETOA icela Ohulumeni ukuthi bathathe izinyathelo zokumisa umthelela wezomnotho we-Covid-19 futhi babuyisele ukuzethemba.

I-European Tour Operator Association uTom Jenkins, oyi-CEO ye-ETOA uthe:

“Isimo sishintsha ngokushesha okukhulu.

Njengoba i-Covid-19 iqhubeka nokusabalala, ohulumeni badonsa kanzima ngenxa yezomnotho. Izenzo zikahulumeni zokubuyisela emuva lolu bhubhane zidinga ukulingana nezimpilo zabantu.

Izikole zivaliwe, imingcele ivaliwe, imicimbi ikhanseliwe, ukuhamba okuphumayo akukhuthazwa. Njengegciwane, lezi zenzo zinemiphumela yamazwe ngamazwe. IFrance imise izikole ezihambela phesheya, ukuhamba ngemfundo kusuka e-US kuya eJalimane kuyakhanselwa kanti i-Italy ibeka ukuvalwa. Ukubhuka eDublin naseCopenhagen okuvela eNyakatho Melika kuthintekile. Lapho iziphathimandla zase-Thai nezakwa-Israel zimisa uhambo oluya ngaphandle, umthelela uzwakala noma yikuphi lapho lawo maklayenti ayehloselwe ukuba khona.

Umthelela wezomnotho ubhebhetheka ngokushesha kunegciwane eliwuqalile. Imiphumela iyabonakala. Kulo lonke elaseYurophu sibona izimpawu zokuwohloka kwezokuvakasha. Ibhizinisi elivela eShayina alikho, kanti kusukela eSouth-East Asia lehle ngo-75%.

Isiminyaminya esingena e-Italy esivela kuzo zonke izimakethe simile: cishe amaphesenti angama-25 azo zonke izimoto ezingenayo eziya e-Europe zisuka e-US zibandakanya i-Italy.

Wonke amaqembu ezemfundo (futhi sibheke kusizini ephezulu yawo) asuka e-US aphezu kwenqubo yokukhanselwa. Esikhathini sokubhuka esiphezulu, ukubhukha kwe-Europe kusuka eNyakatho Melika kumile. Silindele ukuwohloka okwengeziwe lapho i-US iqala ukufuna amacala ekhaya: kusukela ngoMashi 5^th, isihlole abantu abangama-472.

Lokhu kwenzeka njengoba uhambo lwangaphakathi kweYurophu lubhekene nosizi olufanayo. Ukuhamba ekhaya nakho kwehle kakhulu nangaphambi kokuba kube nobufakazi bokusakazeka okusabalele. Izinkampani manje zivala ngokujwayelekile konke ukuhamba “okungabalulekile”. Izingqungquthela, imihlangano kanye nazo zonke izinhlobo zemisebenzi yezinkampani ezihlangene ziyamiswa. Maduze sizoba nenkinga egcwele emkhakheni wezokwamukela izihambi. Ngesonto eledlule bengigcizelele ukuthi kumele siqinise ithemba. Ngemva kwesonto elilodwa ngibona abaqhubi (abakade bedonsa kanzima ukuthola abasebenzi) bediliza umsebenzi okuyimpoqo. Linjalo isivinini kanye nokuqina kwalokhu kwehla. Lokhu kuzoba nemiphumela kulo lonke uchungechunge lokuhlinzeka.

Sengisebenze kulo mkhakha cishe iminyaka engamashumi amane. Ngaleso sikhathi kube nokuqhuma kwamabhomu eLibya ngo-1986, iGulf War yokuqala ngo-1991, 9/11, iMpi Yesibili yaseGulf, inkinga yezezimali ngo-2007/8. Angikaze ngikubone okufana nalokhu okwenzekayo manje.

Ohulumeni basebenza esisekelweni sokuthi "kungenzeka kakhulu" ukuthi leli gciwane lizoba yi-Pandemic maduze nje. Kepha bacabanga ukuthi u-75% walabo abangenwe yileli gciwane ngeke bakhombise izimpawu. Lapho siye saba nokwesaba kwamaphekula kwakunesibopho esiyisisekelo sokungaziba lokho abantu ababekwazi njengosongo oluncane: ukwenza noma yini enye kwakuzovumela amaphekula ukuba anqobe. Isenzo sokuziphatha okwamanje sibonakala siwukuhlala ekhaya nokwesaba. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi lesi yisenzo esizokwembulwa njengesingezona ezokuziphatha noma esingokoqobo.

Kwabonakala komunye umhlangano osemthethweni (okwakumele umayelana nomthelela embonini yezokuvakasha) cishe ⅔^rds. yayizinikele ohlotsheni lwenkinga yezokwelapha. Konke ukunaka kukahulumeni - futhi ngenxa yalokho i-Press - isengozini ebangelwa yileli gciwane. Ngandlela thize ukulandisa kufanele kuguqulwe kusuka “kwezempilo” kube nomthelela emnothweni walokhu okwenzekayo. Lo mthelela udinga ukuncishiswa ngokushesha njengegciwane. Akwanele ukuthi “uphephe kangcono kunokuzisola”; esikubonayo kulimaza ngendlela emangalisayo.

Indlela esibuyisela ngayo ukuzethemba lapho ibhidlizwa iyindida, kodwa kufanele siyilungise manje. Siphakathi kwale nkinga ethile, kodwa izophela. Ohulumeni kumele bakusukumele okwenzekayo emnothweni wabo: kubaluleke kakhulu njengoba kwenzeka endaweni yezempilo.

Okwenzeka embonini yezokuvakasha, futhi ngenxa yalokho wonke umnotho wesevisi, kungokoqobo futhi kuyenzeka manje.

Akunakwenzeka ukukala umthelela wezomnotho usuwonke, futhi sisaqoqa ubufakazi, kodwa imboni yezokuvakasha yaseYurophu engena ngaphakathi icabanga ukunciphisa ibhizinisi okungenani ngama-50% ngo-2020.

Lokhu kuzodinga ukukhuphuka okukhulu kwesidingo ngasekupheleni konyaka. Ukuthi senza kanjani ukuze sifinyelele kulokho kululama kuyinto ehamba phambili ngokushesha. "

I-ETOA yinhlangano yabahwebi yezokuvakasha okungcono eYurophu. Sisebenza nabakhi benqubomgomo ukuze sikwazi ukwenza indawo yebhizinisi enobulungiswa futhi esimeme, ukuze iYurophu ihlale inokuncintisana futhi ikhanga izivakashi nezakhamuzi. Njengoba sinamalungu angaphezu kuka-1,200 asebenzela izimakethe ezingama-63, siyizwi elinamandla emazingeni endawo, kazwelonke naseYurophu. Amalungu ethu ahlanganisa abavakashi nabasebenza ku-inthanethi, abaxhumanisi nabathengisi bezitolo, amabhodi ezivakashi aseYurophu, amahhotela, izindawo ezikhangayo, izinkampani zobuchwepheshe kanye nabanye abahlinzeki besevisi yezokuvakasha kusukela ngobukhulu kusukela kumabhrendi omhlaba kuya kumabhizinisi azimele endawo. Sixhunywe nezingcweti zemboni ezingaphezu kuka-30,000 kuzo zonke iziteshi zethu zenkundla yezokuxhumana.

I-ETOA inikeza inkundla yokuxhumana nenkontileka engenakuqhathaniswa yabasebenzi bezokuvakasha, eqhuba imicimbi eyi-8 ephambili kulo lonke elaseYurophu nase-China ehlela ngokuhlanganyela izikhathi ezingaphezu kwezi-46,000 zokuqokwa komuntu ngamunye ngonyaka. Sinamahhovisi eBrussels naseLondon kanye nokumelela eSpain, eFrance nase-Italy.
