Njengoba uMkhandlu waseYurophu wethula iziphetho ze-European Tourism Agenda, UNWTO usejoyinile UKhomishana waseYurophu wezokuThutha u-Adina Vălean ekugcizeleleni ukubaluleka kwemisebenzi, imfundo kanye nokutshalwa kwezimali ukuze kuzuzwe umbono okwabelwana ngawo womkhakha ovuselelwe phakathi kwamanje no-2050.
Iziphetho ezethulwa uMkhandlu WaseYurophu namuhla zakhelwe phezu kweminyaka eminingana yomsebenzi mayelana “Nezokuvakasha EYurophu Eshumini Leminyaka Elizayo.” Bazisa i-Transition Pathway for Tourism entsha, ethuthukiswe yi-European Commission ngokubonisana nababambiqhaza ababalulekile, okuhlanganisa UNWTO. I-Transition Pathway ikhomba izindawo ezithile zokungenelela ukuze kuthuthukiswe i-eco-system yezokuvakasha eYurophu. Eziningana zezindawo ezibalulekile zokungenelela zibonisa izinto ezibalulekile UNWTO, ikakhulukazi ukuqashelwa kokubaluleka kokwakha nokweseka abasebenzi abanamakhono nabazinikele.
Esitatimendeni esihlanganyelwe, UNWTO UNobhala-Jikelele u-Zurab Pololikashvili kanye noKhomishana u-Vălean bakwamukele ukuqaliswa kabusha kokuhambela amazwe ngamazwe esifundeni. Kodwa-ke, bagcizelela ukuthi ezokuvakasha nezokuthutha kumele “zisebenze ndawonye” ukuze kubhekwane negebe lokuqashwa kwezokuvakasha ngokwenza yomibili le mikhakha ihehe kakhulu kubasebenzi. Ukwengeza, isitatimende esihlanganyelwe siphawula ukubaluleka kokutshalwa kwezimali kwezokuvakasha njengendlela yokusheshisa ukushintshela ekuqineni nasekusimameni okukhulu.
UNWTO yenze imfundo yezokuvakasha nokuqeqesha kube ngenye yezinto eziseqhulwini kule minyaka yakamuva. Ngokuhambisana nalokhu, UNWTO kwavula umnyango wokuqala ogxile ekutshalweni kwezimali, wagcizelela ukuthi ukuze kuzuzwe izinjongo zawo ezibanzi zokuba nokuqina nokusimama, ezokuvakasha kuqala zidinga amandla ezimali kanye nabasebenzi.
Isitatimende esiphelele esihlanganyelwe ngu UNWTO Unobhala-Jikelele, u-Zurab Pololikashvili kanye noKhomishana Wezokuthutha we-European Union, u-Adina Vălean:
Lo bhubhane uthinte ezokuvakasha kanzima kunanoma yimuphi omunye umkhakha. E-Europe, isifunda esikhulu kunazo zonke kwezokuvakasha emhlabeni wonke selokhu kwaqalwa amarekhodi, ukuhamba kwacishe kwacishe kwangama. Manje, njengoba sekuqalile lo mkhakha, kukhona zonke izimpawu zokuthi usazoqhubeka nokuhlanganisa isikhundla sawo njengomholi wezokuvakasha emhlabeni. Ngempela, ngokusho kwakamuva UNWTO Ngokwemininingwane, abafike emhlabeni jikelele bakhuphuke ngo-126% ezinyangeni eziyisishiyagalolunye zokuqala zika-2022 uma kuqhathaniswa nonyaka odlule futhi bafinyelela ku-81% wamazinga angaphambi kobhubhane. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kwabalinganiselwa ezigidini ezingama-700 abafika kwamanye amazwe abafika emhlabeni wonke ngaleso sikhathi, abangaba izigidi ezingama-477 bamukelwe izindawo zase-Europe, cishe ama-68% engqikithi yomhlaba wonke.
Ukumba sijula kudatha, siyabona ukuthi ukubuyela emuva kwezokuvakasha kwe-Europe kuqhutshwa isidingo esinamandla sohambo lwesifunda noma lwangaphakathi kwesifunda. Ucwaningo luthole ukuthi, ngenxa yalolu bhubhane, abahambi baseYurophu bancamela ukuvakasha eduze nasekhaya, futhi amazinga aphakeme wokungavikeleki ahambisana nokungaqiniseki kwezomnotho kungenzeka aqinise lokhu kuthanda. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, sibone ukushintsha kwangemva kobhubhane ekuziphatheni kwabathengi kufinyelele ekuhlangenwe nakho okwengeziwe kwe-eco-friendly noma okusimeme kwezokuvakasha. Intsha iye yaqaphela ngokuqhubekayo umthelela wohambo lwabo futhi yazimisela ukugcina imikhondo yayo iphansi ngangokunokwenzeka.
Ukuqala kabusha kwezokuvakasha, ngakho-ke, kusinikeza umzuzu oyingqayizivele wokuthatha ithuba ebunzimeni. EYurophu, njengakuzo zonke izifunda zomhlaba, manje yisikhathi sokusebenzisa amashifu anjalo ekuziphatheni futhi siqondise umkhakha wethu endleleni ehlukile, eholela ekusasa elizinzile neliqinile. Futhi, isidingo phakathi kwabathengi sikhona. Kanjalo futhi nokuzimisela kwawo womabili amabhizinisi kanye nezindawo ngokwazo: intshisekelo kuSimemezelo Se-Glasgow Sesenzo Sesimo Sezulu Kwezokuvakasha, esethulwe e-COP26 ngonyaka odlule, siye sakhuthaza kakhulu, ngamagama amakhulu ohambo lwase-Europe phakathi kwamaqembu angama-700 nangaphezulu ukuya. babhalise onyakeni odlule kuphela.
Kodwa lokhu akwanele. Endabeni yezokuthutha - ngokumangazayo ingxenye eyodwa enkulu kunazo zonke ye-carbon footprint yezokuvakasha - ukucabanga okuhlangene nokusekelwa okuqinile kwezombusazwe nezomnotho kuyadingeka uma sifuna kokubili ukusheshisa futhi sikhulise ukuguquguquka kwethu ekusimameni okukhulu. Uhlelo lwe-DiscoverEU luyisibonelo esisebenzayo salokho okungenzeka. Le phrojekthi iphumelele ukukhuthaza ukuhamba okuhlakaniphile, ikakhulukazi ngokugqugquzela abantu ukuthi bakhethe indlela yokuthutha esimeme kakhulu ohambweni lwabo. Futhi, abantu abasha bebephakathi kwabasebenzisi abashiseka kakhulu be-DiscoverEU. Abahambi abanomthwalo wemfanelo bakusasa bayenziwa namuhla.
Ukuze kuphindwe impumelelo yalolu hlelo kuyo yonke indawo yezokuvakasha yaseYurophu, lo mkhakha udinga kokubili ukwesekwa kwezombusazwe kanye nenani elifanele lokutshalwa kwezimali okufanele, okuqondiswe kahle. Sidinga futhi ukubona amabhizinisi amancane esekelwa ngendawo yebhizinisi ekhangayo kanye namamodeli aqanjwayo wokuxhasa ngemali, ngaleyo ndlela sibanike amathuluzi nendawo, abayidingayo ukuze benze umthelela wangempela.
Kodwa ngeke simane sigxile ekutshaleni imali kwezobuchwepheshe noma nengqalasizinda. Kubalulekile futhi ukutshala imali engcebweni enkulu yezokuvakasha - abantu. Lapho ubhubhane luhlasela futhi ukuhamba kunqamuka, abasebenzi abaningi bawushiya lo mkhakha. Futhi ababuyile bonke. Ezinyangeni ezedlule sibone imiphumela yalokhu. Isibalo sabantu abaqashwe emkhakheni wezokuthutha ngendiza ngaphakathi kwe-European Union sehle safinyelela ezingeni eliphansi kakhulu cishe eminyakeni eyi-15. Ngenxa yalokho, sibone izingqinamba ezinkulu ezikhumulweni zezindiza kanye nezindiza ezikhanseliwe nezinye izinkonzo phakathi nenkathi ephezulu yasehlobo.
Kudingeka sisebenzisane - UNWTO, I-European Commission, ohulumeni nabaqashi - ukwenza ezokuvakasha zibe umkhakha okhangayo ongasebenza kuwo. Okungukuthi, lowo ohlinzeka ngemisebenzi ehloniphekile, amathuba abesifazane, entsheni nakubantu abahlala ngaphandle kwamadolobha amakhulu, kanye nethuba lokukhula ngokomsebenzi futhi ukuthuthukisa amakhono angasetshenziswa kwezokuvakasha ngokwazo noma komunye umkhakha - ngoba ukwakhiwa kwamakhono kwezokuvakasha kunikeza amakhono empilo yonke. Futhi, ekugcineni, sidinga ukwenza ukuqalisa kabusha kwezokuvakasha kanye noguquko lubandakanye kakhudlwana. Ehlobo, UNWTO sabamba iNgqungquthela yethu yokuqala Yomhlaba Wonke Yezokuvakasha Kwentsha e-Italy, okwaphuma kuyo i-Sorrento Call to Action, isithembiso sesizukulwane esilandelayo sabahambi, sochwepheshe nabaholi, sokusheshisa inqubekelaphambili yeminyaka yamuva kanye nokucabanga kabusha ezokuvakasha zakusasa. Amazwi abantu abasha manje kufanele abonakale ku-Ajenda YaseYurophu Yezokuvakasha 2030, ukwakha umkhakha osebenzela abantu, iplanethi nokuthula.
