Uma ingekho kuhlelo, ayikho esabelweni sezimali: umfelandawonye we-European Tourism Manifesto, izwi lomkhakha wezokuvakasha waseYurophu, unxusa amazwe angamalungu e-European Union ukuthi enze ezokuvakasha zibe yinto yamasu ezinhlelweni zabo zokubuyiselwa ezweni ukuze kuhlanganise amandla omkhakha ukukhiqiza imisebenzi nokukhula, nokuzuza imihlomulo yezinguquko eziluhlaza nezidijithali.

Ngokusho the I-European CommissionIsikhathi Sokuxhumana saseYurophu: Ukulungisa Nokulungiselela Isizukulwane Esilandelayo '[1], ezokuvakasha nezokuvakasha zingenye yezindawo eziphila kakhulu ezithintekayo yi-COVID-19 futhi zidinga ukutshalwa kwemali okungabiza u- € 161 billion [2] ukubuyela emuva amazinga ezinhlekelele. Isikhungo esisha sokuBuyisa nokuQinisa [3], esihlongozwe yiKhomishini ukusiza i-EU ukwakha kabusha emva kwalolu bhubhane, sinikeza ithuba elingakaze libonwe lokuxhasa ezokuvakasha kanye nokuqinisekisa ukuthi umkhakha uyasiza ekuqhubeni ushintsho lwedijithali nohlaza, futhi ngaleyo ndlela kuqinise ezomnotho nezenhlalo ukuqina.

Inhloso Yesikhungo Sokubuyisa Nokuphila (Resilience and Resilience Facility) ukuhlinzeka ngosizo olukhulu lwezezimali lwezinguquko kanye nokutshalwa kwezimali okwenziwe ngamaLungu amaLungu, ukunciphisa umthelela kwezomnotho nakwezenhlalo kubhubhane lwe-coronavirus, okwenza umnotho we-EU ube nokusimama nokusimama ngokwengeziwe. Ukuze kuhlomule leli thuba elingakaze libonwe lokuxhaswa, amazwe angamaLungu kufanele athumele kwiKhomishini kusukela ngomhlaka 15 Okthoba 2020 (kuze kube ngumhla ka-Ephreli 2021) amasu abo okusimama kanye nokuqina okuchaza izinhlelo zikazwelonke zokutshalwa kwezimali kanye nezinguquko ngokuhambisana nezinhloso zamasu amabili: i-digitalisation kanye nokusimama .

Ezokuvakasha kumele zifakwe ngokuqinile ezinhlelweni zokululama nezokuqina. Khonamanjalo umkhakha udinga ukusekelwa okuqhubekayo ukuze uphile futhi usize ekuqhubekiseni ukusimama. Ezokuvakasha zibuswa yi-micro/SME, ukwakheka okuncike kukho ukuhluka nokukhanga kwe-Europe njengendawo okuyiwa kuyo. Amabhizinisi amancane ahlala ebuyisela ukuqashwa emnothweni ngokushesha kunezinkampani ezinkulu: ukuthola uxhaso lwesikhathi esifushane kusho ukukhiqizwa kwemisebenzi yesikhathi eside. Umkhakha uthatha u-9.5% we-GDP ye-EU, uhlinzeka ngemisebenzi kubantu abayizigidi ezingu-22.6[4] futhi unomthelela oqondile kwezokuthutha, ukuthengisa, imboni yezokudla kwezolimo, kanye nomnotho obanzi. Ngokuvumelana ne UNWTO[5], iYurophu ibone ukwehla okungama-66% kokufika kwezivakashi engxenyeni yokuqala ka-2020 futhi WTTC ilinganisela[6] ukuthi isifunda sisengozini yokulahlekelwa yimisebenzi eyizigidi ezingama-29.5 yezokuvakasha nezokuvakasha (80% ka-2019) futhi silahlekelwe ama-EUR ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane eziyi-1,442 kuGDP yezokuvakasha nezokuvakasha (80% ka-2019) ngenxa ye-COVID-19.

Umnotho wase-Europe nokuphila kahle komphakathi kusengozini ngokusobala uma singathathi izinyathelo eziphuthumayo ekwakheni nasekuxhaseni ukuvuselelwa komkhakha wezokuvakasha nezokuvakasha: 1 i-EUR yenani elenziwe ezokuvakasha liholela kumaphesenti angama-56 enani elengeziwe ngokungaqondile ezinye izimboni [7]. Ukutshala imali kwezokuvakasha kuzonikeza inzuzo yesikhathi eside emiphakathini, izivakashi nakwezamabhizinisi kulo lonke elaseYurophu.

Ngokuxhaswa okufanele, ezokuvakasha zingaba enye yezinjini ezisebenza kahle kakhulu ukuletha intuthuko esimeme: isekela ukuqashwa kuzo zonke izindawo nakubantu, inikela enhlalakahleni, futhi ikhiqiza imali edingekayo ukugcina ubunikazi bomphakathi, amasiko namagugu. Futhi kungenye yezinto esizithumela kakhulu.

Ezokuvakasha ziyahlukahluka futhi uchungechunge lwenani lazo elide luthinta imikhakha eminingi engaphansi. Uhlelo lwezemvelo lwezokuvakasha nezokuvakasha lungasiza ukufeza zonke izinjongo ezine ezijwayelekile zeRecover and Resilience Facility: ukukhuthaza ukubumbana kwe-EU kwezomnotho, kwezenhlalo nakwezomhlaba, kuqinise ukuqina kweNyunyana, kunciphise umthelela wenhlekelele futhi kusekele izinguquko eziluhlaza nezidijithali.

Ngakho-ke kubalulekile ukuthi umthelela ohlelweni lwezokuvakasha kanye nezokuvakasha kuyindlela yokuhlola yazo zonke izingxenye ezinkulu zezinhlelo zokuBuyisa nokuQinisa. Umphumela wokuphindaphindeka kotshalomali oluhlakaniphile nawo osiza ezokuvakasha ubaluleke kakhulu. Umfelandawonye we-European Tourism Manifesto ukulungele ukusiza amazwe angamalungu ekubhaleni izinhlelo zawo zokuBuyisa ukuze aqinisekise ukuthi izinguquko ezihlongozwayo kanye nokutshalwa kwemali kwakha indawo enhle lapho ezokuvakasha zingathuthuka ngendlela esimeme futhi eqinile, futhi ziqhubeke nokwakha imisebenzi, zikhuthaze ubumbano nokwakha indlela eya ekubuyiseleni esimeme kusukela kumthelela wezenhlalo nezomnotho wobhadane lwe-COVID-19.
