Amaketanga amahhotela asezingeni lomhlaba kulindeleke ukuthi angene emakethe yezokuvakasha yaseKenya, asebenzise ithuba lokukhula kanye nenani elikhulayo labavakashi basekhaya nabakwamanye amazwe abavakashela amapaki ezilwane zasendle aseKenya kanye namabhishi asogwini lolwandle i-Indian Ocean.
Imibiko evela enhlokodolobha yaseKenya iNairobi ithi kulindeleke ukuthi amahhotela angu-13 esewonke avule iminyango yawo eKenya eminyakeni emine ezayo.
Umnotho okhulayo waseKenya kanye nesidingo sendawo yokulala yizinto eziheha kakhulu amaketanga amahhotela omhlaba wonke abheke ukungena emakethe yezokuvakasha yaseKenya ngo-2021 ngokutshalwa kwezimali kwamahhotela.
Amaketanga amahhotela omhlaba okulindeleke ukuthi angene ezimakethe zezokuvakasha nezamabhizinisi zaseKenya anamayunithi engeziwe yimikhiqizo ye-Radisson ne-Marriott.
Amanye amaketanga omhlaba wonke abheke ukuthwebula amathuba okutshala imali kwamahhotela aseKenya yiSheraton, Ramada, Hilton kanye neMövenpick. I-Hilton Garden Inn isesigabeni sokugcina sokuqedwa, futhi Amaphuzu Amane nge-Sheraton Nairobi Airport isivuliwe.
Ukukhula kwezokuvakasha kwasekhaya, ukwanda kwenani labavakashi abavakashela eKenya, isimo sezomnotho esiqinile kanye nochungechunge lwezikhuthazo ezethulwe nguhulumeni yizona zinto eziheha abatshalizimali bamahhotela ukuthi bangene emakethe ye-safari yaseKenya.
Imihlomulo uhulumeni waseKenya ayethule embonini yezokuvakasha okuhlanganisa nokuqedwa kweValue Added Tax (VAT) ezinkokhelweni zepaki, ukususwa kwezimali zama-visa zezingane kanye nokwehliswa kwezimali zepaki yi-Kenya Wildlife Service.
Ngo-Okthoba kulo nyaka, abatshalizimali bamahhotela bamazwe ngamazwe kanye nezikhungo zokulala ezivela e-Afrika nangaphandle kwezwekazi bazohlangana e-Nairobi kwi-Africa Hotel Investment Forum (AHIF).
Le ngqungquthela yezinsuku ezintathu yokutshalwa kwezimali kwamahhotela kulindeleke ukuthi ihlanganise abatshalizimali bomhlaba wonke abamukela izivakashi, abezimali, izinkampani zokuphatha kanye nabeluleki bezikhungo zokuhlala.
UNgqongqoshe wezokuvakasha waseKenya uMnu. Najib Balala uthe ngenyanga edlule i-AHIF iheha uhlobo lwabantu olunamandla nezinsiza zokwenza indawo okuyiwa kuyo ibe yimpumelelo.
“Kwa-AHIF, sizobe senza udaba oluphoqayo lokutshala imali emkhakheni wezokuvakasha kulo lonke elaseKenya. INairobi isivele iyisizinda samabhizinisi esizinze eMpumalanga Afrika kodwa maningi amathuba akhona ezweni lethu,” kucashunwa uMnu. Balala esho.
Umcimbi omkhulu we-AHIF uzoba nokuvakasha okuningana kokuhlola amaphrojekthi ambalwa entuthuko eKenya, okuhloswe ngawo ukukhombisa amandla ezwe abanzi kwezokuvakasha kanye nokugqamisa amathuba okutshala imali akhona.
Uhulumeni waseKenya usanda kumemezela izinhlelo zokwethula izinxephezelo, ikakhulukazi kubunikazi bomhlaba ukuze kuhehwe ukutshalwa kwezimali kwamazwe ngamazwe ekuthuthukisweni kwamahhotela.
Njengoba imile endaweni ehamba phambili ye-safari eMpumalanga Afrika, iKenya kulindeleke ukuthi isheshise ukukhula kwezokuvakasha esifundeni ngemva kokwethula izindiza eziqondile zeKenya Airways eziya e-United States ngo-Okthoba walo nyaka.
