Kudala, emhlabeni wokungenisa izihambi esikhathini esingeside noma esikude, 'ukusimama' ekuphatheni izihambi kwakumayelana nokubeka amakhadi emiyalezo (enziwe ngephepha eligaywe kabusha, kunjalo) emakamelweni ezivakashi. Isicelo besilula: sicela ucabangele ukusebenzisa kabusha amathawula, amashidi, noma yini edingekayo ungadli amanzi ashisayo ehhotela nsuku zonke.
I-Eco- yaba isiqalo esiveza izimiso zokuziphatha kanye nokuziphatha, futhi ngezinye izikhathi i-ego. Igagasi elisha lamagama ezokuhamba beliphazamisa umkhakha, lidala imiqondo emisha yabahambi kanye neminikelo yebhizinisi lemboni yezokuvakasha. Kodwa-ke, ngokushesha njengoba izifiso 'zokuba luhlaza' zazivela, kanjalo nezinsolo 'zokugeza okuluhlaza', nokubuza imibuzo esobala mayelana nobuqotho benhloso eqala ukuzwakala.
Sasiyini ngempela isisusa? Ukubonisa umthelela noma ukubukisa? Ukucela izivakashi ukuthi zazi kakhudlwana izinqubo ezinhle, noma ukucela amathimba okukhangisa ukuthi enze ezinye izinhlobo zizizwe kabi? Isikhathi esithile, kwakunesizathu esingathi sína sokuhoxa enkulumweni.
Kancane kancane, kodwa ngokuqinisekile, futhi buthule, njengoba isikhathi sihamba futhi ifu eliluhlaza liphakama, kwacaca ukuthi imikhuba eqhubekayo yayingeyona nje into enhle emhlabeni, ilungele iphuzu elibalulekile.
Njengazo zonke izinto empilweni, kumayelana nesikhathi. Amaqiniso angalungile mayelana nomthelela wokuhwebelana kwembulunga yonke emhlabeni omkhulu aqala ukudalula amaqiniso ezenhlalo nezomnotho ekhaya. Ukwaziswa kwakungenakuphikwa, ingxoxo yayiba phezulu, inanela kusukela kumagumbi okudlela kuya kumagumbi okudlela.
Ekuqaleni kweNkulungwane yama-21 kwafinyelelwa iphuzu elibalulekile. Ukuqaphela amandla kwakungaseyona into enhle ukuvuma, kwakuyisidingo. Ulimi lwe-Eco lwase luba yingxenye yokwenza umthetho.
ENVIRO-Whisperers
Ezingeni lesakhamuzi, wumkhakha wamahhotela, futhi ubulokhu uphambili wokwazisa nokukhuthaza ushintsho ekuziphatheni. Kuphi lapho umuntu ekhunjuzwa khona ngaso sonke isikhathi ekamelweni ukuthi:
• Ukucisha izibani?
• Ukulenga amathawula?
• Yenqaba izinguquko zansuku zonke zeshidi?
• Hhayi ukumosha amanzi?
• Cabanga ngemvelo?
Amahhotela anikeza incazelo entsha ngokuphelele egameni elithi 'izithameli ezithunjiwe'. Ngokungafani nasekhaya, ehhotela izikhumbuzo zokuba nomthwalo wemfanelo zigcwele yonke indawo. Zenziwe zaba ngezakho ngaphandle kosizo. Ziyisimemo okufanele sicatshangelwe, hhayi inkulumo okufanele ihlanzwe.
Indawo yehhotela, ekugcineni, iyindawo ekahle yokufundisa kabusha indlela yokuphila ejwayelekile. Njengoba nje izinguquko ezicashile ziyizinketho, njengakho konke ukuziphatha, ukuphindaphinda kuveza imiphumela. Futhi uma kuziwa ekusetshenzisweni kwamandla okunesibopho, imiphumela ikhiqiza imivuzo ecebile - yesikhathi esifushane, esimaphakathi nesikhathi eside.
Kungakho, ngo-2017, Unyaka Wezizwe Ngezizwe Wezokuvakasha Okusimeme For Development (IY2017), umkhakha wamahhotela uzinikela njengendawo yokukhulisa imiyalezo mayelana nendima iTravel & Tourism (T&T) engayenza, engayenza, futhi ezokwenza. qhubeka nokudlala ekuthuthukisweni komhlaba. Kokubili ezingeni lomkhiqizo ngamunye kanye nesigaba seqoqo, umkhakha wamahhotela uvula iminyango yawo ethubeni le-IY2017.
Njengoba kushiwo nguWolfgang M. Neumann, ilungu leBhodi le-Rezidor Hotel Group kanye noSihlalo we-International Tourism Partnership (ITP).
“Njengoba u-2017 usuqokwe njengoNyaka Womhlaba Wonke Wezokuvakasha Ezisimeme yi-UN, i-ITP inqume ukwethula kulo nyaka 'Izinjongo zethu Zokusimama Kwesikhathi Eside zika-2030 zemboni Yamahhotela'. Lesi yisikhathi esifanele sokuxhumana nalezi zifiso ezigxile ezindaweni ezi-4:
1. Ukusimama kwamanzi
2. Ukunciphisa Ikhabhoni
3. Amalungelo Abantu
4. Ukuqashwa Kwentsha”
I-ITP ( http://tourismpartnership.org/ ) imele 'inkundla yomhlaba wonke engenakuncintisana yabaholi bemboni yamahhotela ukuze babelane ngemibono, bakhe ubudlelwano futhi basebenze ngokubambisana ukwenza le mboni ibe ngenye yezimboni ezinomthwalo wemfanelo omkhulu emhlabeni. Nakuba ukubonisa ukubaluleka kumalungu kuyinto ehamba phambili, i-ITP ikhona yenqwaba yabantu nezinhlangano ngaphandle kobulungu bayo, ukubambisana kanye nobudlelwano bokuhwebelana phakathi kwamabhizinisi, izinhlangano zezimboni, izinhlangano ezingenzi nzuzo, abakhankasi, abahlinzeki kanye nezifundiswa.'
Inkundla ephelele yokuletha i-IY2017 emkhakheni wamahhotela womhlaba.
I-ITP yabona ngokushesha inani lokusebenzisa i-IY2017 ukuze iqinise izinhloso zayo.
“Ukuzibophezela komphakathi kwe-UN kwezokuvakasha okusimeme kuyisiqinisekiso esibalulekile futhi kwakha isisekelo esifanele sokwethula umgomo we-ITP wokusimama. Amalungu e-ITP akholelwa ukuthi imboni yamahhotela ingaba amandla okwenza okuhle - ibe negalelo elihle eziNhlosweni Zokuthuthukiswa Okusimeme zeZizwe Ezihlangene eziyi-17 (ama-SDG), kanye nasezivumelwaneni zesimo sezulu ze-COP21. Ngokusebenza ndawonye, singakwazi ukuqhuba ushintsho ngokushesha nangokukhulu kunokuzenzela thina. Umbono wethu ka-2030 owokukhula okusimeme kanye nekusasa elinobulungiswa lawo wonke umuntu. Sisebenza ngokubambisana ukufeza lokhu ngezifiso zethu ezihlangene.”
UKUTHATHA UKUZINDLA NGOKUKHONA
Emashumini ezinkulungwane zabaholi be-T&T emhlabeni wonke, ukukhetha ukuthi balisebenzisa kanjani futhi kanjani ithuba le-IY2017. Ukuhambisana, ukufinyelela kanye nemiphumela konke kuzochazwa yilowo obona izinsuku ezingama-365 okungenzeka, ngokombono wabo ohlukile we-T&T.
Futhi, ekupheleni kosuku, ukuthi umuntu ubheka kanjani emuva ku-2017 ekupheleni konyaka - unyaka lapho uhlelo lomhlaba wonke lwe-UN, umphakathi kanye nejografi kugxile enanini lezokuvakasha emizamweni yomhlaba wonke yokufezekisa ama-SDGs - izonquma ukuthi bona, njengomholi, bayibheka kanjani indima yabo ngaphakathi kwenethiwekhi enkulu ye-T&T yomhlaba wonke.
Ku-Neumann, i-IY2017 iyithuba lokungachithwa.
“Njengomholi we-T&T, ngiyaqhubeka nokuzizwa nginelungelo lokusebenza embonini enamandla nezuzisa kangaka. Ngiyaqhubeka ngizikhumbuza ukuthi ngalelo lungelo kuza umthwalo wokulondoloza ubuhle bomhlaba wethu ukuze kuzuze izizukulwane ezizayo. I-IY2017 isinika uhlaka lokwamukela, ukuxhumana kanye nokukhuthaza abantu abaningi ngangokunokwenzeka ukuthi bahlanganyele futhi bakhuthale. Ngeke senze mehluko ngokukhuluma, kodwa ngokwenza.”
Ukugxila kwamandla akhe kucacile. Ngokunjalo, umfutho ebuholini bakhe.
