Imboni yezokuvakasha nezokuvakasha ayinakukwazi ukungaphenduli ngokuzibophezela nangokuzithemba ekwesabeni okwandayo kokuhamba. Uma abaholi bezokuvakasha bengasebenzi manje, kusho ukuthi imisebenzi yethu kanye nemisebenzi yezigidi ezisebenza kulo mkhakha izosongelwa. Esimeni esibi kakhulu, isintu singabhekana nethuba lokuphila emhlabeni odabukisayo nophambene.
Imboni yezokuvakasha nezokuvakasha emhlabeni wonke yamangala futhi isesimweni sokungaqiniseki nge-COVID-19 eba ngokoqobo. Ngabe kusho ukuthi ezokuVakasha sezifile? Ezokuphepha, UDkt Peter Tarlow noDkt David Beirman bathi cha. Ochwepheshe bezokuvakasha bangakhombisa kanjani ukuqina? ISafertourism ifuna ukuzwa kubafundi be-eTN ku https://safertourism.com/virus/
Ngisho nochwepheshe wezokuvakasha onethemba elikhulu uyaqonda ukuthi unyaka we-2020 uzobe ungunyaka onzima kwezokuvakasha. Kusukela namhlanje (08 Mashi 2020) iCoronavirus noma i-COVID-19 manje seyedlule amacala ayi-100,000 emhlabeni jikelele kanti ukufa sekudlule ama-3,500. Ngaphezu kwama-80% alawo macala aseChina, lapho kubonakala khona ukugqashuka kwamathafa ngenxa yemithetho eqinile yezempilo ephoqelelwa uhulumeni waseChina. Kodwa-ke, amazwe angama-80 manje arekhode okungenani uma kwenzeka. ICOVID-19 iyanda ngaphandle kweChina.
Lezi zinombolo zishaqisa abantu abaningi futhi zikhuthaza ukusakazwa kwabezindaba okunesibindi. Emasontweni ambalwa, i-COVID-19 ivele yaba yi-Godzilla yezilo ezihlasela ezokuvakasha. Ngenkathi ukutheleleka nokufa kwe-COVID-19 kungenzeka kukhuphuke (okungenani esikhathini esifushane) usongo lwezempilo lomhlaba wonke lwe-COVID-19 luhlala lincane uma kuqhathaniswa nokuqubuka kwe-H1N1 (Swine Flu) ka-2009-10. Ngokusho kwe-WHO, lokhu kuqubuka kuthelele abantu abayi-1 billion kwaholela ekufeni kwabantu abangu-576,000 emhlabeni jikelele. Iningi labantu, kubandakanya nabezindaba, sekunesikhathi bakhohlwa lokhu.
Ngaphandle kokuxakaniseka okukhulu ngenkathi i-H1N1 iqala ukubonakala eMexico ngoMashi 2009, ezokuvakasha zomhlaba azizange zithinteke nakancane. Ngempela akubanga khona kuthengwa kwabantu abaningi izindlu zangasese obekuyinsakavukela e-Australia ezinsukwini ezisanda kwedlula. Ngingathanda ukuthi othile asitshele ukuthi imiqulu yangasese isiza kanjani ukuvimbela i-COVID-19. Ngabantu be-H1N1 emhlabeni wonke abathengisene ngesiphithiphithi esincane.
Akungabazeki ukuthi i-COVID-19 iyisizathu esisemthethweni sokukhathazeka ngaphakathi eChina nasezindaweni ezidume kakhulu njengeSouth South Korea, i-Iran, iNyakatho ye-Italy neJapan lapho amacala engenakubalwa ezinkulungwaneni. Kodwa-ke, kukhona ukweqa okukhulu kusuka ekukhathazekeni okusemthethweni kuya ethusweni elikhulu elibonakala liyinkinga enkulu kakhulu emnothweni womhlaba (ikakhulukazi ezokuvakasha) kunegciwane uqobo. Isizathu esiyinhloko se-hysteria mayelana nezikhungo ze-COVID-19 kokungaziwa okunamathiselwe kuyo. Asazi ngempela imvelaphi yayo, idluliselwa kanjani, kuthatha isikhathi esingakanani ukubonisa izimpawu ezilandelanayo nokuthi singazivimbela kanjani futhi sizelaphe. Lolu hlu alukapheli ngokuphelele. Yile nhlanganisela yezingaziwa ehlasela abantu futhi ibenze babuze, ngabe kufanele ngihambe futhi uma kunjalo kanjani futhi kuphi? Sesibonile ukukhanselwa kwemicimbi okubandakanya i-ITB Berlin, izindawo ezikhangayo zivaliwe (The Louvre) nefu lokungaqiniseki lilenga kuma-Olimpiki aseTokyo ka-2020.
Ezokuvakasha zase-Australia zizama ngamandla ukuthi zilulame kulesisomiso esiphindwe kane sesomiso, umlilo wequbula, isikhukhula futhi manje yi-COVID-19. Ukubhukelwa phambili kwamazwe omhlaba okuya e-Australia phakathi komhla ka-01 Dec 2019 -01 Mashi 2020 kwehle ngo-36% uma kuqhathaniswa nezinyanga eziqhathanisekayo zango-2018-19, ukwehla kwekota okukhulu eminyakeni engama-40 + embonini yezokuvakasha.
Kodwa-ke, i-COVID-19 manje isiyisongo esivamile somhlaba wonke ekusebenzeni kwemboni yezokuvakasha. Ukumiswa okungapheli kwezokuvakasha ngaphakathi nangaphandle kweChina kusukela maphakathi noMasingana 2020 (okuthinta u-10% wezokuvakasha emhlabeni wonke) bekuyisiqalo nje semicimbi eminingi manje enabantu abaningi emhlabeni jikelele, ebuza isidingo kanye nokulangazelela kohambo.
Iqiniso elilula ukuthi uma thina njengemboni singaphenduli ngokuzibophezela nangokunokwesaba okwandayo kokuhamba ngeke nje imisebenzi yethu isongelwe kepha sibhekene nethemba lokuphila emhlabeni odabukisayo nophambene. Kubalulekile ukuthi ochwepheshe bezokuvakasha babambe ulayini ngenxa yokwethuka futhi besabe ukuthi i-COVID-19 ivukile.
Singabaqeqeshi bezokuvakasha abadinga umjovo omuhle wokucabanga okuhle. Yize kufanele sikuhloniphe ukukhathazeka okusemthethweni kwamakhasimende ethu akumele sibatshele ukuthi bangahambi noma bakhansele kanjani. Esikhundleni salokho kufanele sibaqondise ezindleleni ezihamba phambili neziphephe kakhulu zokwenza uhambo lwabo oluhlosiwe futhi sibazise ngezindawo eziphephe kakhulu. Sidinga ukuveza ukuthi izindawo eziningi zomhlaba eziphephile.
Ubungozi, kufaka phakathi ubungozi bokuhamba, kumayelana namathuba nemiphumela. Ngaphandle kwezindawo ezidla lubi ezishiwo ngenhla, amathuba amanje okuba umhambi avezwe ku-COVID-19 angcono kunama-500,000 kuye. Ngiyavuma kalula ukuthi lezi zingqinamba zingashintsha, kudingeka. ziqaphe njalo kepha amathuba amancane. Ngisho nalabo abaneshwa elanele lokungenelwa banamathuba angama-96.5% okusinda.
Abantu abasengozini kakhulu ngabantu asebekhulile futhi ababuthaka, Izinsana nabantu abanezimo zezokwelapha ezikhona kanye nokuzivikela okuncane kokuzivikela.
Ochwepheshe bezokuvakasha badinga ukugcina amathebhu aseduze kuzeluleko zikahulumeni zokuhamba futhi beluleke namakhasimende abo ukuthi enze okufanayo. Kufanele futhi baqonde ukuthi yiziphi izinqubomgomo zomshuwalense wokuhamba ezenzayo futhi ezingazibandakanyi maqondana ne-COVID-19. Ukunakekelwa kufanele kuthathwe ukuqonda nokuxhumana ngezinyathelo ezithathwa yizindiza, abaqhubi bezokuvakasha, abahlinzeki bezindawo zokuhlala, abasebenza ngezikebhe, kanye nezindawo ezikhangayo ukunciphisa usongo lwe-COVID-19. Ama-ejenti wezokuvakasha ekubhukheni okuku-inthanethi kufanele axhumane nezinyathelo abahambi abangazithatha ukunciphisa ukuziveza kwabo ku-COVID-19.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, imikhakha emikhulu yomkhakha wethu kanye nezinhlangano zabo zomhlaba wonke kufanele zikwenze kucace kubo bonke abathengi bezokuhamba ukuthi yiziphi izinyathelo zezindiza, abahamba ngezikebhe, abahamba ngezokuvakasha, abanikazi bamahhotela, izindawo zemicimbi, abaqeqeshi babaqeqeshi, abenzeli bezokuvakasha abathatha ukubhekana ne-COVID-19. Njengomkhakha, sidinga UKUXOXA NGOKUVAKASHA ngenkathi siqinisekisa ukuthi umyalezo wethu unjengochwepheshe abanesifiso samakhasimende ethu ngenhliziyo, hhayi nje umkhakha wokuthengisa ongahlangani.
Uma iklayenti lakho likutshela ukuthi lingavele lihlale ekhaya ukunciphisa ubungozi, cabanga ngokulandelayo.
- Ubungozi bokuhamba buza ngezindlela eziningi okuyisifo.
- Ukuhlala ekhaya kukubeka engcupheni elandelayo.
- Ukuhlasela kwasekhaya, ukweba, ukuthumba
- Umshayeli ophuzile angalima angene ekhaya lakho.
- Ukuvezwa ngokweqile kumalungu omndeni acasulayo futhi anomsindo, ohlala nabo endlini kanye nomakhelwane
- Izinhlekelele zemvelo (izikhukhula, umlilo, ukulimala kwesiphepho)
- Ukukhokha
- Ugesi kanye nokucishwa kukagesi
- Izingozi ekhaya
- Izifo ezithelelanayo ezivela ezinganeni ezigulayo, izivakashi nakwabanye abahlali basemakhaya.
Kulungile, uyasithola isithombe? Ukuphila kuyingozi futhi ingozi isebenza kunoma yini oyenzayo empilweni. Kungcono ukuhlala, ukuhamba nokunciphisa izingozi ngokuhamba ngokuziphendulela kunokuhlala ekhaya futhi unethemba lokuthi i-COVID-19 izophela. Uma ezokuvakasha zizohlala zikwazi ukuqina phakathi naleli gagasi lamanje lokwesaba sidinga ukudlulisa imiyalezo emihle emhlabeni jikelele.
Yilapho ubuholi bungena khona. Abaholi bezinhlangano zethu zomhlaba wonke zezokuvakasha kumele babonisane nababambiqhaza babo, abezindaba (kuzona zonke izinhlaka zayo) kanye nomphakathi ukuthi ezokuvakasha ezibhekelekayo zinhle futhi ziyafiseleka. Uma singasuki ndawonye sihlangane emuva senze lokhu kungenzeka ukuthi sonke sifuna ushintsho lomsebenzi.
Ezokuphepha yinkampani yokuqeqesha neyokubonisana ekulungele ukusiza imboni yomhlaba. I-SIthimba Lezimpendulo Ezisheshayo ukulungele ukunikeza usizo.

LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:
- The indefinite suspension of tourism in and out of China since Mid January 2020 (affecting 10% of global tourism) was just the beginning of a chain of events that now has many people worldwide, questioning the need for and the desirability of travel.
- The simple truth is that if we as an industry don't respond responsibly and positively to the growing fear of travel not only will our jobs be threatened but we face the prospect of living in a miserable and paranoid planet.
- There is no doubt that COVID-19 is a legitimate cause for concern both within China and in hotspots such as Southern South Korea, Iran, Northern Italy and Japan where cases no number in the thousands.
