ABUJA, Nigeria (eTN) - Njengamanje, umuntu ubengacabanga ukuthi lesi sikhathi kufanele siqale kabusha imboni yezokuvakasha, njengoba sijabulele ukukhulunywa kahle emibusweni emibili elandelanayo.
Kulindeleke ukuthi ivule isahluko esisha enhlanhleni yemboni engashintsha isithombe futhi isize ekukhiqizeni izinkulungwane zemisebenzi.
Esikhathini esedlule, abaningi babephikisana ngokuthi uhulumeni waseNigeria akanayo intando yezombusazwe yokuthuthukisa lo mkhakha njengoba kugcizelelwe nabaseNigerian Tourism, Culture and National Orientation uNgqongqoshe u-Prince Kayode Adetokunbo, ukuthi inkinga yalo mkhakha ukuntula ukunakwa kwezindaba zabantu. emagunyeni, ngaphansi kwezimali, ingqalasizinda embi kanye nokukhuphuka kwezinga lenkohlakalo nobugebengu eNigeria. Futhi, ukuthi ngalesi sikhathi, konke okushiwo ngenhla kuhlinzekwe nokuthi isibhakabhaka sizoba umkhawulo.
Njengoba izithembiso zisezingqondweni zabaningi, kulindeleke ukuthi kube nezindaba ezinhle mayelana nokuvezwa okufanele kwezindaba zezokuvakasha, ukwenziwa kwemicimbi kanye nokuvumelana kwezinto ezibalulekile.
Ngokuqiniseka ukuthi ikhono lezwe lezokuvakasha ekudaleni amathuba emisebenzi, ukuthola imali enkulu yangaphandle kanye nokukhuthaza ukuthuthukiswa kwezinye zezinto ezikhangayo ezinkulu zaseNigeria, kanye nokholo kuhulumeni wobumbano ngobuhlakani bakhe bokuhlola okuqhubekayo, ungqongqoshe wamanje kanye nomqondisi jikelele weNigerian. I-Tourism Development Corporation [NTDC], i-Otunba Segun Runsewe, izithole isisesihlalweni sokushayela semikhankaso kahulumeni waseNigeria yokudalela izigidi zabantu baseNigeria amathuba.
Ezigcawini ezehlukene, bobabili bebeveze ukuthi izwe liyawadinga futhi lidinga indlela entsha ezokwehluka ezenzweni zongqongqoshe abadlule kanye nabaqondisi-jikelele bomnyango kanye ne-NTDC ezophakamisa izinga lokusebenza kwemboni yezokuvakasha. amazinga enhlangano, wesifunda nawendawo ezweni lonke.
Ngezifungo ezinjalo, umuntu ulindele ukuthi izinduna ezimbili zezokuvakasha zihole ngesibonelo. Ngokudabukisayo, akuyona into edlalwayo njengamanje. La madoda amabili ekuqondeni kwawo okokwehlisa izindima nemisebenzi yawo, womabili ayethumele abezindaba ngezindlela ezilungile nezingamukelekile ekusebenziseni abezindaba ekukhulumeni nasekusabalaliseni noma ekusakazeni imibono yama-neophyte yokuthi yiziphi ezokuvakasha nokuthi kufanele ziqhutshwe kanjani eNigeria.
Ukuqinisekisa umkhakha wezokuvakasha waseNigeria osafufusa ngokuthi ubani “unkulunkulu oyithini” phakathi kwabo, umqondisi-jikelele we-NTDC uvele kumabonakude nasemaphepheni ephephandabeni ethengisa imibono yakhe ngokuthi ezokuvakasha kufanele zibe yini, kanti ungqongqoshe naye wayenalo. wavala izikhungo zikahulumeni kwamanye amahansi zasendle
izinhlelo kanye nokuhlangana nabathile ababambe iqhaza kwezokuvakasha abakhuluma nhlangothi zombili zomlomo wabo.
Seluvele lukhona "UHlelo Olukhulu Lwezokuvakasha," njengoba ukuqaliswa kwalo kusadala inkulumompikiswano phakathi kwezinkampani ezingenelisekile zikahulumeni nezizimele ngokulandelana kwazo.
Imisebenzi yomnyango kanye ne-NTDC yokuqinisekisa ukuthi iNigeria iyathuthukiswa futhi imakethwa njengendawo enhle emhlabeni wonke iyekelwa ngenxa yengxabano engapheli phakathi kukangqongqoshe nomphathi we-NTDC, isimo ebesilokhu sibuza ongoti ukuthi bayazisebenzela yini noma embonini yezokuvakasha kuleli.
Ngenxa yempi engapheli, iNigeria iphuthelwe ngamathuba ambalwa ebingawasebenzisa ekwenzeni amacala okuthi kungani ukutshalwa kwezimali kwezokuvakasha kanye nezivakashi kufanele bavakashele iNigeria kuzo zombili izinkundla zasekhaya nezamazwe ngamazwe.
Uhlelo lwesine lwe-Abuja Carnival, olubanjwe phakathi kukaNovemba 20-23, bekungaba yimpumelelo enkulu ukube abahleli, ungqongqoshe kanye ne-NTDC basebenze kanye nezinye izinhlangano ezifanele ekuboneni ukuthi alikho itshe elishiywe ngaphandle ukuze kuzuzwe impumelelo efiselekayo kwezokuvakasha eNigeria. .
Ngebhadi-ke akwenzekanga lokhu okwenza kube nombuzo othi: Ngabe sisashiya abantu abafanayo abalwela izinto zabo siqu futhi belahla izithakazelo zesizwe esiphethe ezokuvakasha zethu? Impendulo kufanele kube cha.
Umqondisi-jikelele we-Abuja Carnival 2008, uProfessor Ahmed Yerima, utshele le ntatheli ukuthi imali ayizange ikhishwe ukukhangisa, ukukhangisa kanye neminye imisebenzi ebalulekile ebaluleke kakhulu empumelelweni yanoma yimuphi umcimbi wezokuvakasha njenge-Abuja Carnival.
Olunye udaba yimpicabadala engabalelwa ecishe ibe yizigidi ezingama-N400 naira (cishe ama-US$34,000) abekelwe isabelomali somkhosi wokugubha kubhajethi ka-2008. Lona ngomunye wemibuzo eminingi efuna impendulo.
Kulo nyaka uwodwa, iNigeria ibambe iqhaza emibukisweni emithathu yezokuvakasha ebaluleke kakhulu emhlabeni, akukho ncwajana eyodwa noma izinto zokukhangisa ku-Abuja Carnival ezibonisiwe. Kusukela e-FITUR International Exhibition eMadrid, eSpain (obanjwa njalo ngoJanuwari nangoFebhuwari), kuya e-ITB-Berlin International Travel Exchange eJalimane (obanjwa njalo ngoNdasa) kuya eWorld Travel Market (obanjwa njalo ngoNovemba eLondon), akukho lutho embuthweni wokugubha umkhosi owawukhona. isibonisi.
Ungqongqoshe uvele kafushane njengoba iningi labo lalihlale lenza ngaphandle kweNxusa uFrank Ogbuewu ngenkathi engungqongqoshe engqungqutheleni esanda kuphothulwa ye-WTM yengqungquthela kangqongqoshe wezokuvakasha, kodwa akazange alubeke unyawo esitendini sangempela saseNigeria, esatholakala imizuzu embalwa nje. kude nengqungquthela yongqongqoshe. Ngakho-ke, kukhombisa izinga lokungaboni ngaso linye phakathi komphathi we-NTDC nongqongqoshe.
Nakuba impi isaqhubeka, umkhakha wezokuvakasha waseNigeria usalokhu ungathuthukisiwe futhi ubekwe ngaphansi kude kakhulu kunanoma iyiphi indawo evelayo eNtshonalanga Afrika; ngemuva kweGhana, Benin, Gambia, Cameroon, phakathi kwabanye. Nakuba, umuntu kusafanele avume izimpumelelo ezibuthakathaka ze-NTDC, ijubane izinto ezihamba ngalo lisalokhu lingamukelekile.
Mayelana nongqongqoshe, kulindeleke ukuthi azibophezele ngokuphelele kuye nakuzo zonke izinhlaka zakhe zezokuvakasha. Kungenjalo, kungani esaphethe?
