I-IATA Caribbean Aviation Day: Ukwenza i-Caribbean ibe indawo eyodwa oya kuyo

Ukuxhumana kungesinye sezihloko ezinkulu ezidingidwayo ukuze kwenziwe iCaribbean “indawo eyodwa okuyiwa kuyo.”

U-Peter Cerdá, Iphini Likamongameli Wesifunda, i-The Americas, IATA, wethule amazwi akhe okuvula ngalolu suku lwe-IATA Caribbean Aviation Day e-Grand Cayman, okwabelwana ngalo lapha:

Izivakashi ezihloniphekile, Madoda namanene, Siyakwamukela osukwini lwe-IATA Caribbean Aviation.

Ngaphambi kokuthi siqale, egameni le-IATA kanye nezinkampani zethu zezindiza ezingamalungu angama-290, sithanda ukudlulisa amazwi enduduzo kubantu base-Cayman Islands, ngokudlula emhlabeni koMhlonishwa u-Queen Elizabeth II ngesonto eledlule.

Uzokhunjulwa ngokubeka umsebenzi ngaphezu kwakho konke okunye futhi ngokuthuthukiswa kweCommonwealth, kuqhubekisele phambili isibopho esifanayo emazweni amaningi aseCaribbean.

Imicabango nemikhuleko yethu inawe.

Ngithanda futhi ukubonga uHulumeni waseCayman ngokuba abasingathi abaphana kangaka

I-COVID & Qala kabusha

Ukusihlanganisa sonke lapha kukhombisa ukuthi uyaliqonda iqhaza elibalulekile elidlalwa amabhanoyi kulesi sifunda.

Ubani obengacabanga ukuthi ngenkathi sigcina ukuhlangana endaweni efanayo ku-IATA Caribbean Aviation Day emuva ngo-2018, ubhubhane lomhlaba wonke lwaluzomisa umhlaba?

Ukuvalwa kwemingcele kanye nokumiswa kwendiza kunciphisa imigudu yamazwe amaningi nahlukene akha lesi sifunda.

Futhi, vele, akekho kuleli gumbi odinga ngempela isikhumbuzi mayelana nokuncikelana - phakathi kwezindiza nezokuvakasha njengoba imboni yethu inikele ngo-13.9% ku-GDP kanye no-15.2% wayo yonke imisebenzi e-Caribbean pre-bhubhane ngo-2019.

Eqinisweni, ngokwe- WTTC, amazwe ayisishiyagalombili kwayishumi athembele kakhulu kwezokuvakasha emhlabeni wonke ngo-2019 abesendaweni yaseCaribbean”

Nakuba amazwe afana ne-Antigua ne-St. Lucia ayephakathi kwawokuqala ukwamukela izivakashi zenkathi yasebusika ka-2020, imingcele yokuhamba eshintshashintshayo neshintsha ngokushesha yabeka umthwalo omkhulu wokuphatha nokusebenza ezinhlanganweni zezindiza, yanciphisa isidingo.

Esinye sezifundo ezinkulu ezitholwe eminyakeni emi-2 edlule ukuthi ohulumeni kanye neketango lenani lezindiza kumele bathole izindlela ezingcono zokubambisana nokuxhumana ezingeni eliphelele, ngenhloso yokuqinisekisa ngokuhlanganyela inhlalakahle yenhlalakahle yezomnotho yalesi sifunda. 

Esakubona ngalesi sikhathi sodlame ukuthi izinqumo zishintshele ezinhlanganweni zezempilo, phambilini ebezingeyona ingxenye yochungechunge lwenani lokundiza kwendiza.

Kwesinye isikhathi ukuswelakala kolwazi nokuqonda ubunkimbinkimbi bebhizinisi lethu kuholele ekwakhiweni kwezivumelwano ezingenangqondo.

Ukubuyisela & Ukuxhumana

Ngokuhambisana nendikimba yomcimbi wanamuhla: “Buyisa, Xhuma Kabusha, Vuselela”, ake sibheke ngokuhlanganyela ukuthi singalakha kanjani ikusasa elingcono ndawonye.

Izindaba ezinhle ukuthi abantu bafuna ukuhamba.

Lokhu kwenziwe kwacaca kakhulu ngokululama okuqhubekayo.

Ukuhamba kwezindiza zabagibeli emhlabeni wonke sekufinyelele ku-74.6% wamazinga angaphambi kwenhlekelele. 

E-Caribbean, ukululama kuyashesha nakakhulu njengoba sesifinyelele ku-81% wamazinga angaphambi kwenhlekelele ngoJuni. 

Ezinye izimakethe, njenge-Dominican Republic sezivele zidlule amazinga ka-2019.

Futhi nakuba ukuxhumana kwamazwe ngamazwe phakathi kweCaribbean, amazwe aseMelika naseYurophu sekubuyiselwe kakhulu, ukuhamba ngaphakathi kwesifunda kuseyinselele.

Sifinyelele kuphela ku-60% wamazinga wabagibeli be-intra-Caribbean uma kuqhathaniswa no-2019 futhi ezimeni eziningi ukuphela kwendlela yokufinyelela kwezinye iziqhingi ngokusebenzisa i-Miami noma i-Panama.

Nakuba imakethe ye-intra-Caribbean ingewona usayizi wezimakethe zesifunda ezingxenyeni eziningi zomhlaba, iyimakethe edinga ukuhlinzekwa, hhayi nje ukuze kuzuze izakhamuzi zendawo kanye namabhizinisi, kodwa futhi ukusiza ukuvakasha kwezindawo eziningi.

I-Multi-Destination Tourism & Seamless Pax Processing

Njengoba sizobe sizwa ngesikhathi esisodwa samaphaneli namuhla, ukuthengisa nokudayisa i-Caribbean njengendawo yokuya ezindaweni eziningi kuya ngokuya kubaluleke kakhulu njengoba ingcindezi yokwehla kwamandla emali izoba nomthelela omubi emalini engenayo etholakalayo kwezinye zezimakethe ezibalulekile njengeCanada, i-Europe kanye e-USA.

Lapho abenzi bamaholide bezobe benquma ukuthi bazochitha kuphi izinsuku zabo zeholide ezibalulekile kanye nesabelomali, ukukwazi ukunikeza okuhlangenwe nakho okuhlukahlukene kuzoba ukhiye.

Futhi uma zindiza, abahambi banamuhla nabo bafuna ulwazi olungenamthungo/olulula.

Nakuba ingqalasizinda ebonakalayo ingabonakali njengento evimbela ukuxhumana esifundeni, ukudala izimo ezifanele zokukhiqiza isidingo esizosekela ukwanda okusimeme kokuxhuma komoya esifundeni kuseyinselele. 

Izinqubo zokulawula nokulawula eseziphelelwe yisikhathi, ezingasasebenzi neze nezisekelwe emaphepheni ziyaqhubeka nokuba nomthelela omubi ekusebenzeni kwezindiza.

Kanye nalabo abaphethe ezingeni likahulumeni, sidinga ukungena ngokushesha enkathini yedijithali ukuze sinikeze ulwazi olungcono lwamakhasimende kanye nokusebenza kwezindiza ezisebenza kahle nezivikelekile.

Izindaba ezinhle ukuthi ohulumeni abaningi behla ngaleyo ndlela uma kukhulunywa ngokuhlinzeka ngezimvume zokuhamba ngesikhathi sokuphakama kwalolu bhubhane.

Ngakho-ke sidinga ukwakhela phezu kwalokhu okuhlangenwe nakho siye phambili, kunokuba sibuyele ezindleleni ezindala nezingasebenzi kahle.

Lesi sifunda sibe nethuba elihle lokuguqula emuva ngo-2007 ngesikhathi sisingethe Indebe Yomhlaba Yekhilikithi futhi sakha uhlelo olulodwa lwasekhaya lokuhamba mahhala kwezivakashi. Kuzodingekani ukumisa ingxoxo futhi njengesiqubulo se-Nike sithi "yenza nje"!

Izindleko Eziphakeme Zokwenza Ibhizinisi - Izintela, Izinkokhelo Nezimali Ezikhokhwayo

Itimu eqhubekayo futhi izintela nezindleko ezikhokhiswayo endizeni. Yebo, siyaqonda ukuthi ukuhlinzekwa kwengqalasizinda eyanele yendiza kuza ngezindleko, kodwa ezikhathini eziningi kuba nzima ukubona ukuhlobana phakathi kwezinga lezindleko nezindleko kanye nesevisi yangempela enikeziwe.

Umhlinzeki Wesevisi Ye-Dutch Caribbean Air Navigation ozinze e-Curacao uyisibonelo esisodwa lapho abasebenzisi behlanganyela khona ngokungaguquki nangempumelelo enqubweni yokubonisana esobala.

Ngokuphambene, kwezinye izindawo esifundeni kusenokwehluka okubanzi kwezinga lokubonisana kanye nokubandakanyeka kwabasebenzisi ukuze kuqinisekiswe umphumela omuhle.

Ukubonisana okuphumelelayo kuncike ekuhlelweni nasengxoxweni eyakhayo yabo bonke abathintekayo.

Kuyasiza ukubeka phambili ukutshalwa kwezimali kanye nokuqinisekisa ukuthi umthamo owanele kanye nezinsizakalo zizohlinzekwa ukuhlangabezana nesidingo sabasebenzisi bamanje nabazayo.

Ake ngikunike esinye isibonelo sokuthi amanye amazwe ase-Caribbean azikhipha kanjani amanani emqhudelwaneni womhlaba jikelele wezokuvakasha nezokuvakasha: Uma abagibeli bengafiki “njalo” ngamahora ebhizinisi angu-9 kuya kwangu-5, izinkampani zezindiza zikhokhiswa imali yesikhathi esengeziwe esibalulekile ukuze umgibeli ngamunye kusetshenzwe abokufika kanye namasiko. Izindiza akulona ibhizinisi le-9 kuya ku-5. Ukuxhumana komhlaba wonke kwenzeka ubusuku nemini. Le nqubo ayamukelekile futhi ayinangqondo njengoba labo bagibeli abafanayo yibo abahlala emahhotela endawo, bedla ezindaweni zokudlela zasendaweni, futhi begqugquzela umnotho wendawo, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi bafika ngasiphi isikhathi. Pho kungani kujeziswa futhi kukhokhiswe izindiza ezengeziwe ezithutha laba bagibeli? Kungani ungashintshi isimo sengqondo futhi ulungise amazinga ezisebenzi zentela ngokufanele futhi uhehe izinkampani zezindiza eziningi emakethe?

Ngaphezu kwalokho, izintela nezinkokhelo ezengezwe kumathikithi endiza zinyusa kakhulu izindleko zokuhamba ngendiza ukuya nokubuya esifundeni.

Ngokuqhathanisa, ezingeni lomhlaba wonke izintela nezinkokhiso zenza cishe u-15% yenani lamathikithi futhi e-Caribbean isilinganiso siphinda kabili lokhu cishe ku-30% yenani lamathikithi.

Kwezinye izimakethe, izintela, izinkokhelo nezinkokhiso zenza ingxenye yenani eliphelele lamathikithi. Isibonelo: Endizeni esuka e-Barbados eya e-Barbuda, izintela nezinkokhelo zimelela u-56% yenani lamathikithi. Endizeni esuka e-Bahamas iya e-Jamaica, ama-42%. I-St. Lucia iya e-Trinidad nase-Tobago, nayo engu-42%. Futhi iPort of Spain kuya eBarbados: 40%. Uma kuqhathaniswa, iLima, iPeru kuya eCancun, eMexico, enye indawo yasebhishi, izintela nezimali ezikhokhwayo zimele kuphela ama-23%.

Abagibeli banamuhla banenketho futhi njengoba inani eliphelele lamaholide liya ngokuya liba yisici sokuthatha izinqumo, ohulumeni kufanele bahlakaniphe futhi bangazibeki intengo emakethe. Isibonelo, indiza yeholide lezinsuku ezingu-8 ukusuka e-London ukuya e-Bridgetown ngo-Okthoba ilinganiselwa ku-$800. Kodwa indiza esuka eLondon iya eDubai ngesikhathi esifanayo icishe ibe ngama-$600. Emndenini wabane, lowo umehluko we-$800 ezindizeni nje.

Esinye isibonelo esiseduze nasekhaya: I-Miami iya e-Antigua, sibheke ithikithi lokuya nokubuya lika-$900 ngezinsuku ezifanayo zika-Okthoba. Kodwa iMiami ukuya eCancun ilinganiselwa ku-$310 ngethikithi lokuya nokubuya. Futhi, emndenini wabane, lowo umehluko ophelele ongaphezu kuka-$2,000 wezindiza nje!

Izindawo zaseCaribbean zifaka engcupheni yokuzikhipha emakethe yezokuvakasha neyokuvakasha yomhlaba lapho abagibeli benokukhetha okuningi kunangaphambili.

Isiphetho

Sengiphetha, iCaribbean idinga ukuhlala iyindawo ekhangayo yabavakashi: The WTTC ibikezela ukukhuphuka kwe-GDP yonyaka okungaba ngu-6.7% phakathi kuka-2022 no-2023 uma izinqubomgomo ezifanele zisetshenziswa.

Isidingo sokuhamba ngendiza sesisondele ekufinyeleleni emazingeni angaphambi kobhubhane kodwa ukuze sisekele umkhakha wezindiza esimeme njengengxenye ebalulekile yochungechunge lwenani lezokuvakasha sidinga ohulumeni basebenzisane bodwa kanye nemboni. Nokho, sidinga okungaphezu nje kwamazwi amahle azwakalayo nezimemezelo, sidinga isenzo.

Futhi njengoba izifunda eziningi emhlabeni wonke zisebenzela ukuheha abavakashi, labo abaphethe i-Caribbean kumele bathathe indlela ehlanganisa zonke izinto kulesi sihloko, esikhundleni sokuthatha umuntu ngamunye.

Ukunikeza iCaribbean njengesifunda esinezindawo eziningi ezinokuxhumana okuhle, okusebenzayo nokungabizi kakhulu komhlaba kanye nesifunda kuzodala isiphakamiso sokuthengisa esiyingqayizivele.
