Izindiza kulesi sikhathi samaholide zizoncipha futhi zizogcwala kakhulu. Izindleko zezindiza cishe zizoba phezulu. Futhi ukulinda izintengo zikawoyela ukuthi zehle ukuze izindleko zohambo lwakho zifane nesabelomali sakho sokuhamba ngeholide akulona isu nhlobo, kusho ochwepheshe bezokuvakasha.
Njengoba kusondela isikhathi samaholide nesebusika, izihlalo eziningi zezindiza ezihamba phambili ziyathathwa, futhi abangaphakathi embonini abalindele ukuthi kungezwe okwengeziwe. Ezinyonini zeqhwa ezizama ukuhlela impumuzo yasebusika sekwephuzile ku-cabin fever, ukushintsha kwe-tectonic yemboni yezindiza ukuya ezindlekweni eziphakeme nezinkokhiso kanye nezihlalo ezimbalwa kusho ukuthi ikhalenda lokuhamba lalo nyaka liyashintsha.
I-Watchword kumhambi othembekile: Hlela kusenesikhathi futhi ubhukhe kusenesikhathi — njengaku: manje.
Cabanga ngeCancun, eMexico, imakethe yasebusika ethandwayo yabantu abasuka eMinneapolis-St. UPawulu.
"Phakathi kweNorthwest neSun Country (izinkampani zezindiza), bekunezindiza ezine kuya kweziyisithupha ngosuku eziya eCancun," kusho uGerard Bellino, iphini likamongameli we-US Leisure e-Navigant Vacations, inkampani yezokuvakasha ephethwe nguCarlson Wagonlit. “Manje sekubili. Sibhekene nokuqiniswa okukhulu kwebhande.”
Nakuba izindiza ezengeziwe zingase zengezwe kulowo mzila, uBellino uthe lokho akukenzeki. Uma sikhuluma ngokuvamile ngenkathi yamaholide ebanzi, “amaphesenti angu-80 esikhala asehambile kakade.”
Akuvamile ukuthi imakethe yezokuvakasha ngamaholide ishintshe kakhulu onyakeni owodwa. Ngonyaka odlule, ngaphambi kokwenyuka kwentengo kawoyela nezindleko zikaphethiloli wendiza, nangaphambi kokuba kukhulunywe ngesisekelo somnotho, izinkampani zezindiza zazehlisa inqwaba yezihlalo, ngethemba lokuheha amabhizinisi. Hhayi ngalesi sikhathi. Nakuba ukukhathazeka ngomnotho obanzi kungase kugcine abanye abahambi bengekho esikhumulweni sezindiza kule sizini, ungalindeli ukuthengiswa okukhulu kwemali yokugibela noma ukuncipha kwazo zonke lezo zindleko zezindiza ezintsha ezibekwe kuleli hlobo.
“Uma ubheka ukuthi izindiza zinjani ngokubomvu, uma lezo zimali zikhuphula imali engenayo, zizoyithatha,” kusho uGabe Saglie, umhleli omkhulu e-Travel Zoo, isiza sokuvakasha ku-inthanethi. Mayelana nokwehla kwemali yokugibela, “Angicabangi ukuthi kuzoze kube ngemva kwamaholide … ngoba ithuba elilandelayo lokuthi lezi zinkampani zezindiza zithole enye yemali yazo engenayo kuzoba inkathi yamaholide ezayo.”
'NJENGOKUDLALA IMAKETHI YESTOCK'
U-Barb deBorhegyi nomndeni wakhe waseMinneapolis wabane bavame ukwehlela eMexico ngesikhathi sikaKhisimusi bevakashela umndeni. Kulo nyaka, baya eGuatemala. Imvamisa, baqala ukufuna amathikithi ngoSepthemba. Kodwa ngokukhuphuka kwezintengo zamathikithi kuleli hlobo, u-deBorhegyi ungene ku-inthanethi kusenesikhathi.
"Izintengo bezimane nje ziyahlanya," kusho u-deBorhegyi. Waqapha izingosi ze-inthanethi zokuhamba, efuna imali engcono kakhulu yendiza.
“Ngesinye isikhathi, bekuyi-$1,000 ithikithi. Futhi-ke ngosuku olulandelayo, izokwehla ifike ku-$650. Bekugcwele yonke indawo,” kusho yena. Ezinsukwini ezimbalwa, wabhukha amathikithi ngo-$850 lilinye engosini ye-American Airlines.
“Kwakunjengokudlala imakethe yamasheya; kwakukhona ukuguquguquka okukhulu. "
U-Bellino kanye nabanye ochwepheshe bezokuvakasha bayavuma - uma unezinsuku engqondweni manje futhi wazi ukuthi ufuna ukuhamba kuphi kulobu busika, khona-ke kungcono ukuthi ungalindi.
Ngokuwohloka komnotho, izinkinga ku-Wall Street kanye nokukhuphuka kwezintengo zamathikithi endiza, abathengi bebengase bacabange ukuthi bambalwa abantu abazohamba, okuvula ithuba lokuthola imali yokugibela ehloniphekile. Kepha abantu abahlose ukuya emakhaya ngamaholidi bazohamba “kungakhathaliseki ukuthi umnotho unjani,” kusho uBellino, futhi abaningi babhukhe izihlalo zabo ezinyangeni eziyisithupha kuya kweziyisikhombisa ezedlule.
Ukubhuka kuhlale kuzinzile njengoba izindiza zinciphise umthamo ukuze zisondele enzuzweni, okusho ukuthi izindiza zigcwala ngokushesha. Ngokwesibonelo, i-Eagan-based Northwest Airlines, izonciphisa cishe amaphesenti angu-9.5 omthamo wohlelo lonke kule kota, uma kuqhathaniswa nonyaka odlule. Abanye abathwali bezwe, okuhlanganisa nezimbangi ezishibhile, benze ukunciphisa okufanayo.
Umthelela wakho konke lokho kunqunywa kwendiza - kanye nomthelela wako ezindizeni zezindiza - kuyahlukahluka kuye ngemakethe. Kodwa bambalwa ababona ukwehla.
Ucwaningo lwezindiza olwenziwa yiHarrell Associates lusanda kuthola ukwenyuka konyaka nonyaka ngamaphesenti angama-26 ePhiladelphia, amaphesenti ayi-17 eMinneapolisSt. UPaul namaphesenti angu-15 eNewark, NJ, osebenzela imakethe yaseNew York City. Sekukonke kuzwelonke, imali yokungcebeleka ibinyuke ngamaphesenti ayi-11, kanti imali yebhizinisi ikhuphuke ngamaphesenti ayisi-6. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ucwaningo lwathola ukuthi imali yokugibela e-San Antonio yehle ngamaphesenti angu-12 kuleli hlobo uma kuqhathaniswa nonyaka odlule.
IMBONI YEMPILO
E-Twin Cities, lapho i-Champion Air ivaliwe ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka, azikho izindiza eziqashisayo eziya e-Las Vegas, "okuyinto engavamile kule makethe," kusho u-Sheree Powers, umnikazi we-Travel By Nelson, i-ejensi yezokuvakasha yase-Woodbury. "Sonke sicabanga ukuthi bazoletha enye inkampani yezindiza bayibize nge-charter."
Omunye umphumela wemakethe eqinile ukuthi amadili wamaphakheji angase aqale ukubukeka kangcono kubathengi, kusho abasebenzeli bezokuvakasha.
"Abantu bayathanda ukulawula, ukuzimbela amahhotela abo," kusho uSaglie, umhleli wezokuvakasha ku-inthanethi. Kodwa inkontileka yephakheji ingaba ukuthenga okungcono kakhulu kule sizini. Izindawo zokungcebeleka namahhotela zisabela kumnotho wezokuvakasha wamanje. "Ngisho noma imali yendiza ikhuphuka kancane," kusho uSaglie, "intengo yezindawo zokungcebeleka eMexico inamandla kakhulu, intengo (yonke) isazoba yinhle kakhulu."
Ngokwesibonelo, iNorthwest Airlines 'World Vacations, isanda kuba nephakethe elivela e-Twin Cities ubusuku obuhlanu e-Waikiki, eHawaii, ngemali engaphansi kuka-$900, okuhlanganisa nemali yendiza nehhotela, kusho uSaglie. Amahhotela eHawaii enze kahle ekuqaleni kwehlobo kodwa abona ezokuvakasha kwehla, esho. Ngakho-ke, amanani ekamelo ancishisiwe maningi kakhulu.
“Abantu bazocabanga ngaphambi kokuthi bandize manje. Ngicabanga ukuthi umehluko lowo,” kusho uKenneth Button, umqondisi weGeorge Mason University's Center for Transportation Policy. Nokho akakuboni ukuphindaphinda kweminyaka yawo-1970 kanye nezinsuku zangaphambi kokwesulwa kwemithetho yenkampani yezindiza, lapho kuphela ababemi kahle bandiza nganoma isiphi isikhathi.
Ukunakwa okukhulu ezindizeni "kuzosebenza kubahambi bebhizinisi njengoba kwenza kubantu ngabanye," kusho uButton. Futhi ekugcineni, kuzoholela embonini yezindiza enempilo, ukholelwa ukuthi. Sekuyiminyaka eminingi izinkampani zezindiza zingasebenzi, “futhi awukwazi ukuphila kanjalo.”
Okubonwa abathengi manje ukulinganisa kokuhlinzekwa kanye nesidingo - okufanele ngabe senzeka eminyakeni edlule, esho.
