Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi i-kayaking e-Iberá Marshes e-Argentina noma ukubuka izinyoni e-Ba-Be Lake eVietnam, izivakashi zinikeza imali yokongiwa kwamaxhaphozi emhlabeni wonke, njengoba kuboniswe encwadini entsha eyethulwe yi-Ramsar Secretariat and UNWTO.
Ngaphandle kokuhlinzeka ngezinsizakalo ezibalulekile ezifana namanzi, ukudla, namandla, izindawo ezingamaxhaphozi zinikeza amathuba abalulekile ezokuvakasha, ezingaletha izinzuzo zomnotho emiphakathini yendawo kanye nokuphathwa okusimeme kwamaxhaphozi, ngokusho kwencwadi ethi Destination Wetlands: Supporting Sustainable Tourism.
Ukukhula kwezokuvakasha okusimeme akubonisi nje kuphela izinto ezingokoqobo zemvelo, kodwa futhi nesifiso esivela kubavakashi ngokwabo sokwamukela ezokuvakasha eziluhlaza. "Kunomkhuba phakathi kwezivakashi zokuphendukela ezinhlotsheni eziluhlaza zokuvakasha, ezibheke ezindaweni ezinikeza izilwane zasendle namagugu," kusho uCristian Barhalescu, uNobhala Wezwe, Umnyango Wezokuthuthukiswa Kwesifunda Nezokuvakasha eRomania, "Njengezindawo ezingamaxhaphozi, ngokuhlukahluka nokunotha kwazo, kuncike ekuthuthukisweni kwezokuvakasha, ukuxhumana phakathi kwezokuvakasha namaxhaphozi kufanele kunakwe ngokukhethekile yibo bonke ababambe iqhaza.”
Ngezifundo eziyi-14, ezihlanganisa izinhlobo ezahlukene zamaxhaphozi emhlabeni wonke, le ncwadi ikhombisa ukuthi imikhuba yezokuvakasha esimeme ezindaweni ezizungezile namaxhaphozi ingaba negalelo kanjani ekongiweni, ekukhuleni komnotho, ekunciphiseni ubumpofu, nasekusekeleni amasiko endawo.
Ukushicilelwa kwethulwa eMhlanganweni Weshumi nanye WeNgqungquthela Yamaqembu Abamba Inkontileka Yomhlangano we-Ramsar on Wetlands (COP11) e-Bucharest, e-Romania (11-6 July 13). I-COP2012 ebanjwe ngaphansi kwendikimba Yezindawo Ezimanzi Nezokuvakasha, izokhuluma ngeSinqumo esiyingqopha-mlando mayelana Nezindawo Ezimanzi Nezokuvakasha, sinxusa izindlela eziphusile zokuvakasha ezindaweni ezingamaxhaphozi.
“Ukwamukelwa kwalesi Sinqumo Sezokuvakasha Nezindawo Ezimanzi kuzohlinzeka ngohlaka olubalulekile lokusiza amazwe abone kangcono ukuxhumana phakathi kwamaxhaphozi kanye nezokuvakasha ukuze kuthuthukiswe ezokuvakasha ezisimeme ezindaweni ezingamaxhaphozi nezinye imvelo. Iphakamisa izinyathelo abangazithatha esikhathini esifushane nesikhathi eside ukuze baqinisekise ukuvakasha kwamaxhaphozi okusimeme,” kusho u-Anada Tiéga, uNobhala Jikelele we-Ramsar Convention, “Yebo, kubalulekile ukucabangela ezokuvakasha kuwo wonke amaxhaphozi - hhayi nje lawo aqokwe njengawo. I-Ramsar Sites - njengoba Amaqembu Enkontileka Yesivumelwano azibophezele ekulawuleni wonke amaxhaphozi futhi akhuthaze ukusetshenziswa kwawo ngobuhlakani."
“E-Romania, ukuthuthukiswa kwe-eco-tourism ezindaweni ezingamaxhaphozi kuyinto ehamba phambili, futhi isibonelo kulokhu i-Danube Delta. I-Ramsar Sites e-Romania kumele ibekwe esikhungweni sokunaka kwethu futhi uMnyango Wezemvelo Namahlathi, kanye noMnyango Wezokuthuthukiswa Kwesifunda Nezokuvakasha, bazoqinisekisa ukuthi lokhu kuyenzeka, "kusho uCorneliu Mugurel Cozmanciuc, uNobhala Wezwe, uMnyango. Wezemvelo Namahlathi aseRomania.
Ukugxila kwezokuvakasha ku-COP11 kuza ngemuva kokwanda kokubambisana phakathi UNWTO kanye ne-Ramsar Secretariat. Kusukela ngowezi-2010, bobabili bebesebenza ndawonye ekuthuthukiseni ezokuvakasha ezizinzile, njengoba kugujwa uSuku Lomhlaba Lwezindawo Ezimanzi 2012 (February 2) ngaphansi kwendikimba ethi “Izindawo Ezimanzi Nezokuvakasha: Isipiliyoni Esikhulu.”
“Amaxhaphozi angenye yezinto ezihamba phambili kwezokuvakasha, aheha izigidi zezivakashi unyaka nonyaka,” kusho. UNWTO UNobhala-Jikelele, u-Taleb Rifai, "Ukusebenza ngokubambisana ne-Ramsar Secretariat, UNWTO uzimisele ukulawula ezokuvakasha ezindaweni ezingamaxhaphozi ngendlela eqhubekayo ngokusebenzisa izinqubomgomo eziphusile nangokuhlela, ngaleyo ndlela zilondolozelwe ukuze zijabulele izizukulwane ezizayo.”
Abavakashi bamazwe ngamazwe abafika ezigidini ezingama-982 ngowezi-2011 futhi kulindeleke ukuthi bafinyelele phezulu ebhiliyoni eyodwa ngo-2012, okwenza imali engaphezulu kwesigidintathu samadola aseMelika (US$1 trillion) kumarisidi ezokuvakasha amazwe ngamazwe. Kulinganiselwa ukuthi ingxenye yazo zonke izivakashi ziya ezindaweni ezingamaxhaphozi, ikakhulukazi ezindaweni ezisogwini.
