Umsakazi webhizinisi wamazwe ngamazwe ohamba phambili u-Richard Quest ungomunye wobuso obaziwa kakhulu beqembu le-CNN. Quest, owengamele i-22 UNWTO Inkulumompikiswano esezingeni eliphezulu yoMkhandlu Kazwelonke ngezokuvakasha kanye nama-SDG, yabelana ngemibono yakhe ngamathemba alo mkhakha.
Q - Ubulokhu ubika ngomkhakha wezokuvakasha kule minyaka eyishumi edlule. Ukubona kanjani ukuvela komkhakha eminyakeni ezayo?
A – Umuntu kufanele akhumbule ukuthi ezokuvakasha zingomunye wemikhakha ekhula ngokushesha emhlabeni; iphesenti layo le-GDP liyi-10% futhi limele umsebenzi owodwa kweyi-1. Ukubaluleka kwayo akungabazeki. Umbuzo uthi ungakhula kanjani ngendlela eqhubekayo. Ingabe izinzuzo zingajatshulelwa yibo bonke noma sigcine sesiwumjaho obheke phansi? Lokho kuzoba yinselelo enkulu: ukwakha imboni yezokuvakasha enengqondo, esimeme futhi enenzuzo.
Q - UNWTO isebenza eduze nabezindaba futhi ifaka isandla ekuthuthukiseni amakhono ezintatheli ukuze zibike ngezokuvakasha. Ngokubona kwakho liyini iqhaza lomphakathi wezindaba ekusekeleni ezokuvakasha ezisimeme?
A – Iqhaza labezindaba alikona ukukhuthaza umbono owodwa noma omunye. Ezokuvakasha ezisimeme yinqubomgomo esivele yenziwe ngokwengqikithi yeNhlangano Yezizwe Ezihlangene kanye neNhlangano Yezokuvakasha Yomhlaba, njengengxenye yama-SDG.
Ngakho-ke, kufanele sibike ngayo, ngenqubekelaphambili eyenziwayo kanye nokuthi inomqondo noma iyaphuma yini. Ngicabanga ukuthi into abezindaba abangazifela ngayo wumbuzo othi ngabe siyalwakha lolu hlaka, uma imigomo iyafezeka, uma UNWTO wenza okulungile noma okungalungile…Akuwona umsebenzi wethu lowo. Umsebenzi wethu ukubika ngokwenzekayo, ukuthi kuphoqelelwa kanjani nokuthi kubhekwa kanjani, kanye nokukhomba impumelelo kanye nalezo zimo lapho kudingeka kwenziwe umsebenzi omningi. Kodwa asikho ebhizinisini lokuthuthukisa i-ajenda yomunye umuntu. Kungaba yiphutha elikhulu ukuthi abantu bakholelwe ukuthi leli yindima yabezindaba.
Q - Okukodwa kwe UNWTOUmsebenzi 'wokusekela ukuxhumana nabezokuvakasha' nabezindaba. Ungaba yini iseluleko sakho ezindaweni ukuze uthuthukise ubudlelwano bazo nabezindaba?
A – Awukwazi ukusebenzelana nabezindaba kuphela uma izinto zihamba kahle. Awukwazi ukuthinta abantu abafana nami bese uthi “Ngikuphathele indaba emnandi, woza” noma “kungani ungezi uzokukhuthaza lokhu?” Indaba emnandi iyindaba emnandi, kodwa ubudlelwano bangempela yilabo obakhiwe isikhathi eside, lapho abezindaba bekhula ukuqonda okuhle okwenzeka ezweni lakini, ubunzima obukhona kanye nokuthi yini eyenziwayo ukuxazulula lezo zinkinga. .
Ongqongqoshe bezokuvakasha abahlale bexoxisana nabezindaba bethi “yilokhu esikwenzayo mayelana nezokuvakasha ezizinzile”, “yilokhu esikwenzayo ngobuphekula”, “yilokhu esikwenzayo mayelana nezokuphepha” noma “indlela , sinenkinga yokugcwala ngokweqile noma ukwakhiwa ngokweqile ogwini lolwandle, yilokhu esikwenzayo”… Laba ngabefundisi abayoba nendlebe yami lapho benendaba emnandi noma indaba eyinselele.
Ngakho-ke, iseluleko sami kunoma yimuphi ungqongqoshe wezokuvakasha noma ihhovisi lezokuvakasha ukuthi ubudlelwano nabezindaba angeke buvulwe futhi buvalwe. Akusebenzi ngaleyo ndlela. Uzosha. Ubudlelwano obudala nabezindaba bakha amabhuloho amaqembu amabili awela kuwo esikhathini esizayo.
LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:
- Ongqongqoshe bezokuvakasha abahlale bexoxisana nabezindaba bethi “yilokhu esikwenzayo mayelana nezokuvakasha ezizinzile”, “yilokhu esikwenzayo ngobuphekula”, “yilokhu esikwenzayo mayelana nezokuphepha” noma “indlela , sinenkinga yokugcwala ngokweqile noma ukwakhiwa ngokweqile ogwini lolwandle, yilokhu esikwenzayo”… Laba ngabefundisi abayoba nendlebe yami lapho benendaba emnandi noma indaba eyinselele.
- ” A good story is a good story, but the real relationships are those that are built over a long period of time, where the media grows to understand the good that is happening in your country, the difficulties there and what is being done to solve those.
- I think that one thing that the media can become obsessed with is the question of if we are creating this framework, if the goals are being met, if UNWTO is doing the right thing or the wrong thing…That is not our job.
