Amapayipi amahhotela ase-Afrika ahlala eqinile yize kunezinselelo ezingakaze zibe khona

Ochwepheshe bezokutshalwa kwezimali base-Afrika, uWayne Troughton babelane ngemibono eyingqayizivele kwi-'Virtual Hotel Club 'yokuqala eyayibanjwe ekuqaleni kukaJulayi, inkundla enamandla nengahlelekile yePan-African yababambiqhaza bemboni yezokungenisa izihambi eya phambili kulo mkhakha ngalesi sikhathi senkinga.

Idatha yaqoqwa ocwaningweni olwaluhlanganisa opharetha besifunda nabamazwe aphesheya abayi-14 abasebenza esikhaleni samahhotela ase-Afrika (okubandakanya izinhlobo zamahhotela ezingama-41 namaphrojekthi angama-219 okwamanje asathuthukiswayo). Lokhu kufaka phakathi okuthandwa yiHilton Worldwide, Marriot International, Radisson Hotel Group neAccor Hotels, phakathi kokunye.

Ngokusho kukaTroughton, ngenkathi imboni yezokungenisa izihambi yase-Afrika ibhekene nezinselelo nezingqinamba ezingakaze zibonwe ngenxa yobhadane lomhlaba jikelele, uphawule ukuthi intuthuko ihlala inethemba phakathi kwabaningi bamahhotela (57%) njengoba kubikwa ngabasebenza kuleli zwekazi.

"Ngaphandle kokuvalwa nokwehla okukhulu kokusebenza, izisekelo zokutshala imali zesikhathi eside esifundeni seSub-Saharan zihlala zizinhle, yize kunezinselelo ezibucayi ezimaphakathi nesikhathi samanje ezinomthelela kulo mkhakha," esho.

"Emiklamweni yamahhotela engama-219 njengamanje Emapayipini ase-Afrika eseNingizimu yeSahara ingxenye enkulu (68%) yale miklamo iqhubeka njengoba bekuhleliwe, kanti yi-18% kuphela ebambe isikhathi esilinganiselwe, kanye nama-13% abanjwe ngokungapheli," esho. .,

“Ukukhathazeka phakathi kwabanikazi bamahhotela kusabonakala, futhi kwabaningana, indlela 'yokulinda ubone' ihlobene nezinto ezinjengokungaqiniseki mayelana namakheshi okuvinjelwa kohambo ezimakethe ezahlukahlukene, indlela yokubuyisa ukuzethemba kwezivakashi kanye nomthelela weCovid-19 ekulinganisweni kwamahhotela. Kodwa-ke, ithemba eliboniswa ngabanikazi abaningi livamise ukuqondana nokuqondwa komkhakha nokwamukelwa kwembono yesikhathi eside, ”kuchaza uTroughton.

Ngaphandle kwemvelo yamanje, amabhizinisi ahlobene nokwakha emazweni amaningana aqale kabusha umsebenzi wentuthuko ngokushesha okukhulu ngemuva kokuyekiswa kokuncipha kuphawule uTroughton.

"Ngokukhuthazayo, lokhu kuholele ekutheni amaphrojekthi angama-21 (amele amakamelo amahhotela angama-2946 emazweni ayi-15 ase-Afrika) kusalindeleke ukuthi avulwe ngonyaka wezi-2020, ngamaprojekthi angama-52% alindele ukubambezeleka kwesikhashana kwezinyanga ezi-3 - 6," esho.

"Ukubambezeleka kwesikhathi eside kuvame ukubonakala kulawo maphrojekthi abesezigabeni zokuqala (noma zokuhlela) zentuthuko," esho. “Lokhu kubambezeleka kungabangelwa wukungaqiniseki ukuthi izivalo zokuvakasha zizoqhubeka isikhathi esingakanani. Kodwa-ke, cishe ama-30% wamaphrojekthi asakhiwayo awalindeli ukuthi i-COVID-19 ingadala ukubambezeleka entuthukweni eqhubekayo, ”kusho yena.

Emhubheni jikelele wokuThuthukiswa kwe-Afrika eseNingizimu yeSahara, kunamahhotela anophawu angama-219 (amele amakamelo amahhotela angama-33 698) ezimakethe ezingama-38.

“I-East Africa isalokhu iyisifunda esinamapayipi amahhotela aqine kakhudlwana, kulandele iNtshonalanga bese kuba yiSouth Africa. I-East Africa inamahhotela angu-88 anophawu njengamanje asemapayipini, eNtshonalanga Afrika amahhotela angu-84 namahhotela aseNingizimu Afrika47, ”kusho uTroughton.

Kumahhotela angama-21 okulindeleke ukuthi avule iminyango ngo-2020, i-East Africa (40% yokuphakelwa okuphelele) izobona amakamelo ayi-1,134, amadolobha aphezulu yi-Antananarivo (22%), iDar es Salaam (20%) ne-Addis Ababa ( 20%).

INtshonalanga Afrika (47% yokuthengwa okuphelele) ibona amakamelo ayi-719 ahlelelwe ukungena ngo-2020 emadolobheni amakhulu kubandakanya i-Accra (28%), iBamako (28%) neCape Verde (24%).

ISouthern Africa (i-23% yamapayipi wentuthuko esewonke) ibona amakamelo angama-963 ahlelelwe ukungena ngo-2020, lapho iNingizimu Afrika - iGoli (71%) neTheku (21%) - bebona ubukhulu bomsebenzi, belandelwa yiZambia.

Njengoba iminotho eminingana iqala ukuvuleka kancane kancane, kanjalo namabhizinisi amaningi okungenisa izihambi ahlala ethembekile, azinikele kulo mkhakha futhi akhombisa ukuzimisela okudingekayo ukunqoba ubunzima obukhona manje.

“Yize bekunengcindezi ezindaweni zomnotho nezinqumo ezinzima, osomabhizinisi abaningi bamahhotela bakwazile ukuphothula ngempumelelo nokusayina izivumelwano nabanikazi ngesikhathi sokuvala. Sekuphothulwe amadili amasha ayi-15 ngabasebenzi abayisikhombisa emazweni ayi-7, kusukela ngenyanga kaMashi kuya kuJuni, ”kusho uTroughton.

Impendulo ikhombisa ukuthi lawa madili abesondele ekutholeni izithelo ngaphambi kwenkinga ye-COVID, abanikazi bekhombisa umoya oqinile wokuqhubeka namaphrojekthi. Impendulo eyengeziwe evela kubahlinzeki ikhombisa ukuthi lezi zivumelwano bezivame ukusayinwa emadolobheni amakhulu ase-Afrika afana ne-Abidjan, i-Accra, iLagos, neTheku ebeziqhayisa ngezimakethe eziqinile, nezinhlobonhlobo zokungenisa izihambi ngaphambi kwenkinga. Lezi zindawo kungenzeka ziphinde zithole ngesivinini esisheshayo kunezindawo zesibili, ukholelwa uTroughton.

"Abasebenzi abakhethiwe abakhombise ukuthi akukho zinkontileka ezisayiniwe ngalesi sikhathi baveze ukuthi amathuba ahlala ekhona nokuthi imibuzo emisha ibisaqhubeka," eqhubeka.

"Ezimweni eziningi, izimpendulo ezivela kubahlinzeki abakhulu zikhomba ushintsho oluhlukile oluya ekuguqulweni kwentuthuko yase-greenfield kuya phambili, ngendlela eguquguqukayo yezindleko nezindleko ze-PIP."

“Yize ukuvalwa komsebenzi kubeke amabhizinisi amaningi ezivakashi kanye nabatshalizimali esimeni esibucayi, siqaphele ushintsho oluhle emasontweni ambalwa edlule njengoba amabhizinisi amaningi ezihambeli aqala kabusha imisebenzi futhi siqala ukubona isimo esibalulekile ekuthumeleni izabelo zokweluleka izihambi , ”Kuphawula yena.

"Kunengqondo ukucabanga ukuthi indlela eqaphe kakhulu izothathwa ngabanikazi bamahhotela nabatshalizimali ekuhloleni isu labo lokutshala imali," esho. “Ngaphezu kwalokho lezo zimakethe eziqine kakhulu emkhakheni wokuhambela amabhizinisi asekhaya (bese kuba ezokungcebeleka kwasekhaya) kufanele zibe phakathi kwezokuqala ukuthola. Impela, ukugxila ezimakethe zakuleli yikhona okusize i-Asia ukuthi ilulame kubhadane lakwaSARS ekuqaleni kweminyaka yama-2000. ”

“Kulabo banikazi nabasebenza ngokuthatha isikhathi sokuqonda izimakethe ezishintshayo esibhekene nazo, futhi bazimisele ukuzivumelanisa nezidingo ezintsha, umbono wesikhathi esiphakathi kuya esikhathini eside uhlala ulungile,” kugcizelela uTroughton.

“Ngaphandle kwezinselelo ezikhona manje kanye nokungaqiniseki okusikhathaza sonke, kuzoba nezikhathi ezingcono phambili futhi imakethe yezokuvakasha ekugcineni izovela iqine futhi ikwazi ukumelana nezimo. Njengoba ohulumeni behlehlisa kancane kancane imikhawulo yezokuvakasha futhi bezilungiselela ukuvula kabusha umphakathi, labo abawinile ikusasa yilabo abakha ikusasa ngokuya ngendlela enamandla yokunciphisa ubungozi futhi bakhombise ukuguquguquka nezinto ezintsha, ”kuphetha yena.
