UMBUSO WEZIMBONI

I-Global Perspective

Somlomo, icala lokuqala elibikiwe ngegciwane le-COVID-19 lalisekuqaleni kukaZibandlela wezi-2019. Kusukela lapho libe nomthelela omubi kwezomnotho emhlabeni wonke - njengoba ezokuvakasha nezokuvakasha ziphakathi kwezimboni ezishayeke kakhulu. Somlomo, akungabazeki ukuthi kube yinhlekelele embi kakhulu yezomnotho nezenhlalakahle empilweni yethu. Ohulumeni emhlabeni wonke babhekane nokukhetha okunzima kokuthi bangalinganisa kanjani indlela yokuziphilisa kanye nezimpilo, okwakudinga isinyathelo esingakaze sibonwe kanye nokusebenzisana komhlaba wonke.

Ngokwezibalo zeWorld Travel & Tourism Council esanda kukhishwa (WTTC) Umbiko Womthelela Wezomnotho wango-2020 (EIR):

Umbono Wesifunda

Isifunda saseCaribbean siphinde sathinteka kakhulu wubhubhane lwe-COVID-19 ngo-2020, ikakhulukazi ngoba ngokwezibalo singesinye sezifunda ezincike kakhulu kwezokuvakasha emhlabeni.

Idatha etholwe ku-Caribbean Tourism Organisation (CTO) ikhombisa ukuthi abavakashi abafika esifundeni ngo-2020 behle bafinyelela ezigidini eziyi-11. Somlomo, lokhu kuwukwehla ngamaphesenti angama-65.5 uma kuqhathaniswa nerekhodi lenani lezivakashi elifika ezigidini ezingama-32 ngonyaka odlule.

Somlomo, ngonyaka odlule ukuhlala kwamahhotela kuzo zonke izindawo zase-Caribbean kwaba phakathi kwamaphesenti ayi-10 kuya kwangama-30. Ngeshwa, amahhotela amaningi nezindawo eziheha izivakashi zisengcupheni yokungena ezikweletini nasekutholeni usizo.

Nokho, okuthakazelisa ngokukhethekile ukuthi naphezu kokuncipha okusobala, abafikayo basabonakala bengcono kunesilinganiso somhlaba sokwehla ngamaphesenti angu-73.9, phakathi nenkathi efanayo. Futhi, lapho imingcele esifundeni iqala ukuvulwa kabusha ngoJuni, isilinganiso sobude bokuhlala ngo-2020 salingana nalokhu esiqoshwe ngo-2019 - izinsuku eziyisikhombisa.

I-CTO ibikezela ukuthi kulo nyaka i-Caribbean izoqhubeka nokwakha phambili ngamandla, ibikezela ukunyuka kwamaphesenti angu-20 kwabafikayo, ngokunyuka okufanayo kwezindleko zezivakashi, uma kuqhathaniswa no-2020. Nokho, ukuzethemba kwezokuvakasha kwamanye amazwe kungase kungakhuli kakhulu kuze kube kuleli hlobo.

Somlomo, izibalo zangaphambi kwe-COVID-19 zingafinyelelwa uma sisebenza ngokubambisana ukuze sinqande leli gciwane futhi sithathe isinyathelo esihlangene sokumaketha izindawo esiya kuzo njengeziphephile, ezingenazihibe futhi ezivikelekile.
