ECancún, eMexico - Ikhefu lasentwasahlobo eMexico belilokhu libangela ukudideka phakathi kwabazali. Izikebhe zokuphuza utshwala namaphathi obusuku bonke olwandle yizinto ezikhathazayo ezijwayelekile.
Kodwa kulo nyaka, izikhulu zenyuvesi zihlanganyele nabazali ekuxwayiseni abafundi ukuba bacabangele ezinye izindlela ngenxa yobudlova obuhlobene nezidakamizwa osebudlondlobele. Ezinye izinhlangano zezokuvakasha zikhansele uhambo, ikakhulukazi ngasemngceleni lapho iningi lokuchitheka kwegazi ligcwele khona.
NgoFebhuwari, uMnyango Wezwe LaseMelika ukhiphe isexwayiso sokuhamba, uxwayisa “ngezicishamlilo ezinkulu” kulo lonke elaseMexico kanye nokungqubuzana nezinqola ezifana “nempi yamayunithi amancane.”
Kodwa lokho akubavimbanga abafundi abaningi. Bayalwazi usongo, kodwa abakulungele ukuyeka ilanga nesihlabathi.
“Ngicabanga ukuthi kubaluleke kakhulu ukuqaphela okwenzeka lapha,” kusho uClara Spas, isikhulu kwezokuphathwa kwebhizinisi eBuffalo State College, oseCancún kuleli sonto nabafundi abafunda nabo abangu-24. Uthi wafunda amamephu ukuze afunde ibanga eliphakathi kweCancún nezindawo ezinezinkinga kakhulu eMexico ngaphambi kokuthatha uhambo. Lokhu wakwenza ikakhulukazi ukuze ashweleze unina - kanye nesikole sakhe - owamnxusa ukuthi ashintshe izinhlelo zakhe. "Ngizizwa ngiphephe ngokuphelele, nakuba ngizwa sengathi ngazi okuningi okwenzeka lapha."
Zimbalwa izindawo eziqanjwe njengenganekwane yekhefu lasentwasahlobo njengeCancún, enamanzi ayo ase-Caribbean azure kanye nezaphulelo ezidonsa abafundi unyaka ngamunye kusukela ngoFebhuwari kuya ku-Ephreli. Isigameko kulo nyaka asihlukile neminyaka edlule, namabhanela amakhulu amukela abafundi, nemigwaqo egcwele abantu baseMelika abagqoke-flop.
Nokho kulo nyaka amakolishi amaningi azizwe enesibopho sokufundisa abafundi ngobuphansi babo bonke ubumnandi. I-California Polytechnic State University eSan Luis Obispo, ngokwesibonelo, ithumele isexwayiso enhlanganweni yayo yabafundi ngoMsombuluko odlule, ngaphambi kweholide labo lasentwasahlobo. “Siyaqonda ukuthi idlanzana labafundi bethu liya eMexico unyaka nonyaka ngekhefu lasentwasahlobo. Kulo nyaka, ukwanda kodlame kukhungethe isifunda,” kuxwayisa abafundi ukuthi bashiye uhlelo lwabo olugcwele emakhaya nemindeni kubangani.
Leso sexwayiso sicacise izindawo zezinkinga, ikakhulukazi eduze komngcele kanye namakhulu amamayela ukusuka emaphathini e-techno ne-volleyball yasebhishi. Izikhungo zokuvakasha kanye nezikhulu zezokuvakasha zaseMexico zizama ukuphinda lowo mehluko. “Siyaqonda ukuthi ubudlova buyenzeka, kodwa ezinye [izindawo] ziqhele ngamakhilomitha angu-2,000 XNUMX, futhi uma abafundi besebenzisa amacebiso okuphepha anengqondo, kungaba okuhlangenwe nakho okujabulisayo,” kusho uPatrick Evans, we-STA Travel, enye yezikhungo ezihamba phambili zabafundi emhlabeni wonke. . Uthi abakakhanseli lutho kulo nyaka kunangaphambili.
Nokho, i-STA Travel ikhansele uhambo lwebhasi elase liwela umngcele waseTexas laqonda phansi ogwini lwasePacific liya edolobheni laseMazatlán.
Ezinye izikole zinxuse abafundi ukuthi bangahambi ngokuphelele. “Wonke umfundi kufanele azi ukuthi iMexico iyonke ibone ukwanda okukhulu kodlame muva nje,” kufunda isitatimende seNyuvesi yase-Arizona esakhishwa ngoFebhuwari. "Ngenxa yalezi zimo, i-University of Arizona Dean of Students Office yeluleka kakhulu abafundi ukuthi bagweme ukuya eMexico ngalesi sikhathi nangesikhathi sekhefu lasentwasahlobo."
“Kuyaqala ngqa ukutusa abafundi ukuthi bangayi lapho,” kusho uJohnny Cruz, okhulumela inyuvesi.
USamantha Fallon, umfundi wesibili eNyuvesi yase-Arizona, ubhaliswe nenkampani yezokuvakasha ukuze ayokanisa esiqhingini esisoLwandle lwaseCortez. Kodwa uthi, ngenxa yengcindezi yesikole, lolu hambo lwahoxiswa. “Ngadumala. Ngangingafuni ukuthi impi yezidakamizwa noma ubudlova bungivimbele ekubeni nohambo lokuphila kwami konke. Sasihamba nge-kayaking olwandle, i-cliff jumping, futhi sibhukuda namahlengethwa.” Kunalokho, wathatha uhambo olunqamula eCalifornia nabanye abangani bakhe. "Sibone inqwaba yabangani be-U of A benza into efanayo."
Yize iningi lodlame lwenzekile kwezinye izindawo, izindawo zokungcebeleka zasolwandle azihlukanisiwe ngokuphelele nazo. Eminyakeni yamuva nje, i-Acapulco ibone ukunqunyulwa kwekhanda nokulwa kwezibhamu emini libalele. E-Cancún, ujenene webutho osewathatha umhlalaphansi owathunyelwa ukuyoqeda inkohlakalo emaphoyiseni okuthiwa angenwa abashushumbisi bezidakamizwa muva nje wahlushwa futhi wadutshulwa waze wafa.
Izikhulu zezokuvakasha zizama ukuzilwela. I-Cancún Hotel Association yethule umkhankaso kule nyanga, okuhlanganisa nevidiyo ye-YouTube yezivakashi zaseMelika ezijabulela indawo. “Besingafuni ukuthi sinitshele maMelika ukuthi kuhle kangakanani, besifuna nitshelane,” kusho uRodrigo de la Pena, umongameli weCancún Hotel Association.
Ezokuvakasha zikhule ngonyaka owedlule eMexico, zibhebhethekisa imboni yamaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-13 ngonyaka ebaluleke kakhulu emnothweni, kodwa izibalo zehle kancane. I-Cancún ilindele amakhefu entwasahlobo angu-22,000 kulo nyaka, phansi kusukela ku-26,000 ngonyaka odlule. Amanani okuhlala ehle phakathi no-March ngamaphesenti angu-79.2 kulo nyaka, uma kuqhathaniswa namaphesenti angu-84.6 ngesikhathi esifanayo ngonyaka odlule, kusho uMnu de la Pena. Usola isimo somnotho e-US, hhayi odlameni.
Abaningi abaphula intwasahlobo, kusukela eWashington State kuya eWales, bathi bayaqonda ukuthi udlame oluningi lwenzeka phakathi kwabashushumbisi bezidakamizwa. Noma kunjalo, uHeidi Frawley, osanda kufunda e-Mt. Hood Community College e-Oregon, uthi usenqume ukuhlala emadolobheni amakhulu, njengeCancún, esikhundleni sokuhlola amadolobhana amancane. Unezela ngokuthi into embi kakhulu kuyena kuze kube manje yinkohlakalo yamaphoyisa kanye nokufunjathiswa.
