Ukhuluma kahle isiNgisi nesi-Arabhu futhi indlela yakhe ecacile yokukhuluma yenza umehluko kwabanye abantu base-Indonesia, kunokuba namahloni lapho kufanele bakhulume esidlangalaleni. U-Muhammad Zainul Majdi unguMbusi wamanje waseNtshonalanga Nusa Tenggara futhi ungowalesi sizukulwane esisha sosopolitiki base-Indonesia abaqala ukunikeza umfutho omusha eqoqweni leziqhingi elikhulu kunawo wonke emhlabeni. Enye yezinhloso zikaMajdi ukwenza iLombok ibe indawo enkulu yezokuvakasha, elingisa iBali, umakhelwane wayo waseNtshonalanga eqhele ngemizuzu engama-90 ngesikebhe esinesivinini esikhulu. I-Lombok kuze kube manje ivikelekile ekuthuthukisweni okukhulu kwezokuvakasha.
Kodwa isiqhingi esibusa amaSulumane sinezifiso ezinkulu kakhulu futhi sinomuzwa wokuthi sinempahla eminingi. "Sithanda ukusho ukuthi ungabona i-Bali e-Lombok kodwa awukwazi ukubona i-Lombok e-Bali", ithanda ukusho uMbusi, ebhekisela ezinhlobonhlobo zamasiko esiqhingini lapho abantu bendawo baseSasak behlala khona kusukela ekuqaleni kweminyaka yobudala nemiphakathi yaseBalinese. I-Lombok ngempela ingxubevange yesiko elithokozisayo lapho izigodi zendabuko zaseSasak zibhekene namathempeli aseBalinese nalapho amanye amaSulumane endawo ethandaza ngokunganaki kuma-mosque noma emathempelini…
Ukuvela kwe-Lombok njengendawo yezokuvakasha kuzogqugquzelwa inhlangano “Yokuvakasha Unyaka Lombok-Sumbawa”- ozofika ngo-2012. Iphromoshini isanda kuqala ngokusingathwa kwe-TIME-Pasar Wisata, umbukiso wokuvakasha ongenayo wase-Indonesia, ngo-Okthoba odlule. Kungokokuqala ngqa ukuthi i-Lombok isingathe umcimbi wamazwe ngamazwe kusukela kulo bukhulu futhi sijabule kakhulu ngomphumela wombukiso njengoba izithunywa zibonakala zijabule kakhulu ngalokhu kukhetha. Siyazi ukuthi siyawenza amaphutha kodwa sizofunda ngohlelo olulandelayo lwePasar Wisata ngo-2010,” kusho uMajdi. Ngokusingatha umbukiso, uhulumeni wesifundazwe unikeze u-INR 5 billion, okulingana no-US$ 532,000.
Inhloso wukuthuthukisa kule minyaka emihlanu ezayo inani labantu abafikayo lisuka ku-250,000 liye ku-450,000 labahambi bangaphandle. Ngabahambi basekhaya, i-NTB inethemba lokuthi ngaleso sikhathi izokwazi ukwamukela izivakashi eziyizigidi eziyi-1.3 ngonyaka. Lokhu kuzoba kude kakhulu nabavakashi abafika e-Bali (ngaphezu kwezigidi ezintathu ngonyaka okwamanje kubavakashi basekhaya nabakwamanye amazwe) kodwa kusasho ukukhula okungaphezu kwama-20% ngonyaka kule minyaka eyishumi ezayo. Ukukhangisa okwengeziwe, ukubamba iqhaza emibukisweni yezokuvakasha yamazwe ngamazwe njenge-ITB manje sekuhlelwe ngokuqinile.
Amaphrojekthi amakhulu kufanele aqinise abafika e-Lombok eminyakeni ezayo: ukuthuthukiswa kwendawo yokuphumula ehlanganiswe ngokugcwele eNingizimu ye-Lombok nokuvulwa kwesikhumulo sezindiza esisha e-Central Lombok, imizuzu engu-45 ukusuka enhloko-dolobha iMataram. Iphrojekthi yokuqala yamenyezelwa eminyakeni emibili edlule lapho abatshalizimali abazinze eDubai i-Emaar Properties bememezela ukutshala imali eyizigidi ezingama-US$600 ukuze batshale emahhotela ezinkanyezi ezinhlanu nezine, inxanxathela yezitolo, izindawo zokungcebeleka, izinkundla zegalofu endaweni engamahektha ayi-1,200. Iphrojekthi yokugcina kuhloswe ngayo ukusingatha izindlu zikanokusho eziyi-10,000, amahhotela ayisishiyagalombili nezinkundla zegalofu ezimbili ezinemigodi engu-18 kodwa ibhekane nokubambezeleka okuningi ngenxa yenkinga yezimali, izinkinga zenkohlakalo kanye nokuntuleka kokuthuthukiswa kwengqalasizinda. Ucwaningo lwephrojekthi lunwetshwe ngezinyanga eziyisithupha kuze kube sekupheleni konyaka.
Intuthuko isithuthuke kakhulu esikhumulweni sezindiza. Ngokusho kwenkampani ephethe lesi sikhumulo i-Angkasa Pura, isikhumulo sezindiza esisha i-Lombok International kufanele siqedwe ngekota yokuqala ka-2010 kodwa kubukeka sengathi lesi sikhungo sizovulwa ngasekupheleni konyaka njengoba umsebenzi usaqhubeka. Uma isigaba sokuqala sesiqediwe, isikhumulo sezindiza esisha sizonikeza amandla abagibeli abayizigidi ezimbili kanti umzila waso ongu-2,750 m uzokwazi ukuthatha izindiza ezinkulu njenge-Airbus A330. “Sizobe sesikhomba izimakethe ezintsha njenge-Australia noma iHong Kong. Ukuthuthukisa ukufinyelela kubalulekile ngekusasa lethu” kulandisa uLalu Gita Ariadi, iNhloko yehhovisi lezokuvakasha eWest Nusa Tenggara. Enye iphrojekthi ebalulekile ukwakhiwa kwesikhungo esifanelekile somhlangano lapho abatshalizimali baseSingapore sebebonise isithakazelo.
Iziphathimandla zendawo zihlala zinethemba ngekusasa lesiqhingi njengendawo okuyiwa kuyo. “I-Lombok izuza udumo ngokuya kubahambi bangaphandle. Sisenezinkinga zokuthola izinsiza zabantu ezihambisana nokulindelwe yizivakashi zamazwe ngamazwe. Kodwa indawo enkulu yesikhathi esizayo yokungcebeleka eNingizimu izofaka isandla ekuthuthukiseni izinga labasebenzi,” kulinganisela u-Awan Aswinabawa, uSihlalo weTravel Expo Pasar Wisata.
