Izintela zamahhotela zizokhokhela amaphoyisa amasha ezokuvakasha e-Miami-Dade County ngaphansi kwesiphakamiso esicunule amaqembu amahhotela futhi okungase kube nezomthetho eziqhudelana ne-baseball ngamadola.
Okhomishana baseMiami-Dade bafuna ukwakha umbutho wamaphoyisa omusha ozogada izindawo ezivakashelwayo ezidumile, esebenzisa intela yamahhotela ukuxhasa iqembu elikhethekile.
Amaqembu amakhulu abahwebi bamahhotela kulesi sifunda alwa nalolu hlelo, oluthole ukugunyazwa ngazwi linye ngamakhomishana emhlanganweni wawo wamasonto onke. Umthetho wezwe ukhawulela izindawo eziningi zokuthi zingasebenzisa izintela zamahhotela kunoma yini ngaphandle kokukhuthazwa kwezokuvakasha kanye nokuxhasa izindawo zomphakathi ezifana namamnyuziyamu nezinkundla zemidlalo.
Akuqondakali ukuthi uphiko lwamaphoyisa luzosebenza kanjani nokuthi luzobiza malini. Isinqumo esixhaswe uKhomishana u-Javier Souto sichaze ibutho eliqapha i-Miami International Airport, itheku lesifunda, i-zoo namabhishi, kanye nezitolo ezinkulu, izindawo eziheha izivakashi kanye nemicimbi emikhulu njengemibukiso nemicimbi yezemidlalo.
Ngokusebenzisa izintela zamahhotela ukukhokhela umsebenzi wamaphoyisa endaweni enkulu yesifunda, i-Miami-Dade ingakhulula amadola entela ajwayelekile kwezinye izinsiza zesifunda phakathi kwesabelomali. Izintela zamahhotela ezizosetshenziswa ohlelweni zenza cishe izigidi ezingu-68 zamaRandi ngonyaka odlule.
Lesi siphakamiso siza ezinsukwini ngaphambi kokuthi kube nokuvota okuhleliwe ohlelweni lokusebenzisa imali elinganiselwa ku-$1.8 billion entela yehhotela eminyakeni engu-40 endaweni ehlongozwayo yaseFlorida Marlins e-Little Havana. Abasekeli balolu hlelo, olugqugquzelwa yiMeya yesifunda uCarlos Alvarez, bakhombe imithetho yentela yasehhotela yaseFlorida njengesizathu sokwakha indawo yokudlala njengoba isifunda sinezinketho ezilinganiselwe zokuthi imali engenayo isetshenziswa kanjani.
UMBONO KA-ALVAREZ
"Lawo madola ngeke asetshenziselwe izindlu ezithengekayo, imfundo noma ezinye izinsiza zikahulumeni," kubhala u-Alvarez encwadini yomphakathi kaJanuwari. “Sinayo imali . . Asiwuhlohle ngaphansi komatilasi.”
Umkhulumeli wesifazane uthe u-Alvarez ngeke aphikisane nesinqumo samaphoyisa ezokuvakasha futhi umi engxoxweni yakhe yenkundla.
"Akukho okushintshile ngokushiwo yimeya," kusho okhulumela uMnyango uVictoria Mallette. “Amadola entela yezivakashi anokusetshenziswa okulinganiselwe. Sonke siyayazi impi ekhuphukayo ebandakanyeka ekuguquleni imithetho yaseTallahassee. ”
Ihhovisi likaSouto alizange liphendule izicelo zenhlolokhono. URobert Skrob, umqondisi weqembu lesifunda lezikhungo zezokuvakasha zendawo, uthe ubengazi ngebutho lamaphoyisa elifanayo eFlorida.
I-Miami Beach isivele isebenzisa izintela zamahhotela ezindlekweni zamaphoyisa eziboshelwe embonini yayo yezokuvakasha esakhulayo, isebenzisa umthetho obanzi wentela yamahhotela owabhalwa eminyakeni engama-31 edlule ikakhulukazi emadolobheni asogwini eMiami-Dade.
UKUKHULULA INTELA YEHOTELA
Ukwesekwa kwekhomishana “kophiko lwamaphoyisa abavakashi abakhethekile” kubeka i-Miami-Dade onqenqemeni oluphambili lomkhankaso osekunesikhathi eside ukhona wokuxegisa imikhawulo yentela yamahhotela.
Umthethosivivinywa obungavumela intela yehhotela ukuthi isetshenziswe ezindlini ezingabizi kakhulu e-Keys ushone ekomitini lesishayamthetho eTallahassee kuleli sonto, futhi imboni yezokuvakasha ilwe ngempumelelo neminye imizamo yokubhala kabusha eminyakeni edlule.
Kepha njengoba iFlorida ibhekene negebe lesabelomali esingamaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane eziyisithupha kanye nohulumeni basekhaya nabo baphoqeleka ukuthi banciphise ukusetshenziswa kwemali futhi bakhuphule imali engenayo, abagqugquzeli bemboni yezokuvakasha balungiselela izimpi ezengeziwe zokulondoloza izigidi zamadola entela asetshenziselwa ukukhuthaza uhambo.
Isinqumo se-Miami-Dade siyala umgqugquzeli wesifunda ukuthi acindezele ukuthi umthetho uguqulwe lesi sikhathi. Abaholi beqembu lasendaweni labahwebi bamahhotela kanye nozakwabo wezwe lonke bahlela isithangami sabezindaba ngoLwesine ukuze bagxeke uhlelo lukaMiami-Dade.
”Kwezomnotho lapho ezokuvakasha zifa khona . . . manje othile ufuna ukungena enteleni esetshenziselwa ukuthuthukisa amabhizinisi engeziwe?” kusho uStuart Blumberg, umongameli we-Greater Miami & the Beaches Hotel Association, exhaswa ngokwengxenye ngezintela zamahhotela.
UWilliam Talbert III, umongameli wehhovisi lezokuvakasha eMiami-Dade, uthe iqembu lakhe nalo lizolwa nesiphakamiso sesifunda. I-Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau yathola cishe izigidi ezingu-9 zamaRandi ezintela zamahhotela ngo-2008 kodwa yehlisa isabelomali sayo lapho ibhekene nokwehla kwamaqoqo ngamaphesenti angu-9 kulo nyaka.
ISIKHATHI ESIBI
"Isikhathi ngeke sibe sibi kakhulu njengamanje," kusho uTalbert. "Amadola okukhangisa ashodayo ayehla."
Yize lesi sinqumo siphasiswe ngazwi linye, uKhomishana uJose ”Pepe” Diaz uthe izingcingo ezivela eBlumberg nabanye abasembonini yezokuvakasha zimenze waphinde wabhekisisa ivoti lakhe.
"Ukuthatha imali kwezokuvakasha uma leyo mali idingeka ekukhangiseni - kudala inkinga," esho. "Yinto okuzodingeka siyivakashele kabusha."
LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:
- Umthethosivivinywa obungavumela intela yehhotela ukuthi isetshenziswe ezindlini ezingabizi kakhulu e-Keys ushone ekomitini lesishayamthetho eTallahassee kuleli sonto, futhi imboni yezokuvakasha ilwe ngempumelelo neminye imizamo yokubhala kabusha eminyakeni edlule.
