Ngizwakalisa ukubonga kwami ​​kongqongqoshe engikanye nabo, abasebenzi babo, nezinhlaka zikahulumeni; ikakhulukazi labo umsebenzi wabo unomthelela oqondile embonini yezokuvakasha. Noma sibona izinto ngemibono eyahlukene, sonke sisebenza ndawonye ngokuzuzisa iJamaica.

Kufanele ngibonge uSenator Janice Allen, Umkhulumeli Weqembu Eliphikisayo Kwezokuvakasha, ngeqhaza lakhe ekuthuthukisweni komkhiqizo wezokuvakasha. Ukusebenzisana kanye nokwabelana ngemibono kuyindlela engcono kakhulu eya phambili njengoba siqhubeka nokuguqula lo mkhakha ukuze wenze ngcono izimpilo zezakhamuzi zethu.

Ngifisa futhi ukubonga ozakwethu nababambiqhaza ngeqhaza labo ekubuyiseleni umkhakha wethu wezokuvakasha onenzuzo enkulu nobalulekile. Ngifuna ikakhulukazi ukubonga uMongameli we-Jamaica Hotel and Tourist Association (JHTA), uMnu. Clifton Reader, kanye nesikhulu sakhe, ngokubambisana nokwesekwa abakunikezile onyakeni odlule.

Kubantu base-East-Central St. James abanginike ilungelo lokuba lapha, ngikwazisa kakhulu ukuzethemba kwenu, uthando, nokusekela kwenu kuyo yonke le minyaka. Ngiyathembisa ukuqhubeka nokukusebenzela ngobuqotho nokuzinikela.

Umsebenzi oncomekayo esikwazile ukuwenza kulo nyaka wezimali ubungeke uphumelele ngaphandle kosizo lwabasebenzi bami kuwo wonke amazinga kuso sonke isifunda, futhi ngikushayela ihlombe umfutho nokuzinikela kwabo.

Esifundeni sami, sanikezela ngokusemthethweni isikhungo sezempilo somphakathi esesilungisiwe eDolobheni lase-Barrett ngoFebhuwari, manje esesisebenzela izakhamuzi eziyizi-9,000 emphakathini nasezindaweni ezizungezile zase-St. Iphrojekthi yokuthuthukisa engu-$43.8 million yenziwa ngosizo lozakwethu e-Jamaica Social Investment Fund (JSIF) nangaphansi kwe-European Union (EU) exhaswa ngezimali Uhlelo Lokunciphisa Ubumpofu (PRP).

Esifundeni sami imfundo nayo iseqhulwini. Ngonyaka odlule nengxenye, isikhwama sokufunda kulesi sifunda sinikeze izigidi eziyishumi nanhlanu zamarandi kubafundi abafanelekile kule ndawo. Kulo nyaka, sinikeze imali engaphezu kuka-$15 wezigidi zezibonelelo kubafundi abangu-2 basesekondari nabasenyuvesi ngesikhathi somcimbi wokuklomelisa umfundaze we-East Central St. James Education Trust.

Ukwengeza, amakhompyutha angaphezu kuka-160 anikezwe izikole zamabanga aphansi nesekondari eziyi-13 e-St. James ngonyaka odlule, okuvumela izingane ukuthi zibambe iqhaza ekufundeni ku-inthanethi. Amathebulethi angu-138 namakhompyutha angu-25 anikelwe yi-Atlanta-Montego Bay Sister Cities Committee kanye ne-Victoria House Foundation, ngokubambisana ne-Adelphi Community Development Council.

UKWAMUKELA UKWENZA 

Somlomo, isethulo sami namuhla sizokwenziwa izingxenye ezimbili. Okokuqala, ngizogxila esimweni semboni, bese ngingena kuzinqubomgomo, izinhlelo, kanye nemisebenzi eyenziwayo ukuze kuqhutshekwe nokululama ngamandla nangokuqhubekayo kubhubhane lwe-COVID-19. 

UMBUSO WEZIMBONI

I-Global Perspective

Somlomo, ngiyajabula ukuveza ukuthi imboni yezokuvakasha emhlabeni jikelele ibibika izibalo ezikhomba ukuthi sisendleleni yokululama emthelela walolu bhubhane, nokungangabazeki ukuthi bekungenye yezimo ezimbi kakhulu kwezomnotho nezenhlalo empilweni yethu. Ohulumeni emhlabeni wonke babhekane nokukhetha okunzima kokuthi bangalinganisa kanjani indlela yokuziphilisa kanye nezimpilo, okwakudinga isinyathelo esingakaze sibonwe kanye nokusebenzisana komhlaba wonke.

Ngokusho kwe-United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO), ezokuvakasha emhlabeni wonke zibe nokukhuphuka okungamaphesenti angu-4 ngo-2021, uma kuqhathaniswa no-2020 (izigidi ezingu-415 ziqhathaniswa nezigidi ezingu-400). Kodwa-ke, abavakashi bamazwe ngamazwe abafikayo (izivakashi ezilale ubusuku bonke) bebesengamaphesenti angama-72 ngaphansi konyaka owandulela ubhubhane ka-2019, ngokusho kwedatha yokuqala. 

Eqinisweni, izibalo zeWorld Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) Umbiko Womthelela Wezomnotho Ka-2021 ubonisa ukuthi ngo-2020, kwalahleka imisebenzi eyizigidi ezingu-62, okushiya nje izigidi ezingu-272 ziqashwe kuwo wonke umkhakha emhlabeni jikelele. Lokhu kwehla ngamaphesenti angu-18.5 kuzwakale kulo lonke uhlelo lwezokuvakasha nelokuvakasha, lapho amabhizinisi amancane naphakathi nendawo (SMEs), akha amaphesenti angama-80 awo wonke amabhizinisi omhlaba kulo mkhakha, athinteke kakhulu. Kodwa-ke, ucwaningo lubonisa ukuthi uma ukuhamba kwamanye amazwe nokuhamba kuqalwa kabusha ngoJuni kulo nyaka, imisebenzi eyizigidi ezingama-62 elahlekile ngo-2020 ingabuya ngaphambi kokuphela kuka-2022: ngakho-ke, ukunika amandla ukusimama komnotho womhlaba.

Umkhiqizo wasekhaya oqondile wezokuvakasha emhlabeni jikelele ukhuphuke ngamaphesenti ayi-19 ngo-2021 wafinyelela ku-US $ 1.9 trillion, ngokusho kwe UNWTO, njengoba isivakashi ngasinye sachitha isikhathi esiningi futhi sahlala isikhathi eside kunango-2020. Nokho, ezokuvakasha nezokuvakasha zingangenisa u-$8.6 trillion emhlabeni jikelele kulo nyaka, ngokocwaningo olusha olwenziwe yi- WTTC, okungamaphesenti angu-6.4 ngaphansi kwamazinga angaphambi kobhubhane.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, inhlangano yezokuvakasha emhlabeni wonke ithe uma ukugoma nokusatshalaliswa kwe-booster emhlabeni jikelele kuqhubeka ngesivinini esikhona njengamanje kanye nemikhawulo yokuhamba kwamanye amazwe ixegiselwa unyaka wonke, lo mkhakha ungadala amathuba emisebenzi eyizigidi ezingama-58 ngo-2022, okulethe inani lawo ngaphezulu kwezigidi ezingama-330. . Okusho ukuthi, iphesenti elilodwa nje ngaphansi kwamazinga angaphambi kobhubhane kanye namaphesenti angama-21.5 aphezulu kunango-2020.

Njengoba siqhubeka nokuqapha i-COVID-19 nezinhlobonhlobo zayo, siphinde siqaphe ukungqubuzana phakathi kwe-Ukraine neRussia kanye nomthelela wayo okungenzeka embonini yethu yezokuvakasha, njengoba inamandla okuba nomthelela ekuqageleni kwethu kwezokuvakasha nezokuvakasha.

Somlomo, ngifuna ukukucacisa ukuthi asiwuboni umthelela oqondile embonini njengamanje. Kodwa-ke, siyayivuma imiphumela yempi engase ifinyelele kude ezindaweni ezibalulekile, njengamaketanga okuhlinzeka, izindleko zikaphethiloli, ukufinyelela endaweni yezindiza, nokunyakaza okuvamile, okuyizinto zonke ezithinta imikhakha yezokuvakasha neyokuvakasha.

Noma kunjalo, umkhakha wethu ungase uzuze njengoba imikhumbi emikhulu eminingana evame ukushaya izingcingo endaweni yase-Balkan nakwezinye izindawo ezizungeze i-Eastern Europe manje isihlelwa kabusha e-Caribbean. Ukwengeza, izivakashi ezivela ezimakethe zethu ezibalulekile e-Canada nase-United States of America zingase zicabange kabusha ukuya e-Europe ngalesi sikhathi futhi zibheke e-Caribbean kanye, nokwengeza, ne-Jamaica.

Umbono Wesifunda

Somlomo, ucwaningo lukhombisa ukuthi engxenyeni yokuqala ka-2021, iCaribbean ibe nokusebenza okuhle kakhulu kunanoma yisiphi isifunda emhlabeni. Ngokusho kwe-Caribbean Tourism Organisation (CTO), abavakashi bamazwe ngamazwe abafika eCaribbean ngalesi sikhathi babe yizigidi ezingu-6.6, ukwehla ngamaphesenti angu-12 uma kuqhathaniswa nesikhathi esifanayo ngo-2020.

Somlomo, abafike ezigidini ezi-5.2 ekupheleni kukaMeyi, behle ngamaphesenti angama-30.8 ukusuka ngesikhathi esifanayo ngo-2020, kodwa bengcono kakhulu kune-avareji yomhlaba wonke yokwehla ngamaphesenti angama-65.1. Izwe laseMelika, elihlanganisa neCaribbean, laba nokuncipha ngamaphesenti angu-46.9 kwabafikayo; ngaphandle kwalokho, asikho esinye isifunda esibone ukwehla okungaphezu kwamaphesenti angama-63 ezivakashini.

Ukwenyuka kwezivakashi kwikota yesibili kuthuthukise izilinganiso zengxenye yokuqala yonyaka, ngohambo lwabavakashi ebusuku oluya e-Caribbean lweqa phakathi kwezikhathi eziyi-10 nezingu-37 uma kuqhathaniswa nezinyanga ezifanayo ngo-2020, ngokusho kwe-CTO. Ngokwezibalo eziphelele, kube nokuthuthuka okuqhubekayo kusukela esigidini esisodwa ngo-Ephreli kuya ku-1.2 million ngoMeyi kuya ku-1.5 million ngoJuni.

Somlomo, esinye sezizathu zekota yesibili enhle ukwenyuka kwezivakashi eziphuma emakethe enkulu yalesi sifunda, eMelika, lapho ukuvakashelwa kwezivakashi kukhuphuke ngamaphesenti angama-21.7 kwafinyelela ezigidini ezi-4.3 engxenyeni yokuqala yonyaka. Ezinye izinto ezibe nomthelela ekwandeni kwezindiza ezindizeni zibandakanya ukuxegiswa kwemikhawulo eyahlukene yokuhamba.

I-CTO ikhombisa ukuthi kube nezivakashi ezifika ezigidini ezi-5.4 esifundeni ngekota yesithathu ka-2021. Lokhu bekucishe kuphindwe kathathu kunalabo abafika ngesikhathi esifanayo ngo-2020 kodwa kusengamaphesenti angama-23.3 ngaphansi kwamazinga ka-2019.

Somlomo, nakuba umnotho womhlaba kulindeleke ukuthi ukhuphuke ngamaphesenti angama-30.7 unyaka nonyaka kusukela kwezokuvakasha nezokuvakasha ngo-2021, okumele ama-US$1.4 trillion futhi okugqugquzelwa kakhulu ukusetshenziswa kwemali yangaphakathi, isifunda saseCaribbean kulindeleke ukuthi sibe namaphesenti angama-47.3 ngonyaka. ukwanda konyaka. Lokhu kumelela cishe amaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane eziyi-12, eqhutshwa yizindleko zokuhamba zamazwe ngamazwe nezasekhaya, ngaphambi kokuphela kuka-2022, ngokusho kombiko. WTTC.

Somlomo, uma sigcina umgomo wethu wokugoma, sisebenzisana ukuze sinqande leli gciwane, futhi sisebenzisa indlela ehlelekile yokumaketha izindawo esiya kuzo njengeziphephile, ezingenazihibe, futhi ezivikelekile, singafinyelela ukuphindeka kwangempela emazingeni angaphambi kwe-COVID-19.

Umbono Wendawo

Somlomo, njengezomnotho wezokuvakasha emhlabeni jikelele, ubhubhane kanye nezindlela zokuvikela ezihlobene nakho kuyithinte kakhulu iJamaica, okuholele ekulahlekeni okumangalisayo kwemisebenzi, amabhizinisi kanye namaholo kwezokuvakasha. 

Ngo-2020, umnotho waseJamaica wehla ngamaphesenti ayi-10.2 kwathi imboni yamahhotela nezindawo zokudlela yehla ngamaphesenti angama-53.5. Ezokuvakasha ziqede unyaka ngelahleko elinganiselwa ku-US$2.3 billion. Ngo-2021, yize ukwehla bekungekubi kangako, ukulahleka okulinganiselwe kwezokuvakasha bekuyi-US $ 1.6 billion.

Izindaba ezinhle, Somlomo, ukuthi njengeminye iminotho yezokuvakasha emhlabeni wonke, umkhakha wethu wezokuvakasha ukhombise ukusimama kusenesikhathi kanye nekhono lokubuyela emuva ngokushesha ngokukhula okuqhubekayo kwezivakashi ezifikayo.

Ngempela, Somlomo, u-2021 ukhombise isithembiso esibalulekile njengoba siqala ukululama emthelela wobhubhane. Ukuvakashela e-Stopover e-Jamaica kukhuphuke ngamaphesenti angama-39.5 ezinyangeni eziyisishiyagalolunye zokuqala zonyaka. Isibalo sokufika kokuma sikhuphuke safinyelela ku-970,435, sisuka ku-695,721 ngesikhathi esifanayo ngo-2020. Kodwa-ke, bekusengaphansi ngamaphesenti angama-52 kunamazinga angaphambi kwe-COVID-19, lapho kuqoshwa abafika abayizi-2,020,508 ezinyangeni eziyisishiyagalolunye zokuqala zika-2019.

Somlomo, u-2021 uphele ngokukhombisa okunamandla kwezivakashi ezingaphezudlwana kwezigidi eziyi-1.5 kanye nenzuzo yamaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezimbili. Mayelana nokuhamba ngomkhumbi, phakathi kuka-Agasti 2 noMashi 2021, 16, amachweba aseJamaica athole izingcingo eziyi-2022, ezihlanganisa abagibeli abayi-104 nabasebenzi abayi-141,265.

Njengoba imboni yezokuvakasha yase-Jamaica iqhubeka nokukhula, Somlomo, u-2022 ubonakala uthembisa ngokufanayo. Unyaka kuze kube manje, siye sabona izivakashi ezingaba ngu-450,000 ezifika ngezimpelasonto ngemva kwempelasonto. Lokhu kufanele kusibone sivala izinyanga ezine zokuqala zonyaka ngokufika kokuma kokufika kuka-650,000 kanye neholo le-US$2 billion.  

Kuyangijabulisa ukusho ukuthi kulindeleke ukuthi sivale u-2022 lapho kufika izivakashi eziyizigidi ezi-3.2, abagibeli bezikebhe babalelwa ezigidini eziyi-1.1 kanye nabafikayo abafikayo babalelwa ezigidini ezi-2.1, ukuze bathole imali ephelele yamaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-3.3.

Lezi zibalo, Somlomo, gcizelela ukuthi umkhakha wezokuvakasha ungamandla agqugquzela ukusimama komnotho waseJamaica ngemuva kwe-COVID-19. Ezokuvakasha zibe negalelo elikhulu ekukhuleni komnotho uwonke kanye nezinye izimboni ezifana nemboni yezoLimo, amaHlathi nezokuDoba, okulinganiselwa ukuthi ikhule ngamaphesenti ayi-12.1. Lokhu kuthuthukiswa kubonise umthelela wokwanda kwesidingo, ikakhulukazi emkhakheni wezokuvakasha, oye wahambisana nokuxegiswa kwezinyathelo ze-COVID-19 kanye nezinye izinyathelo ezithathiwe ukuthuthukisa umkhiqizo walo mkhakha. 

Ekupheleni kuka-2023, inani lezivakashi ezivakashela e-Jamaica kulindeleke ukuthi lifinyelele ezigidini ezingu-4.1, nabagibeli bezikebhe abayizigidi ezingu-1.6, abafikayo abafika e-stopover abayizigidi ezingu-2.5, kanye nemali engenayo yase-US$4.2 billion.

Somlomo, ekupheleni konyaka wezi-2024, imboni kulindeleke ukuthi idlule emazingeni angaphambi kobhubhane, kanti izivakashi ezifikayo kulindeleke ukuthi zifinyelele ezigidini ezi-4.5, zingenise amaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-4.7 emalini eyisamba yokuhwebelana kwamanye amazwe. 

Njengoba amazinga okugoma enyuka nezindlela zokulawula i-COVID-19 ziba nzima kakhulu, silindele ukuthi imboni ikhule kakhulu. NgoMashi, imfuneko yokuthola Isigunyazo Sokuhamba nge-JAMCOVID noma izinkundla zokuvakashela i-Jamaica yaqedwa, okwaba nomthelela oqondile embonini yethu. 

Somlomo, njengoba ukusabalala komhlaba wonke kwe-COVID-19 kuncipha, ukususa izindawo zokuhlala zodwa ezihlobene nohambo kanye nezimfuneko Zokugunyazwa Kohambo kuyizinyathelo ezibalulekile zokuxegisa imithetho yethu yokuvakasha. Siyaqiniseka ukuthi lezi zidingo zokungena ezibuyekeziwe zizoqinisa ukukhanga kwe-Jamaica njengendawo yokuvakasha ekhethwayo, okuvumele umkhakha wezokuvakasha kanye nomnotho obanzi ukuthi uqhubeke nokusimama.

Somlomo, izibalo ziyazikhulumela. Ngokwakhiwa kwamathuba omsebenzi, imali engenayo etholakala kwamanye amazwe, ukuthuthukiswa kwengqalasizinda, kanye namabhizinisi amasha, ezokuvakasha ziwumthombo obalulekile wezomnotho emhlabeni wonke, kuhlanganise naseJamaica.

Ngo-2016 saqala umkhankaso wesibindi wokukhulisa ezokuvakasha ngezivakashi eziyizigidi ezinhlanu, iholo lamaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezinhlanu, kanye namagumbi amasha ayizinkulungwane ezinhlanu ngo-2021. Nakuba lolu bhubhane lwehlisa umgomo wethu wokukhula okwesikhashana, lusinikeze ithuba lokuhlanganisana kabusha. , thola futhi ucabange kabusha umkhiqizo wethu. Somlomo, manje sihlela ukuhlangabezana nalezi zinhloso zokukhula komnotho ngo-2025.

Ngakho sizokusekela kanjani lokhu kukhula? Somlomo, njengoba sibheke phambili kwezokuvakasha sizoba:

• Ukugqugquzela ukutshalwa kwezimali
• Ukuqinisa ukuxhumana
• Ukutshala imali ekuthuthukisweni kwabasebenzi
• Ukuhlukanisa umkhiqizo wethu wezokuvakasha
• Ukwakha ingqalasizinda yezokuvakasha, kanye
• Ukudala Uhlaka Lokuqinisekisa Indawo oya kuyo oluqinisekisa ulwazi lwesivakashi lwangempela, oluphephile, futhi olungenazihibe

Somlomo, ngizochaza ngalezi zindawo njengoba ngiqhubeka nesethulo sami futhi ngikhombise ukuthi sihlela kanjani ukwakha uhlaka lokukhula olukwazi ukumelana nezimo, olulinganayo futhi oluzinzile.

IMPENDULO YETHU YOBHUBHAKA KANYE NOMGWAQO WOKULAMULA

Somlomo, lolu bhubhane selunikeze imboni inselelo enkulu kunazo zonke esake sabhekana nayo. Konke esikufezile ngaphambili, kanye namasu asebenzayo, izinqubomgomo, nezinhlelo, kuye kwabeka isisekelo esiqinile okumele sakhe phezu kwaso siqine nakakhulu ukuze sihlangabezane nezidingo ezintsha zemboni yezokuvakasha yangemva kwe-COVID-19.

Somlomo, kuyangithokozisa ukumemezela ukuthi i-Jamaica iqokwe njengelinye lamazwe alulama ngokushesha kanye nendawo yezokuvakasha ekhula ngokushesha e-Caribbean. Lokhu kungenxa yamaqhinga nezinqubomgomo ezinhle kakhulu esizibekile ukusiza ekunqandeni amagciwane, ikakhulukazi ngaphakathi Kwemihubhe yethu emisha Eqinile.

I-Resilient Corridors, ehlanganisa iningi lezifunda zezokuvakasha zakulesi siqhingi, ivumela izivakashi ukuthi zithole okunye okunikezwayo okuhlukile kwezwe, njengoba iziza eziningi ezithobela i-COVID-19 ezitholakala eduze kwamaphaseji zigunyazwe yiziphathimandla zezempilo ukuthi zivakashelwe. Selokhu kwavulwa kabusha imboni yezokuvakasha ngoJuni 2020, izinqubo ezimisiwe ezilawula amaphasishi zigcine izivakashi nabasebenzi bephephile, okuholele ekutheni iJamaica ibe ngenye yezindawo ezifunwa kakhulu.

Somlomo, elinye isu elibalulekile esalisebenzisa ngo-2021 ukulwa nokubhebhetheka kwaleli gciwane wuhlelo lwethu lokugoma abasebenzi bethu bezokuvakasha. Ithimba lethu leTourism Vaccination Task Force, elasungulelwa ukusiza ukugonywa kwazo zonke izisebenzi zezokuvakasha esiqhingini sonke ngohlelo lwethu lweTourism Worker Vaccination Initiative, liholwa ngokuhlanganyela nguNobhala wethu Omkhulu, uJennifer Griffith kanye noClifton Reader, uMongameli Wehhotela laseJamaica kanye Nezivakashi. Inhlangano (JHTA).

Bebesebenzisana noMnyango Wezempilo Nezempilo, uMnyango WezoHulumeni Basekhaya kanye Nokuthuthukiswa Kwezindawo Zasemakhaya, Inhlangano Yezimboni Ezizimele yase-Jamaica (PSOJ), kanye nenani lababambe iqhaza kwezokuvakasha, umphakathi kanye nezizimele, ukuze kuthuthukiswe futhi kusheshiswe ukugoma. abasebenzi bezokuvakasha.

Ngiyajabula ukunazisa ukuthi izinga lokugonywa kwabasebenzi bezokuvakasha lingaphezu kokuphindwe kabili kwesilinganiso sikazwelonke, futhi ngaphezu kwamaphesenti angama-70 abasebenzi bethu bezokuvakasha kanye nemindeni yabo bayagonywa. Manje sesinikeze imithamo eyizigidi eziyi-1.3 yomgomo esiqhingini sonke. Ngaphezu kwalokho, sithole eminye imithamo engu-650,000 yomgomo we-Pfizer COVID-19 kuHulumeni waseFrance ngoFebhuwari.

Umgomo wethu uwukuqinisekisa ukuthi bonke abasebenzi bezokuvakasha abayizi-170,000 bayagonywa futhi bavikelekile ezingozini zokubamba igciwane elibulalayo. Lokhu kuzosiza ngemizamo yokuvuselela umkhakha kanye, nokwengeza, neyesizwe.

Ukusimama kubalulekile ohlelweni lokubuyisela, Somlomo. Ngenxa yalokho, sithatha izinyathelo zamabomu zokwakha umkhiqizo ophephile, olinganayo, futhi onikeza ithuba lezomnotho kubantu abaningi base-Jamaica njengengxenye yokuphusha kwethu ukuqhubeka nokuhlasela nokubamba amathuba avezwa yile nhlekelele.

UKUTHUTHUKISWA KOMSEBENZI WABANTU

Ukuqeqeshwa Kwabasebenzi Bezokuvakasha

Somlomo, inselelo yomkhakha wezabasebenzi isiphenduke inselele kakhulu ngemuva kobhubhane. Kule minyaka emibili edlule, kube nokuzamazama komhlaba emakethe yezabasebenzi mayelana nokuba khona kwabasebenzi, izidingo zabo, kanye nezidingo zemboni yezokuvakasha. 

Ngemuva kokuwa kokuphazamiseka okubangelwe wubhubhane embonini yezokuvakasha, iningi labasebenzi bethu bathole imisebenzi kweminye imikhakha yezomnotho njengama-BPO. Ngaphezu kwalokho, abadlali bakwamanye amazwe bebelokhu beza eJamaica ukuzonxenxa abasebenzi bethu abanekhono kwezokuvakasha. Ngenxa yalokhu, silahlekelwe ngabasebenzi bethu ababalelwa ku-20,000, Somlomo.

Nakuba kungaba nzima ukubamba lezi zimakethe, Somlomo, saqhubeka nemizamo yethu ngo-2021 yokuqeqesha abasebenzi emkhakheni wezokuvakasha, njengoba lokhu kubalulekile ekuqaliseni kabusha imboni yethu yezokuvakasha kanye nokuhlangabezana nezidingo zabasebenzi ezilokhu zikhula njalo. imboni. Sizibophezele ekukhiqizeni abasebenzi abanokuncintisana nabakhiqizayo abangasebenzisa amathuba ebhizinisi lezokuvakasha nelezivakashi, Somlomo.

Yingakho, Nkosikazi, Somlomo, bekubalulekile ukusungula i-Jamaica Centre of Tourism Innovation (JCTI) ngo-2017, okuyingxenye yeSikhwama Sokuthuthukisa Ezokuvakasha (TEF) esijutshwe ukusiza ukuthuthukiswa kwezinsiza zabantu eziyigugu zase-Jamaica kanye nokukhuthaza ezokuvakasha. ukuthuthukiswa komkhakha. Njengoba abantu bethu besalokhu bebaheha kakhulu, lena yindawo ebalulekile yentuthuko. Bangamandla abangela impumelelo yethu eqhubekayo, futhi siyaqonda ukuthi ukuze sihlale sisemqondweni emakethe futhi silondoloze inzuzo yethu yokuncintisana, kufanele sitshale kubantu bakithi ngokubaqeqesha nokubanikeza izitifiketi ukuze bathuthukise izicucu zabo.

Ithimba njengamanje liphothula isitifiketi seqembu lokuqala le-American Culinary Federation (ACF), eliqale uhlelo ngo-Okthoba 2021. NgoJanuwari 2022, iqoqo lesibili laqala ukuthola izitifiketi. I-JCTI iphinde yaqinisekisa ngempumelelo abapheki abakhulu abayisithupha (6) abasebenza e-Jamaica, kusukela yethula uhlelo lwayo lwesitifiketi sobuciko bokupheka. 

Ngaphezu kwalokho, cishe abantu abayizi-2,000 baphothule izitifiketi Zabaphathi Bezihambi, Abaphathi Be-Spa, Ochwepheshe Be-ServSafe, Ochwepheshe Benkonzo Yamakhasimende, kanye Nohlelo Lokuphathwa Kwezivakashi Nokuvakasha (HTMP) onyakeni Wezimali ka-2021/2022.

Somlomo, i-JCTI isebenzela ukushintsha iningi lezinhlelo zayo zokunikeza izitifiketi ku-inthanethi, kuyilapho i-American Hotel & Lodging Educational Institute (AHLEI) yenza iwebhusayithi yayo ibe yesimanje ukuze ivumele izethulo ezengeziwe ze-inthanethi.
