Kungani ukugqoka imaski kuseseyinkinga? Kungani abantu besahamba ku-Thanksgiving, futhi kungani amanye amabhodi wezokuvakasha e-US esazama ukuthola izivakashi ukuthi zifike? Ezomnotho?
"Iqhawe lomuntu uqobo kulolu bhubhane iMeya uKirk Caldwell waseHonolulu, eHawaii," kusho uJuergen Steinmetz, ophinde abe ngumsunguli we World Tourism Network. Umnotho ku Aloha UMbuso ushayisane nodonga lwezitini, kodwa iHawaii iphinde yaba nenani eliphansi lokutheleleka nge-COVID – 19 (2.49%). Uma le nombolo ingaphansi kuka-5% izifunda eziningi zingaphakamisa imikhawulo eminingi ye-COVID-19. IHawaii ibuye ilondoloze imithethonqubo enzima ukuze kugcinwe uMbuso uphephile, nezivakashi zase-US zingaphandle.
IMeya uCaldwell namhlanje ubuze umbuzo onzima, kungani noma yisiphi isivakashi esivela ezwekazini i-US singafuna ukugibela indiza yamahora amahlanu ukuvakashela? Njengamanje izivakashi ezivela ezwekazini lase-US zingangena eMbusweni ngaphandle kokuvalelwa wedwa kanye nohlolo olungelona olwe-COVID-5 olusuka kumalabhorethri agunyaziwe. Ngenxa yesidingo sokusakazeka kwegciwane ezweni, ukuhlolwa okunjalo akuhlali kutholakala njalo. Noma ngubani ofika eHawaii ngaphandle kokuhlolwa okungafanele kusadingeka ukuthi agcine ukuhlukaniswa okuphoqelekile kwamaviki amabili. Kunengxoxo yokuletha isikhathi esinqunyelwe sokwahlukaniswa okunjalo ezinsukwini eziyishumi noma ngisho nangesonto elilodwa.
IHawaii isanda kusungula ibhamuza lokuhamba neJapan. Izivakashi zaseJapan ezinezivivinyo ezingezinhle ze-COVID-19 sezingafika kuHulumeni futhi zigweme ukuvalelwa wedwa. Kodwa-ke, lapho ubuyela ekhaya ukuhlukaniswa kwamasonto amabili kuyimpoqo.
Leli bhamuba lokuhamba lingahle lihle emazweni afaka iNingizimu Korea, i-Australia, noma iNew Zealand, kodwa ngokusho kweMeya yaseHonolulu uCaldwell la mazwe ngeke aqhubekele phambili. Isizathu: IHawaii iyingxenye ye-United States.
