Umbiko, wethulwe ngosuku lokuqala lwenyanga I-WTM London 2023 - tumcimbi wezokuvakasha nowezokuvakasha onethonya elikhulu emhlabeni wonke - uthi: “Uhambo lokuziphindiselela, inkambiso yamanje njengoba abathengi bethola uhambo ngemva kwe-COVID-19, cishe selunciphise umthelela wezindleko eziphezulu ekuziphatheni kwabathengi kuze kube manje; kodwa kusazobonakala ukuthi amanani entengo aphezulu azoqhubeka nokuba nomthelela ekukhethweni kwabahambi ukuya phambili.”
Amabhizinisi ezokuvakasha nawo akhathazekile ngokwanda kwezindleko, kanye nezinkinga zabasebenzi, umbiko udalula.
Naphezu kwesizinda somnotho esingaqinisekile, nokho, umbono muhle lapho abathengi abaningi bebonisa ukubaluleka uma kuza ekusebenziseni imali ekuhambeni, kusho i-WTM Global Travel Report.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, izinto eziningi ezibe nomthelela empumelelweni yezokuvakasha emhlabeni jikelele zizoqhubeka nokuba negalelo ekukhuleni kwemboni esikhathini esizayo; ukukhula komnotho ezimakethe ezisafufusa kanye nokushintsha kwabantu kanye nomphakathi kuseyizindawo zamathuba.
Lapho becelwa ukuthi bahlonze izithiyo noma izinselele kwezokuvakasha, abaphendulile bathe ukukhuphuka kwezindleko zebhizinisi nezindaba zabasebenzi yizinto ezimbili ezibakhathaza kakhulu, ezihlonzwe ngama-59% no-57% abaphendulile ngokulandelana.
Izindleko zendawo yokuhlala (54%), izindleko zezindiza (48%) kanye ne-Bureaucracy/imithethonqubo Kahulumeni (37%) konke kukhuphuka kakhulu ohlwini lwezinto ezikhathazayo kunokwehla kwemali esetshenziswa abahambi, okuhlonzwe njengokukhathazayo ngama-33% abaphenduli.
Ezokuvakasha emhlabeni jikelele ziyaqhubeka nokukhula ngamandla naphezu kwezingozi nezinselelo embonini ebhekene nazo. Ekupheleni kuka-2023, iTourism Economics ibikezela ukuthi uhambo lwamazwe ngamazwe luzodlula ibhiliyoni elingu-1.25, okungaphezu kuka-85% wezinga eliphakeme elizuzwe ngo-2019.
Kunamathuba amaningi ajabulisayo ngokumelene nesizinda sesidingo esikhulayo.
Umbiko uthi izinkampani zisebenzisa ubuchwepheshe ukubhekana nokushoda kwezisebenzi; imicimbi emikhulu yamasiko nezemidlalo isibuyele emuva futhi kunesidingo esikhulayo sabathengi sezinto eziyingqayizivele, ezikhumbulekayo, zonke ezinikeza amathuba ezindawo zokuvakasha kanye nezinhlangano.
'Intokozo' - uhambo lwebhizinisi nokungcebeleka oluxubile - phakathi kwezinye izitayela zohambo lwebhizinisi ezifana 'nezindawo zokusebenza' kugqanyiswe njengethuba lesithathu elikhulu kunawo wonke, elishiwo ngu-53% wabaphenduli.
Izinhlangano eziningi nezindawo okuyiwa kuzo zizimise kabusha ukuze zamukele ngempumelelo lo mkhuba njengoba abantu bejabulela ukuguquguquka okukhulu kwendawo yokusebenza manje uma kuqhathaniswa nobhubhane lwangaphambi kobhubhane. Isibonelo, ezinye iziqhingi zaseCaribbean, okubandakanya i-Aruba, zazibeka njengomsebenzi okahle osuka endaweni yasekhaya ngo-2020 futhi lowo mkhuba usaqhubekile.
Ukuthambekela okubanzi kokukhuphuka kokwenza kube ngokwakho kungokunye okugxilwe kukho kanye nethuba embonini. Umbiko wakamuva oxhaswe yi-Mastercard we-Harvard Business Review uthole ukuthi amabhizinisi angaphezu kwesigamu abheka ukwenziwa komuntu siqu kwamakhasimende njengendlela ebalulekile yokwandisa imali engenayo nenzuzo.
Kodwa izinselelo zomnotho kanye nemicimbi yomhlaba wonke izothinta ukuzethemba kwabathengi, kanye nentuthuko kwezobuchwepheshe, ukuziphatha okusha kwabathengi, kanye nezici zezenhlalo nezepolitiki phakathi kwezinye zezingozi namathuba ezinhlangano zezokuvakasha emhlabeni wonke, kusho umbiko.
UJuliette Losardo, Umqondisi Wemibukiso e-World Travel Market London, uthe:
“Njengoba umbiko we-WTM Global Travel Report ukhombisa, izindleko azikhathazi amakhasimende kuphela, kodwa namabhizinisi ezokuvakasha, okumele aphinde athole izindlela zokubhekana nenkinga yokushoda kwabasebenzi.
“Okujabulisa kakhulu ukuthi umbiko ukhombisa amathuba angempela akhona ababambe iqhaza kwezokuvakasha kanye nezokungcebeleka abawabambayo, njengokubhekelela izitayela zamanje njengokuhamba komuntu siqu kanye nesipiliyoni esihlala isikhathi eside enkumbulweni.
“Isidingo esiphuthumayo sobhubhane lwe-COVID esimise ukuhamba komhlaba sisaphezulu futhi abantu bazohlale befuna ukuhamba beyozizwela amasiko ahlukene futhi baphawule ohlwini lwamabhakede okufanele bawabone.
“Izokuvakasha zikhombise kaningi ukuthi ziqine kangakanani, futhi lo mbiko ukhombisa ukuthi, ngamathuba akhona, imboni yezokuvakasha neyokuvakasha ibhekene nekusasa elijabulisayo.”
