IKenya ibhekene nokuncintisana okunzima okuvela eTanzania njengendawo ekhethwa yizivakashi esifundeni saseMpumalanga Afrika.
Lawa mazwe womabili asenkingeni enzima yokuvakashela izivakashi zamazwe ngamazwe kanye nemali engenayo, njengoba amazwe asebenzisana nawo Amazwe aseMpumalanga Afrika elungiselela ukumaketha lesi sifunda njengendawo eyodwa yokuvakasha.
Umbiko Wokuncintisana Wokuvakasha Nezokuvakasha Wenkundla Yezomnotho Yomhlaba Ka-2009, uklelisa iKenya phezulu eMpumalanga Afrika ngama-93, isikhundla esidlula iTanzania.
I-Uganda neBurundi abekwe endaweni ye-111 kanye ne-131 ngokulandelana, emazweni angu-133.
Lokhu kube ukuthuthuka kweKenya ekleliswe endaweni ye-100 ngonyaka odlule kanye nokwehla kweTanzania eyayisendaweni yama-88.
Ukungenzi kahle kwemboni yezokuvakasha eKenya kusolwa kakhulu odlameni lwangemva kokhetho olwanyakazisa izwe ekuqaleni kuka-2008.
Lo mbiko, olungiswa minyaka yonke yiWorld Economic Forum, ubheka izinga lokuthuthuka kwemboni yezokuvakasha emikhakheni ehlukene yeminotho.
Imibandela yokukala ihlanganisa: uhlaka lokulawula lwamazwe, izinsiza zemvelo, abantu namasiko, nendawo yebhizinisi nengqalasizinda.
Imvelo yebhizinisi nengqalasizinda eKenya amaphuzu aphezulu kunaseTanzania; kodwa izinsiza zayo zibalwa njengezimbi kakhulu kunezakamuva.
Nokho uNgqongqoshe wezokuVakasha, uMnuz Najib Balala, uxwayise ngokuthi izibalo zalolu hlobo, ezincike ezibalweni zezokuvakasha zezwe ngalinye, ezingawahlanganisi amanye amazwe akulesi sifunda, zingadala amaphutha.
"Indlela yesifunda ekuqoqweni kwedatha izoqeda amaphutha ezibalo ezenzeka ezimweni lapho izivakashi zingena eTanzania zisuka eKenya zibuye," ehlongoza.
Abahlaziyi baphikisa ngokuthi nakuba iKenya ibilokhu ishaya iTanzania kule minyaka eyishumi edlule ngokwezibalo zabavakashi bamazwe ngamazwe, inezindleko eziphansi kakhulu ezisetshenziswa yizivakashi ngohambo ngalunye.
Umbiko omayelana nesimo sale mboni osanda kukhishwa ngabakwaStanbic Investments, onesihloko esithi, “Tourism in Kenya: the bubbling giant,” uveze ukuthi ngo-2008, iKenya yathola abantu abangaba yizigidi ezingu-1 abafika kwamanye amazwe, kanti iTanzania yayinengxenye kuphela yalokhu.
Nakuba abavakashi abavakashela eKenya bachitha isilinganiso samaRandi angu-500 uhambo ngalunye, labo abavakashela izwe elingumakhelwane bachitha cishe amaRandi angu-1,600 XNUMX uhambo ngalunye.
Kulindeleke ukuthi imizamo yokumaketha ehlanganyelwe ngaphansi kwe-EAC ngaphansi komkhankaso othi “Destination East Africa” izomemezela ukukhula komkhakha wezokuvakasha esifundeni ngokuheha izivakashi eziningi.
UMnu Balala uthe ngaphansi kwalolu hlelo, amazwe e-EAC azoba nokuqeqeshwa okuhlanganyelwe kwezokuvakasha, izinhlelo zokuqoqwa kwezibalo zezokuvakasha, kanye nemithetho yentela, ngaphandle kokuhlanganisa izinsiza zokumaketha nokuba nesitendi esisodwa sesifunda emibukisweni yamazwe ngamazwe.
Ungqongqoshe ufuna izwe ngalinye le-EAC lisungule izikhungo zezifunda ezisebenza kahle ezindaweni eliwusizo uma liqhathaniswa nokugwema ukuncintisana phakathi kwezikhungo zokuqeqesha ezokuvakasha zamazwe.
Amanye amasu ahlanganyelwe ahlongozwayo ahlanganisa ukuvunyelaniswa kwemithetho yentela ngokusekelwe ezivumelwaneni ze-EAC ukuze kuqedwe noma yimiphi imiqhudelwano engafanele.
Uchungechunge lwezinhlelo lusaqhubeka mayelana nalokhu okuhlanganisa ukuqeqeshwa kwakamuva okuhlanganyelwe kwabahloli ukuze kuhlukaniswe amahhotela nezindawo zokudlela kusetshenziswa Amazinga Okuhlukanisa AseMpumalanga Afrika asanda kusungulwa.
Lokhu kuhloswe ngakho ukuvumelanisa ukubhaliswa kanye nokuhlukaniswa kwezindawo zokuhlala esifundeni.

LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:
- Kulindeleke ukuthi imizamo yokumaketha ehlanganyelwe ngaphansi kwe-EAC ngaphansi komkhankaso othi “Destination East Africa” izomemezela ukukhula komkhakha wezokuvakasha esifundeni ngokuheha izivakashi eziningi.
- Lawa mazwe womabili asenkingeni enzima yokuvakashela izivakashi zamazwe ngamazwe kanye nemali engenayo, njengoba amazwe asebenzisana nawo Amazwe aseMpumalanga Afrika elungiselela ukumaketha lesi sifunda njengendawo eyodwa yokuvakasha.
- Analysts argue that though Kenya has consistently beaten Tanzania over the past decade in terms of the numbers of international tourist arrivals, it has much lesser average expenditure by tourists per trip .
