“Ungasebenzisana nezinhlangano ezeseka izingane, kodwa lezo zinhlangano kumele zenze konke ezingakwenza ukugcina lezo zingane emiphakathini yazo kanye nemindeni yazo,” kusho uSallie Grayson, umqondisi wezinhlelo zePeople and Places, ephawula ngemuva kokuwina indondo ku- I-World Travel Market (WTM) 2013.

Nokho ubengenalo ithemba njengoba eveze ukuthi usanda kuxhumana nezinhlangano ezingamavolontiya ezingu-90 wabuza ukuthi banazo yini imigomo yokuvikela izingane. Bangu-26 kuphela abaphendulile, abangu-15 kubo bathi yebo, kodwa abahlanu kuphela kubo abenza izinqubomgomo zabo zitholakale esidlangalaleni noma bamthumelele ubufakazi obucelile.
U-Vicky Smith ovela ku-International Centre for Responsible Tourism ugxile ekukhangiseni okunesibopho sokuvolontiya, futhi wembula ukuthi isilinganiso sanyanga zonke se-Google sifuna amagama angukhiye "ivolontiya langaphandle" inombolo engu-9900, kodwa "ngokuzithandela okunomthwalo wemfanelo" yi-10 kuphela.

Lokhu kubaluleke kakhulu, esho, ngoba njengamanje "ukuntuleka kokulawulwa kokuvolontiya kusho ukuthi amavolontiya athenga imikhiqizo empofu futhi awakwazi ukubamba izinkampani ezimbi ukuba ziphendule."
Kwesinye intuthuko enhle yokugcina, u-Sallie Grayson umemezele ukuthi i-People and Places kulo nyaka izokwethula incwadi yezinkampani zamavolontiya ezinomthwalo wemfanelo, ezovumela labo abafisa ukuthola amathuba okuvolontiya anesimilo ukuba babe nendawo yokuqala abangayethemba.
Iseshini yokugcina yohlelo lwezokuvakasha olunomthwalo wemfanelo lwe-WTM 2013 lubheke umnikelo wezomnotho wamagugu kwezokuvakasha. UDkt. Jonathan Foyle, oyiChief Executive of World Monuments Fund Britain, uveze ukuthi ezokuvakasha zamagugu manje sezingabiza u-£26 billion emnothweni wase-UK. Kodwa-ke uthe, kunolunye uhlangothi kulokhu kukhula, enikeza isibonelo saseVenice, lapho abantu bomdabu behle ngesigamu bafika ku-50,000, kodwa kufika izivakashi ezingu-80,000 usuku ngalunye. "Iminyaka yokuvakasha kwabantu abaningi ivumele abantu ukuthi bajabulele iVenice kodwa yalimaza kakhulu izinsiza zayo," esho, eveza ukuthi imikhumbi ehamba ngomkhumbi manje iletha ama-20,000 ngosuku edolobheni, kodwa ngaphandle kokwengeza inzuzo enkulu emnothweni noma emphakathini. Izivakashi zilala futhi zidle ukudla kwazo emkhunjini, futhi zivele zichithe amahora ambalwa emigwaqweni yaseVenice, lapho ezithenga khona okuyinhloko kuwukudla okulula nezikhumbuzo. Lokhu kudala inkinga enkulu yokulahlwa kwedolobha.
Wachaza isimo esifanayo eCambodia, lapho ukuthandwa kwesakhiwo sethempeli lase-Angkor Wat kubone kwakhiwa amahhotela amaningi amasha. Kodwa ngeshwa badonsa kakhulu emanzini, futhi ngenxa yalokho izikhumbuzo ziyehla. Lo monakalo uhlanganiswa nomthamo wezivakashi eziguguleka izakhiwo njengoba zidlula kuzo.
