Over 60. Over 70. Over 80. Travelling the Planet
Umhambi omkhulu unemali futhi njengamanje uchitha amaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-30 ngonyaka, uthatha amaphesenti angama-70 azo zonke izindawo zabagibeli emikhunjini yokuhamba ngomkhumbi, futhi usebenzisa amaphesenti angama-74 ngaphezulu ngamaholide kuno-18-49 y/o. Njengeqembu sebeba nentshisekelo enkulu ekuzifundiseni nasekuzijabuliseni, bephatha ezokuvakasha nokuzilibazisa njengomklomelo obafanele ngomsebenzi wabo wangaphambilini owawugcwele ukuzidela komuntu siqu. Izindala “ezintsha”, (okungukuthi, i Baby Boomers, 1946-1964) bahamba njalo (ngokwesilinganiso izikhathi ezi-4-5 ngonyaka) futhi kungenzeka bakwazi ukuzikhokhela ngokunethezeka izindleko.
Izihambi eziphezulu ziyashintsha futhi ziyathuthuka futhi kungenzeka zibe enye yezinguquko ezibalulekile kwezenhlalo kuyo yonke imikhakha yomphakathi, okuhlanganisa izimakethe zezemisebenzi nezezimali, ezezindlu, nezokuthutha, kanye nezinguquko ekwakhekeni komndeni kanye nobudlelwano phakathi kwezizukulwane.
Abaphathi Bezokuvakasha Abanaki
Izikhulu eziningi emikhakheni ehlobene nokuvakasha zisebenza ngaphandle kokuqonda izici nezintshisekelo zabahambi abadala nezindlela ezahlukahlukene abasebenzisa ngazo ezokuvakasha. Kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi umuntu omdala “omusha” unamazinga aphezulu okusebenza kwabantu ngokwemfundo, amakhono, amakhono, kanye nephrofayili yezempilo ethuthukisiwe kunangaphambili, okubenza bakwazi ukuhlala bekhuthele, futhi bekhiqiza, babambe iqhaza isikhathi eside emphakathini, futhi ukuhamba.
Chaza Abadala: Inselele
Ayikho incazelo ecacile yokuthi “abadala asebekhulile.”
Leli gama libandakanya, lihlanganisa amagama afana nemakethe evuthiwe, imakethe engama-50-plus, imakethe ephezulu, kanye nama-baby boomers. Abanye abacwaningi bahlukanisa iqembu ngezigaba Zokuphila:
1. I-Empty Nesters (55-64). Isasebenza; izingane zingase zingasekho ekhaya; izingane ezingancikile kubazali; izikweletu ezimbalwa zezimali; izimali ezanele zokuxhasa izidingo/izidingo; izimpahla zikanokusho ezithengekayo ngenxa yemali engenayo ephezulu futhi ezinzile; thatha uhambo olufushane; hamba njalo.
2. Intsha Abadala (65-79). Osanda kuthatha umhlalaphansi; wangena eqenjini elicebile isikhathi; sebenzisa ukonga kwangaphambili ukuze ubhekane nezindleko zamanje; ukuqwashisa okuphezulu ngezindaba zempilo; azikho izinkinga zempilo ezingathi sína; ikhetha ukuhamba futhi ichithe izimpahla/izinkonzo ezisezingeni eliphezulu.
3. Abadala (80 +). Isigaba sokuthatha umhlalaphansi sekwephuzile. Kwezinye izimo, isimo sezempilo singase sehle; angase adinge ukunakekelwa kwezempilo noma amakhaya omhlalaphansi; hamba kancane njalo; khetha izindawo zasekhaya
Ngenxa yokuthi kunezinhlobonhlobo eziningi kumaphrofayili abantu abadala, ukubuka kwe-Life Stages kunikeza ukubukeka okusheshayo emakethe ephezulu; noma kunjalo, kungenzeka ukuthi ayinembile. Okungase kulingane kangcono, i-Cognitive Theory of Aging (Benny Barak kanye noLeon G. Schiffman, 1981) lapho "iminyaka" isekelwe endleleni abantu abazizwa ngayo ngabo, indlela ababukeka ngayo futhi benza ngayo, exhunywe nezithakazelo zabo zomuntu siqu. Yilo mbono womuntu siqu onqumayo ukuthi yini abayoyenza nokuthi izokwenziwa kanjani. Ucwaningo lubonisa iqiniso lokuthi abantu abadala abaningi "bazizwe" bebancane phakathi kweminyaka eyi-7-15 kuneminyaka yabo yokulandelana kwezikhathi futhi le minyaka "yokuzibona noma yokuqonda ibonakala ithonya ukuziphatha kwabo kokuthenga," ngokusho kuka-Barak Schiffman (1981).
Omusha OMDALA
Imakethe ephezulu icebile futhi inempilo kunezandulelayo ngakho-ke imele ithuba elikhulu lemboni yamahhotela, ezokuvakasha, nezokuvakasha. Njengoba amanani akhula kanye nendlela abasebenzisa ngayo imali, kusobala ukuthi abaningi emikhakheni yebhizinisi bazozuza okuhlanganisa amahhotela, izikhumulo zezindiza, izinkampani zezindiza, izitimela, ukudla/isiphuzo, iwayini/imimoya, abaklami bezakhiwo, abaklami bangaphakathi, abadayisi bomshwalense, i-spa/ijimu/umsebenzi. abahlinzeki kanye ne-telemed nezinye izinsiza zezokwelapha ezikude. Okubizwa “njengokucindezelwa kokugula” - ubude bobudala obuneMPILO bubonakala buyakhula futhi bungahlotshaniswa nobude bempilo, ngokwengxenye ngenxa yezikhathi ezimfushane nezakamuva zokugula. Umphumela uwukuthi ukwanda kwenani leminyaka ehlala abantu abadala, ngokuvamile ngaphandle kwezinkinga ezinkulu zempilo.
Kuze kube manje futhi kufaka phakathi leli phuzu ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, abakhangisi bezokuvakasha kanye nabathuthukisi bemikhiqizo bagxilise imizamo yabo kubathengi abancane, bashaya indiva labo abaneminyaka engu-50+.
Ngeshwa, imboni iyaqhubeka nokuphatha bonke abathengi abadala njengengxenye eyodwa efanayo. Lokhu kugxila kusekelwe emibonweni enganembile nengaqondwa kahle yabantu “abadala”. I-stereotype iphakamisa ukuthi abahambi abaningi abadala badala kakhulu noma babuthakathaka kakhulu ukuthi bangahamba uma kuqhathaniswa namaqembu amaningi abantu abasha. Umphumela? Ukuhlolwa okukha phezulu kwabahambi abadala kanye nokungabikho kwezinsizakalo, indawo yokuhlala, kanye nemisebenzi ebhekana nezidingo zabo kanye nezimfuno zabo.
Abadala Balethe Etafuleni
Inani elikhulayo labahambi abadala liletha izimpahla eziningi etafuleni okuhlanganisa iminyaka yokuphila ephakeme, imali engenayo ephezulu engasetshenziswa, impilo ethuthukisiwe, isikhathi samahhala nesivumelana nezimo. Ngenxa yokuthi leli qembu lihlanganisa abahambi abanolwazi, banombono onembe kakhudlwana walokho abakufunayo, okwenza kube inselele embonini ukubamangaza. Abakhangisi bezokuvakasha kuzodingeka bakhuphule umdlalo wabo ukuze bahlangabezane nale makethe entsha, babhekane nalokho abakulindele ngesevisi yomuntu siqu, ikhwalithi, nezinketho zokuvakasha ezihlanganisa izindawo ezingavamile.
Abantu abadala babeka ukubaluleka kokuzivocavoca umzimba - okuyingxenye ebalulekile yokuphila okunempilo kanye "nokuguga kahle." Lokhu kuxhunyaniswe nokuthuthukiswa kwesimo somnotho nezimo zezempilo zaleli qembu. Abantu baphila isikhathi eside, futhi bazizwa benempilo enhle kunezizukulwane ezedlule. Ukuzivivinya umzimba kudlulela ngale kokuhamba, ukugibela izintaba, ukubhukuda, i-snorkeling, ukutshuza, ukudoba, nokushushuluza, futhi kufaka phakathi amakilasi okuzivocavoca kanye ne-yoga, izindawo zokuzivocavoca ezihlome ngokuphelele anabaqeqeshi nabaqeqeshi, kanye ne-sky diving kanye ne-bungee jumping. Abantu abadala "abancane ngenhliziyo" bangase bancamele ukubekisa uhambo lwemvelo oluholwa ngabaqaphi e-Yellowstone noma uhambo lokugibela ihhashi ogwini lolwandle e-Costa Rica. Kodwa-ke, "inhliziyo endala" ingase ikhethe imisebenzi yokuzivocavoca ephansi futhi ikhethe uhambo lokunambitha iwayini e-Italy, ikilasi lezitsha zobumba e-Santa Fe, ikilasi lokudansa e-Austria, noma uhambo lwebhasi eScotland.
Emgogodleni wamathrendi ambalwa okuvakasha, umhambi oyisiliva uvuse intshisekelo ku-ecotourism, uhambo lokuzidela, ukuvakasha kwezokwelapha, uhambo lwezizukulwane eziningi, amaholide othando/okuzilibazisa (ukuhlanganisa iholide nothando lokupenda, ukufunda ulimi, ukuqoqa izinto zakudala, kanye nokudla okumnandi/ amawayini amahle namakilasi okupheka kanye nokwanda ngokomoya.Lokhu kuhlukahluka kwezithakazelo kusho ukuthi maningi amathuba ezimakethe zezokuvakasha ezisezindaweni ezihlukene ukuze zinikeze izinsiza kule makethe ehlosiwe njengoba izinkampani eziningi ezinkulu zinganakanga lesi sivakashi.
Bonke ababambiqhaza bezokuvakasha kuzodingeka bahlangabezane futhi/noma beqe izisusa zokuvakasha zabadala, okuhlanganisa isidingo sokuxhumana nabantu, imicimbi ekhethekile, okuhlangenwe nakho okukhumbulekayo, izinsiza zamasiko, iminikelo yemfundo, kanye nesifiso sokuzenza ongokoqobo. Umhambi omkhulu onolwazi olunzulu ufuna ubuqiniso, ukuzithuthukisa, kanye nolwazi olusha.
Amathuba
Ukuhamba kwabantu abadala sekuphenduke okwesizini futhi abaningi abadala asebekhulile bahamba ngaphandle kwenkathi ephezulu njengoba ishibhile futhi bangakwazi ukuhlala bengekho ekhaya isikhathi eside. Ama-ejensi wezokuvakasha nabaphathi bezindawo abaya kuzo banethuba lokunikeza amanani esaphulelo kubantu abadala asebekhulile ngenxa yamanani aphansi okuhlala ezindiza kanye nezindawo zokulala phakathi nezinkathi ezingabizi kakhulu.
U-Dana Jiacoletti (RightRez, Inc.) uphawule ukuthi abantu abadala bathenga umshwalense wokuhamba ngenani eliphakeme kunozakwabo abancane, “Umshwalense ubaluleke kakhulu kubantu abadala ngoba ukhokhela izindleko uma kukhona okubavimbelayo ekuthatheni uhambo.” Lesi esinye isibonelo lapho usayizi owodwa ungalingani wonke. Abanye abahambi abakhulu bazoba nentshisekelo enkokhelweni yemali yokukhansela noma yokuphazamiseka kuyilapho abanye bekwazisa ukuvikelwa inqubomgomo ekunikezayo okuhlanganisa nokwelashwa kwesikhashana.
Idizayini Yokuhamba Kwabadala
Yonke imikhiqizo yezokuvakasha inezici eziningi futhi ingase idinge ukuthi ihambisane nephrofayili ngayinye. Yebo, kukhona okufanayo okufana namaphakheji afaka konke, ezokuthutha ezingenazo izinkinga; ikhwalithi phezu komthamo, kanye nezinketho zokudla ezilinganiselayo ezicabangela izidingo ezikhethekile zokudla.
Kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi abahambi abakhulu ABATHANDI ukuzicabangela njengabahambi abakhulu yingakho bengaphenduli ekukhangiseni okukhetha iminyaka yobudala (okungukuthi, izithombe ezibonisa amakhono abo alinganiselwe noma ukusetshenziswa kobuchwepheshe obuphelelwe yisikhathi). Okuncanyelwayo okomfanekiso wabantu abadala abavuthiwe abaphila izimpilo zabo eziyiqiniso ezigcwele. Abakhangisi kufanele babonise izithombe zabantu abadala be-kayaking, ukuhamba ngezinyawo, ukudansa, ukuzijabulisa, ukufunda, ukupheka, nokwenza zonke izinto ababecabanga ukuzenza lapho beba yizidleke ezingenalutho nabathatha umhlalaphansi.
Imibuzo
Abenzeli bezokuvakasha kanye nama-Tour Operators kufanele bakwazi ukuphendula imibuzo ebuzwa amaklayenti aphezulu:
1. Kufanele “ngilunge ngokomzimba” kangakanani ukuze ngingene kulolu hambo?
2. Ngingumhambi ngedwa; ingabe kuzodingeka ngikhokhe isengezo esisodwa?
3. Ngineminyaka engaphezu kuka-65/75/noma yini – ngingajoyina ukuvakasha?
4. Ukutholakala kwendlu yangasese kanye namazinga (ebhasini lokuvakasha/isitimela/endaweni)?
5. Ingabe ngiyakwazi ukuhamba ngenduku/i-walker/isihlalo sabakhubazekile?
6. Ngingakwazi yini ukugcina isihlalo esithile evenini/ebhasini/esitimela/endizani?
7. Nginomshini we-apnea yokulala; ngingakuletha? Izidingo zikagesi?
8. Siyini isimo sokuphepha nokuvikeleka endaweni/izindawo zokulala?
9. Nginemikhawulo yokudla, ingabe izinketho zokudlela zizotholakala? Ingabe kuzoba nezinkokhelo ezengeziwe?
10. Ingabe zonke izingxenye zohlelo zokukhubazeka ziyafinyeleleka (okungukuthi, abangaboni kahle; ukusebenzisa izinduku, izihambi, izihlalo zabakhubazekile; abangezwa kahle)?
Umsebenzisi wokuvakasha kanye/noma umenzeli wezokuvakasha udinga ukwazi ukufinyeleleka kuzo zonke izingxenye zephakheji.
Noma kunemikhawulo emincane yeselula, ukufinyeleleka kungaba inselele. Lokhu kuhlanganisa ezokuthutha (izikhumulo zezindiza, izindiza, izitimela, amabhasi/amaveni), indawo yokuhlala, nezindawo zokungcebeleka (okungukuthi, izindlela, amabhishi, amachibi, amahlathi). Abantu abadala bafuna ukuqinisekiswa ukuthi izindawo zokungena/zokuphuma ziyafinyeleleka futhi kukhona ukugadwa kwezitebhisi ezizihambelayo namakheshi, amarempu, nezindlu zokugeza eziklanywe ngokukhethekile.
Ukuphepha kwezempilo kubandakanya ukufinyelela ezinsizeni zezokwelapha zomhlaba wonke, kanye nendawo engenalo amagciwane/amagciwane ngolwazi lwezinqubo zokuhlanzeka ezisezingeni. Ukuba khona kwezibhedlela ezinezikhungo zezokwelapha zakamuva ezisekelwa ithimba lodokotela abaphumelelayo kufanele kube yingxenye yezincwajana/iwebhusayithi yokwethulwa. Umhambi omkhulu ufuna ukuqinisekiswa ukuthi Uma kwenzeka egula noma elimala, kunethuba lokungeniswa ngokushesha kanye nokwelashwa emtholampilo/esibhedlela ngaphandle kokulandela i-red tape yenqubo. Futhi bafuna ukwazi ukuthi umshwalense wabo wezokwelapha uzokwamukelwa yini noma bazodinga umshwalense othile wendawo kanye nokuthi i(izi)nkonzo zezokwelapha zizokwamukela amakhadi esikweletu/edebhithi ukuze akhokhe.
Ezokuthutha kufanele kube uhambo olungenazihibe ukusuka kwezokuthutha zasedolobheni ukuya emaveni/izitimela/izinkampani zezindiza, futhi indlela yokuhamba kufanele iphephe futhi ikhululeke. Uhlelo kufanele lubeke isivakashi eduze ngangokunokwenzeka endaweni ukuvikela ubunzima bokukhuphukela endaweni yokuvakasha ukusuka lapho behliswe khona. Izihlalo emabhasini, ezinqoleni zesitimela, nasezitimeleni kufanele zibe nengxenye egcinelwe isivakashi esiphezulu.
Indawo/indawo idinga ukuba nezindawo zokuphumula ezanele kanye nomthunzi kwabahambi abadala. Lokhu kubanika ikhefu njengoba ukukhathala kungena…empeleni, bonke abahambi bayakhathala futhi badinga ukuphumula.
Uhulumeni
Ihhovisi lezokuvakasha namasiko lalapho uya khona kufanele lisebenzisane nemikhakha yamahhotela/yezokuvakasha njengoba iyingxenye ebalulekile yesipiliyoni sokuhamba futhi ibe nethuba lokwenza ezokuvakasha eziphezulu zibe yibhizinisi eliwinayo, likhulise ingcebo yemboni yezokuvakasha yezwe lonke. .
Kubalulekile ukuthi abahlinzeki bezokuvakasha babe nokuqonda okuphelele kwalesi sigaba semakethe kanye nendlela esizoshintsha ngayo amaphethini okusetshenziswa esikhathini esizayo. Ukuntula ukuqonda izici nokukhathazeka kwabahambi abakhulu ngeke kusathethelelwa ngokuthi “sasingazi.”
Isiliva Tourism
Yonke ingxenye yemakethe kufanele igxile ephuzwini elilodwa: Khipha izinkathazo ekuhambeni. Njengoba abahambi bekhula, bafuna ukuphumula futhi bajabulele okuhlangenwe nakho - nazo zonke izingxenye zihlanganiswe kahle uchwepheshe. Lapho imboni empeleni ilalela lawa makhasimende angaba khona, izohlakulela ubudlelwano obubalulekile besikhathi eside.
