Ezokuvakasha zaseTanzania zibhekene nenkinga yamanani entengo edala ukukhungatheka kwemboni eyizigidigidi ezifuna ukukhula ngokweqile.
Abadlali ababalulekile bathi yize abanikazi bezokuvakasha bevame ukubala amanani entengo yamaholide ephakethe ngokuya ngemikhuba yezimakethe, izinqubomgomo zezwe azihambisani futhi kube yimbangela yokushintshashintsha kwamanani.
"Uhulumeni uvame ukushintsha umthetho wakhe wentela ngeso lengqondo ukukhulisa imali ayitholayo, engazi nje ukuthi lesi sinyathelo sithinta kakhulu intengo yephakethe lamaholide, ngaleyo ndlela sidikibalise inani lezivakashi," kusho uchwepheshe wezokuvakasha ongumakadebona, uLeopold Kabendera.
Ezindla ngenqubomgomo kazwelonke yezokuvakasha ka-1999, ehlelwe yiTanzania Association of Tour Operators (TATO) kanye nohulumeni ngomsebenzi wokwakhiwa kwamakhono e-USAID PROTECT, uMnu Kabendera wathi inqubomgomo entsha kufanele iqinisekise uzinzo emananini entengo yezokuvakasha.
I-USAID PROTECT njengamanje ixhasa ngemali iphrojekthi yokwakha amakhono yeTATO emizameni yayo yakamuva yokuqinisekisa ukuthi le nhlangano iba yi-flamboyant advocate agency embonini yezokuvakasha.
“Ezokuvakasha ziyimboni entekenteke kakhulu, ngakho-ke, idinga inqubomgomo ezinzile. Ngeshwa, ezweni lethu, noma nini lapho kukhona uhulumeni omusha, izinqubomgomo ziyashintsha futhi zithinte kakhulu imboni, ”kuphawula uCharles Mpanda weTanganyika Ancient Routes.
NgoJulayi 2017, iTanzania yafaka iValue Added Tax (VAT) emisebenzini yezokuvakasha, yaphoqa ukuthi iphakethe lezokuvakasha kuleli libize ngaphezu kwamaphesenti angama-25 kuneminikelo efanayo evela esifundeni.
I-TATO, emele amalungu angama-330, ixwayise ngokuthi i-VAT ibizokwenza isimo sezwe sibe sibi kakhulu njengendawo ebiza kakhulu uma iqhathaniswa nezimbangi zayo ezinokuheha okufanayo.
Imininingwane etholakalayo ikhombisa ukuthi ngaphambi kwe-VAT, iTanzania yayiyindawo ebiza kakhulu ngamaphesenti ayi-7, ngenxa yentela eminingi ebhekene nomkhakha wamabhiliyoni ama- $ 2.
Abaqhubi bezokuvakasha eTanzania bakhokhiswa intela ehlukene engama-32, ezili-12 kuyimali yokubhaliswa kwebhizinisi nezimali zamalayisense okulawula kanye nemisebenzi engu-11 yemoto ngayinye yabavakashi ngonyaka kanye nezinye eziyi-9.
Impikiswano yeTATO yayiwukuthi yize ezokuvakasha kungukuthumela ngaphandle, futhi njengezinye izinsizakalo zokuthekelisa zifanelekela ukukhululwa ku-VAT noma ukukalwa okungu-zero, abahlinzeki bezokuvakasha kanye nama-ejensi wezokuvakasha yizinsizakalo "ezingabalamuli" okuvamisile ukuthi azikho ngaphansi kwe-VAT.
Njengokungathi lokho kwakunganele, kusuka ngoDisemba 1, 2017, iNgorongoro Conservation Area Authority (NCAA) iphoqelele imali entsha yemvume engu- $ 50 (i-VAT kuphela) isivakashi ngasinye ebusuku esikhokhelwa amahhotela, izindawo zokulala, amakamu anamatende waphakade, nanoma iyiphi indawo yokuhlala kwezokuvakasha indawo ngaphakathi kwendawo efanele.
Ngasohlangothini lwakhe, isikhulu esiphezulu seTATO, uMnu Sirili Akko uthe kuyadabukisa ukuthi eTanzania amanani ezokuvakasha akhuphuka lapho isidingo sehla, uphawu olucacile lokuthi imikhakha kahulumeni kanye nezinkampani ezizimele azihambi ngendlela efanayo.
UNgqongqoshe Wezemvelo Nezokuvakasha, uDkt Hamis Kigwangalla, uthe lolu daba luphakathi kwezinye esezenze idokodo lakhe ukuze kulungiswe inqubomgomo kazwelonke yezokuvakasha ukuze kubhekwane nezinguquko zakuleli nezomhlaba jikelele.
"Njengongqongqoshe obhekele ezokuvakasha, ngibambe iqhaza ezinkampanini ezizimele ngamabomu ukuze zithole uvo lwazo ukuze uhlelo lukhombise izidingo zamanje zebhizinisi," kusho uDkt. Kigwangalla. eTurboNews.
Enkulumweni yakhe, uMxhumanisi weNational Tourism Review 1999, uProfesa Samwel Wangwe, uthe into ebalulekile ebambe iqhaza ekutheni kube khona umbono wenqubomgomo ukuzibophezela kukahulumeni ekubeni yizwe elinemali ephakathi nokufeza uguquko kwezomnotho ngokusebenzisa izinhlelo zezimboni.

Leyo mikhakha ifaka phakathi: ezolimo, ezokukhiqiza, ezokuthutha kanye nezokuxhumana, ezezimali kanye nezohwebo, nemvelo nezinsiza zemvelo. Izinguquko ezenziwe kulezi zinqubomgomo zemikhakha, ngakho-ke, zidinga ukubhekwa kwinqubomgomo yezokuvakasha, ”kusho uSolwazi Wangwe etshela abezokuvakasha.
Esinye isizathu esinamandla sokubuyekezwa kwe-NTP 1999 intuthuko entsha kwezobuchwepheshe njengokuxhumana, ezokuthutha, nokuphathwa kwemithombo yemvelo kanye nokuqeqeshwa nokwakhiwa kwamakhono okwenza ukuthi kube nesidingo sokuzivumelanisa nalezo zinguquko kwezobuchwepheshe nokuzamukela kwezokuvakasha umkhakha wokutholwa kwedatha nokuphathwa kolwazi, ukwenza lula ukufinyelela kwabavakashi kulwazi nokwenza izinkokhelo ezifika ngesikhathi.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukuguquka kwezimakethe zezokuvakasha kusho isidingo semikhiqizo nezinsizakalo ezintsha ukufanisa okulindelwe nezidingo zabavakashi.
Ngokuhambisana nomkhiqizo omusha, uhulumeni ubelokhu esekela izinguquko ukwenza ngcono indawo yebhizinisi kwezokuvakasha ukuze kuzuzwe imboni yezokuvakasha enokuncintisana okukhulu.

Okokugcina, ukubuyekezwa kwenqubomgomo kufanele kuvumele ukuthuthukiswa kwamasu aqinisekisa ukuthi ezokuvakasha eTanzania zisuselwa emazingeni omhlaba futhi zihlala zincintisana kakhulu, ”kuchaza uSolwazi Wangwe.
