Ezokuvakasha ziletha izinzuzo zezomnotho edolobheni laseLaotian iLuang Prabang, inhloko-dolobha yezomoya, ezenkolo namasiko eLaos amakhulu eminyaka. Kepha njengoba ukwanda kwezentengiselwano, abanye bakhathazekile ukuthi idolobha lilahlekelwa ubunjalo balo.
Izinze ekujuleni komfula iMekong, iLuang Prabang yahlukaniswa nezwe amashumi eminyaka yempi nokuhlukaniswa kwezombusazwe. Njengoba ingxubevange yezindawo zokuhlala zendabuko zaseLao, izakhiwo zamakoloni zaseFrance nezigodlo zezindela ezingaphezu kuka-30, lonke leli dolobha lamenyezelwa njengeNdawo Yamagugu Omhlaba yi-UNESCO ngo-1995. Inhlangano yeZizwe Ezihlangene yalichaza ngokuthi “idolobha elilondolozwe kangcono kunawo wonke eNingizimu-mpumalanga ye-Asia.”
Lokho kwabeka uLuang Prabang ebalazweni labavakashi futhi kusukela lapho isibalo sabavakashi kuleli dolobha senyuke sisuka ezinkulungwaneni ezimbalwa ngo-1995 saya ngaphezu kuka-300,000 namuhla.
Njengoba amanani ezindlu ekhuphuka ngemuva kokungena kwezivakashi, abantu abaningi bendawo bathengise izakhiwo zabo kubathuthukisi bangaphandle abazenze amakhefi e-inthanethi, izindawo zokudlela kanye nezindlu zezivakashi.
Kepha ngenkathi ezokuvakasha zifaka imali nemisebenzi, ezinye izakhamizi zikhathazekile ngokuthi idolobha lisengozini yokulahlekelwa ubunjalo balo.
"Lapha, ukulondolozwa kwezakhiwo kube yimpumelelo, uma sikhuluma nje, kodwa ukulondolozwa komphefumulo wedolobha manje kuwusongo olukhulu," kusho uFrancis Engelmann, umlobi kanye nomxhumanisi we-UNESCO osehlale eLuang Prabang iminyaka engu-12. . “Iningi labantu abathanda iLuang Prabang liyayithanda ngoba iyindlela yokuphila ekhetheke kakhulu, isiko, indawo yenkolo, futhi lokhu kusongelwa ngoba okusekhona yizingxenye zayo ezithengiswa kakhulu kuphela.”
Isakhamuzi sesikhathi eside saseLuang Prabang u-Tara Gudjadar ungumxhumanisi woMnyango Wezokuvakasha waseLaos. Uthi ezokuvakasha ngobuningi zishintsha uLuang Prabang ngezindlela ezinhle nezimbi.
"Ezokuvakasha zingamandla okushintsha kwezomnotho e-Luang Prabang - ziguqula ngempela izimpilo zabantu abaningi lapha," kusho yena. “Babona amathuba, uyazi, ngezokuvakasha okungenzeka ukuthi abakaze bawabone. Kodwa-ke, kukhona izinguquko ezenzekayo emphakathini waseLuang Prabang lapho abantu bethuthela ngaphandle kwedolobha, noma bathanda ukuhweba, kunokuba nje bagxile emndenini. "
Njengoba abantu bendawo bedayisa futhi bephuma, ezinye izindela ziphoqeleke ukuthi zivalwe ngenxa yokuthi abantu abaningi abafikayo abawasekeli izindela, ezithembele emphakathini ngokudla.
Omunye umthombo wokungeneliseki wukungawahloniphi kwezivakashi amasiko enkolo yedolobha - ikakhulukazi umcimbi wansuku zonke wokuphana izipho lapho izindela ziqoqa ukudla kwabathembekile.
Lapho izindela zisuka ezigodini zazo zezindela njalo ekuseni kufanele zixoxisane ngendlela yazo ngokusebenzisa uchungechunge lwezithombe ezikhanyayo namakhamera evidiyo.
Kodwa ukunikeza izipho kuwumkhosi onesizotha wamaBuddha, kusho uNithakhong Tiao Somsanith, inhloko yePuang Champ Cultural House ezama ukulondoloza amagugu amasiko aleli dolobha.
“Incazelo yokupha [izipho] ekuseni kakhulu kuwumkhuba wokuzindla eBuddhism, nokuthobeka, kanye nokwehlukana. Akuwona umbukiso – yimpilo yansuku zonke yezindela,” usho kanje. “Kanjalo sidinga inhlonipho. Akuyona i-safari, izindela azizona izinyathi, izindela azilona iqembu lezinkawu.
Abavakashi kufanele baqhele emcimbini wokupha izipho, kusho uFrancis Engelmann.
“Uma ungeyena umBuddha, uma ungalikholelwa iqiniso lobuBuddha noma ungeyona ingxenye yale nkolo, ungakwenzi! Libuke likude, uthule; ihloniphe, njengoba ungawuhlonipha umcimbi wobuKristu esontweni - noma ethempelini - ezweni lasentshonalanga," kusho yena.
Abantu abaningi bangaphandle basho amathonya amaningi angaphandle, futhi ezinye izakhamuzi zikhathazekile ngokuthi abantu abasha baseLuang Prabang balahlekelwa ubunikazi babo, kusho uTara Gudgadar.
“Abantu bakhathazekile ngokushintsha kwezenhlalo, uyazi, lapho kungena izivakashi nabakwamanye amazwe,” kusho yena. “Ngingaphikisa ngokuthi akubona abantu bakwamanye amazwe abashintsha lokho, kodwa ngokuvamile ukuhwebelana kwedolobha. Ezokuvakasha zingenisa imali futhi kusobala ukuthi abantu baxhumeke kakhulu emhlabeni wonke manje kunaseminyakeni eyi-10 edlule. "
Kuyo yonke iLaos, ezokuvakasha zikhuphuke ngamaphesenti angama-36.5 ngonyaka wezi-2007, uma kuqhathaniswa no-2006, nezivakashi ezingaphezu kwezigidi eziyi-1.3 ezinyangeni eziyi-10 zokuqala zonyaka, ngokusho kwePacific Asia Travel Association.
Futhi yize isimo esibucayi somnotho emhlabeni wonke singanciphisa lezo zibalo esikhathini esifushane, ochwepheshe bathi izinombolo zezivakashi eLuang Prabang zizoqhubeka nokukhula ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.
Ukuthi lokho ekugcineni kuhle noma kubi ku-Luang Prabang kusavulekele impikiswano. Kodwa-ke abantu abaningi lapha bayavuma ukuthi izinyathelo eziphuthumayo ziyadingeka uma idolobha lizovikela isiko eliyingqayizivele elidonsa izivakashi eziningi kwasekuqaleni.
