Inhlolovo eyenziwa yiTravel Leaders Network yamalungu ayo iveza ukuthi abangaphezu kwengxenye eyodwa kwezintathu base bevele bafake isicelo semalimboleko ye-PPP njengoba kugunyazwe ngaphansi koMthetho we-CARES, kodwa u-94.8% ubike ukuthi awutholanga imvume noma uxhaso. I-Travel Leaders Network iyinkampani enkulu yezokuvakasha eNyakatho Melika futhi imele abeluleki bezokuvakasha abacishe babe ngu-55,000.

“Iningi labeluleki ngezokuvakasha ngosomabhizinisi abancane abasebenza emadolobheni amakhulu namancane kuzo zonke izifunda zakuleli, kusukela eMiami, eFlorida, eTacoma, eWashington, kusukela eNew York City kuya eSan Francisco, futhi amabhizinisi abo ashayeke kanzima ngoba cha. umuntu uyahamba njengamanje,” kusho uRoger E.

“Kudingeka kakhulu ukuvikela amaholo kubaluleki bezohambo, abasebhizinisini elenziwa ikhomishana elikhokhelwa kuphela ngemuva kosuku lokuhamba, okuphazamisa ukuhamba kwemali kanye nekhono labanikazi bama-ejensi ukuthi bakwazi ukukhokhela abasebenzi uma abantu bengekho. ,” kwengeza u-Block. “Lo mkhakha uzosimama, kodwa ngokuhamba kancane kunendawo yokudlela noma indawo yokwenza izinwele ezoba nemali uma nje umuntu ekhokha. Kodwa izikhungo zezokuvakasha zingabaxhumanisi phakathi kweklayenti kanye nehhotela noma umqhubi wezivakashi noma i-cruise line nenkampani yezindiza. Ama-ejensi wezokuvakasha angezinye zezimboni ezimbalwa ezingakhokhelwa ngesikhathi sokubhuka kohambo, kodwa esikhundleni salokho ngemva kokuba isihambi sihamba ngohambo lwaso. Yingakho izinhlelo zokusiza ngezezimali zibaluleke kakhulu ekusebenzeni kwesikhathi eside kwezinye izikhungo zenethiwekhi yethu ezibone ukwehla kwemali engenayo ngamaphesenti angama-70, 80 kanye nama-90 emasontweni ambalwa edlule.”
