Ukuvakasha kanye nezokuvakasha: ubunye ngokuhlukahluka esikhathini sokuhwebelana kwembulunga yonke

Iqhaza lezokuvakasha ekulondolozeni ukwehlukahlukana kanye nokukhuthaza ukuqondana kwamazwe ngamazwe laliphakathi kwezingxoxo ze-Think Tank zoSuku Lomhlaba Lwezokuvakasha Lonyaka mayelana nendikimba ka-2009 ethi “Tourism – Celebrating Diversity.” I-Think Tank ibe umvuthwandaba womgubho osemthethweni woSuku Lwezokuvakasha Lomhlaba obanjelwe e-Accra, eGhana, futhi yahlanganisa ochwepheshe abaphambili bamazwe ngamazwe, abenzi benqubomgomo yezokuvakasha, kanye nabezindaba abakhethekile. IThink Tank ibiholwa nguMhlonishwa. UNksz Juliana Azumah Mensah (MP), uNgqongqoshe Wezokuvakasha waseGhana, kanye noMnu. Taleb Rifai, UNWTO UNobhala-Jikelele wesikhashana.

IThink Tank ibijikeleza izikhathi ezintathu - Ukwehlukahlukana, ukuSatshalaliswa koMhlaba kanye nezokuVakasha, kanye nokwehluka kwamasiko nezemvelo kanye nezokuVakasha nokuVakasha ukuqinisa ubudlelwane phakathi kwezizwe. Ababambe iqhaza eThink Tank bagxile endimeni yezokuvakasha ekulondolozeni nasekulondolozeni ukwehlukahlukana, kanye nokukhuthaza ukubambisana kwamazwe omhlaba, konke esimweni sokusheshisa ukuhwebelana kwembulunga yonke namasiko.

Ngalesi sizathu, iziphetho zigcizelele isidingo sokuvikela ukwehluka njengempahla yezomnotho kanye nokukhuthaza osomabhizinisi kwezokuvakasha, kanye nesakhiwo sokwazisana kwamazwe omhlaba okhulayo womhlaba jikelele. Enye yezinselelo ezinkulu ezikhonjwe yiThink Tank bekuwukukhulisa izinzuzo ezivela kwezokuvakasha zamazwe omhlaba kanye nokutshalwa kwezimali okuhlobene nezokuvakasha kwemiphakathi yasendaweni nokuqinisekisa ukuthi imali engenayo ibuyiselwa ekukhuthazeni umsebenzi ohloniphekile nokwandisa imizamo yentuthuko esimeme. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kwagcizelelwa ukuthi indebe yomhlaba yebhola lezinyawo ye-FIFA yowezi-2010 imele ithuba eliyingqayizivele lokuba izwekazi lase-Afrika lethule ukwehlukahlukana kwalo okungafani kwamasiko nemvelo futhi livune izinzuzo zokuvakasha kwamazwe omhlaba maqondana nokuchayeka komhlaba wonke okungenakulinganiswa nemizamo yokutshala izimali ukwenza ngcono ingqalasizinda jikelele.

- Ekuboneni ukubaluleka kokwehlukahlukana kwamasiko, imiphakathi yasendaweni kanye nabantu okuyibona abangaba ngabagcini bezinhlobonhlobo zendawo, ngakho-ke, kwengcebo yomphakathi njengoba ukuthuthuka kwembulunga yonke kuqhubekela phambili. Umphakathi wamazwe omhlaba uya ngokuya wazi ngobungozi kumasiko owethulwe ukuhwebelana kwembulunga yonke njengoba kukhonjisiwe kwiMillennium Development Goals, ukuhweba ngezinhlelo zosizo, kanye nempendulo yokuguquka kwesimo sezulu emhlabeni jikelele.

- Ebusweni bembulunga yonke kanye nokwehlukahlukana, amazwe ngamanye aqala ukubhekana neqiniso lezindaba, elivumela kuphela imizuzu embalwa ukukhuthaza amasiko endabuko. Ukuxhumana kwezokuvakasha kungasekela ukubekwa kwezindawo ngendlela esimeme, kudlulele ngale kwezindlela zesikhashana, ezikhawulelwe ikakhulu emikhankasweni yezikhangiso. Ngaphezu kwalokho, abezindaba banendima ebalulekile abangayidlala njengomthombo wemfundo wokudlulisa imikhuba emihle kakhulu.

– Ubumbano ngokwehlukahlukana, njengePan-Africanism, luyisibonelo sokudidiyelwa kwesifunda ukuze kwenziwe umsebenzi womhlaba wonke. UNWTO isebenza ngayo le ndlela ihlinzeka ngenkundla yokuxoxisana ngendlela ye-Visitafrica.travel, exhumene ne-FIFA 2010, ezohlinzeka amazwe ase-Afrika enye ishaneli yewebhu ukuze asebenzise wonke u-2010 ngokuhlanganyela ukukhuthaza imizamo yomuntu ngamunye yokugubha iNdebe Yomhlaba. I-FIFA 2010 imele ithuba lokuvuna izinzuzo kuyo yonke i-Afrika - ingagcini eNingizimu Afrika, ebeka inkundla yemicimbi kulo lonke izwekazi.

- Ukwehlukahlukana kwamasiko nobuzwe kuyizakhi zokwakha ukuqonda komhlaba wonke. Njengomsebenzi owenziwa kubantu ngabantu, ezokuvakasha zingamandla afundisayo, athuthukisa ukuqonda nokwazisa ngakho-ke iyinjini ekuthuthukiseni ukuqonda kwamazwe omhlaba.

Uma sibheka phambili, i-World Tourism Think Tank yangowezi-2009 yagcizelela isidingo sokuthi imboni ihlangane ukuze iqalise ukusabela ngokuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu ngendlela efanele futhi ibandakanyeke ekushintsheni emnothweni oluhlaza. Kanjalo, UNWTOI-Roadmap for Recovery - izodalulwa futhi kuxoxwe ngayo esikhathini esizayo UNWTO I-General Assembly e-Astana, e-Kazakhstan - iza ngesikhathi esifanele sokubeka ezokuvakasha njengemboni, edala amathuba emisebenzi futhi ehlinzeka ngesisekelo sentuthuko esimeme, kanye nokudlala indima ebalulekile ekuguquleni umnotho obhekelela imvelo. Imephu yomgwaqo ngokungangabazeki izofaka isandla ezinseleleni zokubeka uhambo nezokuvakasha ku-ajenda yezepolitiki yomhlaba wonke.

Mayelana nezenzo ezibambekayo, abahlanganyeli be-Think Tank bacele umkhakha wezokuvakasha nokuvakasha ukuthi ulwe nokuthambekela kohulumeni abaningi ekusebenziseni izintela ezintsha egameni lemvelo. Nakuba lezi zinyathelo zingase zihumushele emalini yezepolitiki yasekhaya, ziphinde zivimbele ukuhamba kwamazwe ngamazwe, ikakhulukazi ezimakethe ezisathuthuka. Izithiyo zezimali zokuhamba ezifana nalezi zinomthelela omubi emnothweni wasekhaya oncike egaleloni lezomnotho lezokuvakasha zamazwe ngamazwe. UNWTO igcizelele isidingo sokuqhubekisela phambili ukuqaliswa kweNqubo ye-Davos, efuna lo mkhakha wehlise ukukhishwa kwekhabhoni, uvumelane nezimo zezulu ezishintshayo, usebenzise ubuchwepheshe obukhona nobusha ukuze kuthuthukiswe ukonga kukagesi, kanye nokuvikela izinsiza zezimali ukusiza izifunda namazwe ampofu.
