- Okuncamelayo kwabathengi kushintshela kumaholide okubhuka ngokuqondile
- U-39% wabaphenduli kunhlolovo uthe ngokuvamile bazobhukha uhambo ngokuqondile
- U-17% wabaphenduli kunhlolovo uthe bazokhetha ama-OTA namasayithi okuqhathanisa amanani
Inhlolovo yakamuva yemboni yezokuvakasha iveze ukushintsha kokuncamelayo abathengi ngamaholide okubhukha ngokuqondile, esikhundleni sokudlula ejensi yezokuvakasha ku-inthanethi (i-OTA).
Isamba esingu-39% sabaphendulile sithe ngokuvamile bazobhukha ngokuqondile, kulandele u-17% abakhethe ama-OTA namasayithi okuqhathanisa amanani.
Abahlaziyi baphawula ukuthi lolu shintsho alumangazi, uma kubhekwa ukukhansela okuvumelana nezimo kanye nezinqubomgomo zokubuyiselwa kwemali eziqondile ezinikezwa ngokubhukha ngokuqondile.
Lo bhubhane udale ushintsho olukhulu emikhubeni yokubhukha abathengi. Inhlolovo yangaphambilini ku-Q3 2019 ibonise ukuthi ama-OTA abeyinketho yokubhuka edume kakhulu, elandelwa ukubhuka okuqondile nehhotela noma inkampani yezindiza. Kodwa-ke, amanye ama-OTA abambezeleke kakhulu ukukhipha izimbuyiselo futhi athole ukucindezela okubi ngenxa yalokho. Lokhu kwehlise ukuzethemba kwabahambi ukuthi babhukhe ngabalamuli.
Iziteshi zokubhuka eziqondile kungenzeka zibe nokwanda kokuduma ngenxa yobuthaka bokubhukha uhambo kulesi simo samanje. Abahambi manje bafisa izinga eliphakeme kakhulu lokuvumelana nezimo, futhi akumangalisi ukuthi imigomo eguquguqukayo yeziteshi zokubhuka eziqondile, izinguquko ezilula nokubuyiselwa kwemali okusheshayo kuwina abahambi.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, amandla okwenza izinguquko ku-inthanethi abuyisela amandla ezandleni zomhambi futhi aqondise yonke inqubo. Ngokubhuka ngokuqondile, umhambi unqamula umuntu ophakathi, asheshise kakhulu inqubo yoshintsho/ukubuyisela imali, futhi andise ukwaneliseka kwakhe.
Amanye ama-OTA abambezelekile ukubuyisela imali, futhi izindaba ezimbi ezitholiwe azizange zisize ukuzethemba kwabahambi. Eqinisweni, kwezinye izimo, i- UK I-Competition and Markets Authority isabise ngokuthatha izinyathelo ezingokomthetho ngaphandle kwalapho i-ejensi yezokuvakasha ku-inthanethi ihlangabezana nomugqa wesikhathi wokubuyiselwa kwemali wezinsuku eziyi-14.
Ukuzethemba emandleni e-OTA okukhipha imbuyiselo kuye kwavala ukuzethemba ngokushesha. Izimpendulo ezihamba kancane ziye zakhungathekisa ngendlela emangalisayo futhi zibangele ukugudluka kancane kule ndlela yokubhuka.
