"Ekugcineni, lesi Sikhungo sizoba yingxenye ebalulekile yokuthuthukiswa kwezokuvakasha okusimeme futhi siqinisekise ukuthi ezokuvakasha zomhlaba wonke ziyakwazi ukuzivumelanisa nezimo futhi zibhekane nokungaqiniseki kwemvelo yangaphakathi nangaphandle," kusho uMhlonishwa u-Edmund Bartlett.
Isungulwe ngonyaka we-2017 futhi yagcinwa e-The University of the West Indies, inhloso ye-Global Tourism Resilience and Crisis Management Centre ifaka phakathi ukusiza izindawo zokuvakasha zomhlaba wonke ngokuzilungiselela ukuya khona, ukuphatha nokuphulukisa ekuphazamisekeni kanye / noma ezinkingeni ezithinta ezokuvakasha nezisongela umnotho nempilo emhlabeni jikelele. I-GTRCMC inamahhovisi eCaribbean, e-Afrika, naseMedithera kanye nababambisene nabo emazweni angaphezu kwama-42.
Amazwi kaNgqongqoshe uBartlett abiwe lapha:
Eminyakeni emithathu edlule, ngacabanga nge-Global Tourism Resilience and Crisis Management Centre (GTRCMC) esikhungweni UNWTO's Global Conference on Sustainable Development eyabanjelwa e-Montego Bay, Jamaica, ngo-November 2017. Ukusungulwa okuhlongozwayo kwe-Resilience Centre kubonise ikhwelo lokuba ababambe iqhaza kwezokuvakasha emhlabeni wonke baphendule ngokubambisana, phakathi nendawo, nangokwesikhungo ezinhlobonhlobo zendabuko nezingezona. -izinsongo zendabuko ebezilokhu zithunaza ezokuvakasha emhlabeni jikelele. Igunya leSikhungo bekuwukwakha izinqubomgomo, izinsizakusebenza, kanye nemihlahlandlela eklanyelwe ukuthuthukisa amandla ezindawo zokuvakasha ezisengozini emhlabeni wonke ukuze kuncishiswe izinhlekelele kanye nokulawula imizamo yokulungisa isimo ngemva kwezinhlekelele.
Ukukhulisa ukufinyeleleka komhlaba jikelele kweResilience Centre, isinqumo sathathwa yiBhodi yalesi Sikhungo ukusungula izikhungo ezine zeSathelayithi ezizosebenzela izifunda ezihlukene kanye nezifunda ezingaphansi komhlaba. Amabili kulawo maSatellite Centres asevele avulwa eKenya eKenyatta University naseNepal ngezinhlelo eseziqalile zokusungula ezinye eHong Kong, Japan naseSeychelles. Ngijabule kakhulu ngokusungulwa kwalesi Satellite Centre eKenyatta University. Kuzoba yinto ebalulekile ekuthuthukiseni ukuqiniswa kwezokuvakasha kanye nokusimama ezindaweni eziya eMpumalanga Afrika. Ngenxa yokusungulwa kwaleli qophelo lokuthuthukisa, ukuxhumanisa, nokuxhasa imizamo yokwakha nokuqina, ezokuvakasha eMpumalanga Afrika manje zisesimweni esingcono sokubuyela emuva ngokushesha ngemuva kwemicimbi ephazamisayo.
Njengoba umhlaba njengamanje ubhekene nobhadane lwe-COVID-19, kubalulekile ukuthi wazi ukuthi le nkinga kungenzeka ukuthi ibe ngeyokugcina yalolu hlobo kuzo zombili izilinganiso nomthelela. Sekuyiminyaka eminingi ngixwayisa ukuthi izinsongo ezifana nobhadane nezifo eziwumshayabhuqe, imithelela yokuguquka kwesimo sezulu, kanye nezindaba zokuphepha kwe-cyber kuzoba yinto ejwayelekile ezweni eliya liguquka ngokushesha futhi liya ngokuya lixhuma. Njengoba lezi zinsongo ziba yinto evame kakhulu, ukuqiniswa kwezokuvakasha kuzothatha ukugqama okukhulu ukuqinisekisa ukuthi ezokuvakasha zomhlaba wonke ziyakwazi ukuzivumelanisa nezimo futhi ziphendule ukungaqiniseki kwemvelo yangaphakathi nangaphandle. Ekugcineni, lesi Sikhungo sizoba yingqophamlando yokuthuthukiswa kwezokuvakasha okusimeme.
Njengoba sibheke esikhathini esizayo, i-GTRCMC izoqhubeka nokuqinisa ukusebenzisana nenethiwekhi yabalingani basekhaya, besifunda, nabamazwe omhlaba ukunciphisa umthelela wobhubhane ezindaweni eziya ezindaweni kanye nokuthola amasu asebenzayo okululama kwabo nokwenza ngcono ukulungela kwabo ukuphendula ukushaqeka okuzayo. Esikhathini esiseduze nesibonakalayo, iSikhungo kuzodingeka ukuthi sidlale indima ebaluleke kakhulu ekusekeleni ukuphathwa kwezinhlekelele emhlabeni, ukunciphisa, kanye nemizamo yokuthola kabusha emkhakheni wezokuvakasha. Kungumsebenzi ukuthi lesi Sikhungo sikuthathe ngokungathi sína kakhulu, futhi sihlose ukuqinisa ubudlelwano obukhona kanye nokwakha obusha ngenhloso enkulu yokuqinisekisa imboni yezokuvakasha eshesha kakhulu, eguquguqukayo, neqinisayo esikhathini sangemva kwe-COVID. Izinhlelo zethu ezisheshayo zibandakanya ukukhipha izinto ezintsha ezahlukahlukene, amathuluzi wamathuluzi, kanye nezinsizakusebenza zolwazi ukusiza izindawo zomhlaba jikelele ukuzulazula kule nkathi enzima.
Ngicabanga ukuthi lesi sithangami sizohlinzeka ngokushintshisana ngolwazi okuwusizo ezindabeni ezinjengemikhuba emihle ekwakheni ukuqina kwezokuvakasha; izinhlaka zokuqinisa, ukuvumelanisa, nokusebenzisana kwamasu wokuqina kwezokuvakasha esifundeni sonke; ukusebenza kwamamodeli amasha ezokuvakasha angaboshiwe kangako ezimakethe zangaphandle; ukusetshenziswa kwezinto ezintsha nobuchwepheshe emizamweni yokunciphisa nokuphendula; ukubaluleka kwezinhlelo zokucwaninga, ukuqeqesha nokuxhasa ngezimali; kanye neqhaza lobambiswano olujulile lomphakathi nolwangasese phakathi kwezinye izindaba ezifanele. Njengosihlalo obambisene we-GTRCMC, ngijabule ukuhlanganyela kulolu phiko futhi nginethemba ngohambo oluzayo.
