The Umkhandlu Wezwe Wokuvakasha Nezokuvakasha (WTTC), emele imboni ezimele yezokuvakasha nezokuvakasha emhlabeni jikelele, namuhla ikhiphe umbiko wayo ophelele wamaDolobha ka-2019, oveza ukuthi iNyakatho Melika inikela ngamaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-686.6 (25%) ku-GDP yomhlaba wonke ye-Travel & Tourism.
Ngokugxila ezindaweni ezingama-73 zamadolobha ezokuvakasha ezinkulu, umbiko uhlinzeka ngezilinganiso ze-GDP kanye nokuqashwa okukhiqizwa ngokuqondile umkhakha Wezokuvakasha Nezokuvakasha, futhi ugqamisa imizamo eyimpumelelo, amasu nezinqubomgomo eseziqalisiwe.
Lo mbiko uveza ukuthi amadolobha amaningi kulo lonke elaseNyakatho Melika enza umnikelo obalulekile ku-GDP yedolobha iyonke, kanti umkhakha weCancun's Travel & Tourism unikele cishe ingxenye (46.8%), kanti iLas Vegas inikele ngaphezu kwekota (27.4%).
Emadolobheni angu-10 aphezulu kulesi sigaba, iLas Vegas ilandelwa yi-Orlando, enikela ngokuqondile u-19.8% ku-GDP yedolobha iyonke.
Umbiko wamaDolobha ukhombisa ukuthi lawa madolobha angama-73 enza amabhiliyoni angama-691 e-GDP ye-Travel & Tourism eqondile, emele ama-25% e-GDP eqondile yomhlaba yomkhakha futhi enze imisebenzi engaphezu kwezigidi eziyi-17. Ukwengeza, ngo-2018, i-GDP eqondile ye-Travel & Tourism kuwo wonke amadolobha, ikhule ngo-3.6%, ngaphezu kokukhula komnotho wedolobha lonke ngo-3.0%. Amadolobha amakhulu ayi-10 amakhulu omnikelo oqondile Wokuhamba Nezokuvakasha ku-GDP yedolobha ahlanganisa i-Orlando ($26.3 billion), New York ($26 billion) kanye neMexico City ($24.6 billion).
Ukusetshenziswa kwemali kwezivakashi zamazwe ngamazwe ngokuvamile kubaluleke kakhulu emadolobheni kunokuba kubaluleke kakhulu emazweni wonkana. Amadolobha amabili kwayishumi aphezulu okusetshenziswa kwemali izivakashi zamazwe ngamazwe ayeseNyakatho Melika, lapho izivakashi zamazwe ngamazwe ezivakashele eNew York zisebenzisa u-$10BN kanti ezaseMiami zisebenzisa u-$21 billion.
Ukuthuthukiswa kwengqalasizinda kanye nokubeka eqhulwini ezokuvakasha kube yimbangela eyinhloko yokukhula kwe-Travel & Tourism. Imali engenayo evela kubavakashi bamazwe ngamazwe ngezinye izikhathi izokhokhela imiklamo yengqalasizinda yedolobha, ukuhlinzekwa kwabasebenzi bakahulumeni kanye nezinsizakalo ezithuthukisa izinga lempilo yezakhamuzi. Isibonelo, imali echithwe isivakashi samazwe ngamazwe eNew York ngonyaka odlule yayiphezulu ngokuphindwe ngo-3.8 kunezindleko ze-NYPD, futhi cishe kabili isabelomali sezikole zasemadolobheni.
Okuphawulekayo, amadolobha amane kwangu-10 aphezulu emali esetshenziswa izivakashi zasekhaya akulesi sifunda, kanti i-Orlando ithatha indawo yesithathu ngo-$40.7 billion bese iLas Vegas isendaweni yesithupha ngo-$29.3 billion. Ihlezi endaweni yesishiyagalombili, ukusetshenziswa kwezimali kwasekhaya eNew York kufinyelele ku-$25.3 bhiliyoni, kuyilapho eMexico City kufinyelele ku-$16 billion.
Kodwa-ke, uma kucutshungulwa ukusetshenziswa kwasekhaya ngamaphesenti, ukuvakasha kwasekhaya e-Chicago kumele ingxenye enkulu yamadolobha aseNyakatho Melika ahlaziywe embikweni ku-88.3%, ilandelwa iMexico City ngama-87.2%.
Amadolobha athembele kakhulu esidingweni sasekhaya noma samazwe ngamazwe angachayeka kakhudlwana ezinkingeni zezomnotho nezezwe. Isibonelo, amadolobha amakhulu athembele kakhulu esidingweni sasekhaya angachayeka ezinguqukweni emnothweni wasekhaya. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, amadolobha athembele kakhulu esidingweni samazwe ngamazwe kanye/noma izimakethe zemithombo ethile angase abe sengcupheni yokuphazamiseka kwangaphandle. Lo mbiko uqokomisa amadolobha amaningana abonisa ukuhlukana okunokulinganisela phakathi kwesidingo sasekhaya nesamazwe ngamazwe, lokhu kuhlanganisa amadolobha amabili aseNyakatho Melika: iSan Francisco neNew York. Ngokuphambene, amadolobha aseNyakatho Melika afana ne-Orlando ne-Las Vegas anoqhekeko oluhlanekezelwe, futhi ngaphezu kuka-85% wemali echithwayo ivela kubavakashi basekhaya kuwo womabili amadolobha.
Isithombe Somhlaba Wonke
Njengoba ngaphezu kwesigamu (55%) senani labantu bomhlaba abahlala emadolobheni - lokhu kungenxa yokwenyuka kwamaphesenti angama-68 kule minyaka engama-30 ezayo - amadolobha asephenduke izizinda zokukhula komnotho emhlabeni jikelele kanye nokusungula izinto ezintsha, kuyilapho eheha abantu abaningi abafuna hlala futhi wenze ibhizinisi lapho.
Umbiko uveza ukuthi lawa madolobha angama-73 enza imali eyizigidigidi ezingama- $691 ku-GDP eqondile ye-Travel & Tourism, emele ama-25% e-GDP eqondile yomhlaba yomkhakha futhi edala imisebenzi engaphezu kwezigidi eziyi-17.

WTTC UMongameli kanye ne-CEO, uGloria Guevara uthe:
“Amadolobha aseNyakatho Melika ashiwo kulo mbiko amele ngokuphelele isifunda, namadolobha amakhulu kulo lonke elase-US, Mexico naseCanada abonisa ukubaluleka okubalulekile umkhakha Wezokuvakasha Nokuvakasha onawo emiphakathini futhi anikeza izibonelo ezengeziwe ezindaweni ezifana nezinqubo ezingcono kakhulu zokusimeme. ukukhula, ukuqina kanye nokuphatha indawo okuyiwa kuyo."
“Ukuzuza ukukhula okusimeme emadolobheni kudinga ukufinyelela kude nomkhakha ngokwawo, kanye nohlelo olubanzi lwamadolobha. Ukuze kuthuthukiswe umthelela wezomnotho wangempela ongahumusheka kalula ezinzuzweni zomphakathi, idolobhakazi kufanele lixoxisane nabo bonke ababambiqhaza, kuwo wonke umkhakha kahulumeni kanye nezizimele, ukuze kusungulwe amadolobha esikhathi esizayo.”
