Kubantu abangaphezu kwe-6,000 abavela kumazwe asithoba ababuzwayo, iipesenti ezingama-97 zathi ukhuseleko luqwalaselo xa usenza isigqibo sokuhamba. Oku kuyasebenza naxa sele bebhukhile uhambo kwaye bephazanyiswe ziindaba zamva nje. Oku kwaxelwa kwi-ITB Future Day kwi-ITB Berlin Convention nguRichard Singer, ilungu lebhodi le-Travelzoo yaseYurophu, ngokubhekiselele kwiziphumo zeprojekthi yophando lwehlabathi malunga nokhuseleko lokuhamba. Umnyhadala wawunesihloko esithi “Ukhuseleko lokuHamba: Uloyiko kunye neeNjongo zokuPhila zabakhenkethi beHlabathi”. Iipesenti ezilishumi elinesibini zabaphulaphuli zinike iimpendulo ezichanekileyo kwi-poll ye-TED ekuqaleni komsitho, kodwa uninzi lwayiqikelela.
Uphononongo malunga noKhuseleko kunye noKhuseleko olugunyaziswe ngokubambisana ne-ITB Berlin, inkokeli yemarike yehlabathi i-Travelzoo isebenzisana neyunivesithi ehamba phambili yezokhenketho yaseBritane ukuvavanya iziphumo zeNorstat Research. Abathengi kwiimarike zokuhamba ezihamba phambili kwihlabathi, kubandakanya iYurophu, iJapan, uMzantsi Afrika, iIndiya kunye noMntla Melika, babuzwa.
Eyona nto yayibangela uloyiko olukhulu bubugrogrisi. Iimfuno zabo zokhuseleko zibaluleke kakhulu kubo kunonyaka we-benchmark ka-2014. Bakwaxhalabile ngeentlekele zendalo, izifo kunye nolwaphulo-mthetho kwinqanaba lengingqi kunye nelizwe. Imiba yenziwa nzima ngakumbi "bubuso obutsha boloyiko", ngokukaRichard Singer. "Imisebenzi iyenzeka kwiindawo apho abantu baya khona kwaye bachithe ixesha labo."
Umculi waphakamisa ulwazi lweshishini lokuhamba kule miba: "Isiphumo kukuba abantu baziva bengakhuselekanga", kwaye le mvakalelo iyahluka ukusuka kwesinye isizwe ukuya kwesinye. Amazwe achaphazelekayo yiFransi kunye neJapan kunye ne-50 kunye ne-48 yeepesenti ngokulandelanayo. Esona sixeko sithathwa njengesona sikhuselekileyo emhlabeni yiSydney eOstreliya, ngokwahlukileyo kwi-Istanbul, apho abo babubuzwayo bavakalelwa kukuba "uloyiko olupheleleyo lulawula". Phakathi kokubhukishwa kohambo esele kwenziwe, iSinger ibhekisele “kuzisola kwabathengi” kwaye yacaphula imiqulu yeemarike ezahlukeneyo: i-USA (24 pesenti), iUnited Kingdom (17 pesenti) kunye neJamani (13 pesenti). Ukhuphe esi sibongozo silandelayo kubakhenkethi: “Ulwazi kufuneka lwenziwe lufumaneke kungekuphela nje kwangaphambili kodwa nakwabo sele bebhukishe.
Imvumi ithatha ukuthotywa kwamaxabiso njengokusilela koko kufunekayo. Ukwanike nesisombululo, malunga nale meko njengethuba. Abakhenkethi kufuneka bakhuthale kwaye bangaguquguquki ekuboneleleni ngeengcebiso zohambo ezicacileyo ezivela kwimithombo esemthethweni. Unike umzekelo weyona ndlela isebenzayo kwiqela lokuhamba le-TUI, "ebonisa oku kuwo onke amanqanaba okucwangcisa nokwenza ugcino". Imvumi icinga ukuba abakhenkethi abakhulu, iTUI kunye noThomas Cook, kufuneka babe luphawu lwabo bonke abanye: "Banokuphuhlisa iinkqubo zesatifikethi semigangatho yokhuseleko, kunye neendlela ezahlukeneyo zokhuseleko ekufuneka zenziwe kwindawo yeholide."
Lo mvumi ushwankathele ngelithi nangona lo mbandela untsokothileyo, kodwa awunakubethwa ngoyaba. Ngokujonga uxanduva oluthwalwa lishishini lokuhamba, ibhodi yeTravelzoo iqinisekile ukuba "abathengi balindele ukufumana iingcebiso kwicandelo lokuhamba."
