Uvavanyo lwe-WTM London lubonise ukuba ama-51% ebekwiholide ubuncinane kabini kulo nyaka - kunye nesihlanu sethu sithathe iihambo ezintathu nangaphezulu.
IBrits ithathe uhambo oluqikelelwa kwi-106 yezigidi zeeholide ngo-2017, ngaphezulu kwesiqingatha seeholide (iihambo zezigidi ezingama-59) zise-UK kwaye ezinye (izigidi ezingama-46.6) zizihambo zaphesheya kwezilwandle.
I-WTM yaseLondon ibuze abakhenkethi base-UK ukuba zingaphi iiholide abazithathileyo kulo nyaka-e-UK naphesheya kweelwandle. Kulo nyaka kokokuqala uninzi lwabantu (51%) luthathe ngaphezu kweholide enye – into elingana nohambo oluqikelelwa kwizigidi ezingama-54 – kule minyaka ilishumi idlulileyo.
Isahlulo sesithathu (32%) sithe sineeholide ezimbini ngo-2018 (emele uhambo olumalunga nezigidi ezingama-34), kunye ne-12% eya kwiiholide ezintathu (i-13 yezigidi zohambo) kunye ne-7% eya kwiiholide ezine okanye ngaphezulu (i-7.5 yezigidi zohambo).
Uphando lubonise ukuba eyona ndawo idumileyo yayiyi-UK, ibonisa iindlela zokuhlala ezibonwa kumanani asemthethweni. Kwabo bapakisha iincwadana zabo zokundwendwela, ezona ndawo zokuchithela iiholide zazidume phesheya eSpain, eFransi, e-US nase-Itali.
Kwaye ngelixa sihamba, kubonakala ngathi ukuhlala ngasechibini okanye ecaleni lolwandle kuba ngumdlalo omncinci - i-49% yabaphenduli bathi le yeyona nto babeyifuna kakhulu kwiholide. Ukubona indawo ibingowona msebenzi uphezulu, ukhankanywe ngama-77% abaphenduliweyo, ulandelwa 'ngamava enkcubeko' kuma-60%.
UPaul Nelson weWorld Travel Market yaseLondon uthe: “Mhlawumbi luphawu lobushushu esilonwabeleyo ngehlobo lika-2018, kodwa kuyanika umdla ukubona ukuba ukuhlala kusenamandla.

“Kwaye abanye abazali bade baneliseke kukuhlawula isohlwayo kwaye bakhuphe abantwana babo esikolweni ngexesha lekota njengoko besazi ukuba kuseza kuba nexabiso eliphantsi ukuthatha ikhefu ngaphandle kwexesha eliphakamileyo.
"Kwelinye isiphelo se-demographic spectrum, i-nesters engenanto kunye nesilivere ye-surfers bakhululekile ukuba bathathe iiholide ezininzi ngonyaka njengoko banokufikelela, kwaye nanini na xa bethanda - kwaye bamele imarike enengeniso yorhwebo lokuhamba."
