I kēia lā, 85 mau ʻāina i koho balota UNWTO Kākau Nui ʻO Zurab Pololikashvili e hoʻopaʻa ʻia e alakaʻi i ka Hoʻonohonoho Aupuni no 4 mau makahiki hou aku.

ʻO kēia lā hoʻi ka lā i hiki ʻole ai i kekahi ʻāina, ʻaʻohe ʻelele, a ʻaʻole hoʻi i loko ke nīnau i kēia hālāwai hoʻopaʻa ʻana no ka mea he pololei, hūnā, a me ke aupuni demokala. ʻO 29 wale nō mau ʻāina i koho kūʻē i kāna hōʻoia hou ʻana.

ʻAʻole kēia he lanakila wale no Mr. Zurab Pololikashvili akā no ka hui hui pū me UN, no ka WTN ʻO ka hoʻoikaika ʻana i ke koho balota"., a no na mea elua mamua UNWTO Nā Kakauolelo Nui - Kauka Taleb Rifai lāua ʻo Francesco Frangialli - nāna i hoʻokani ākea i nā bele hoʻāla i ka nīnau ʻana i kahi kaʻina koho koho kūpono no ke keʻena like a lākou i lawelawe ai no nā makahiki he nui.

Mr. Ua lanakila ʻo Pololikashvili i ke koho balota, a ua puka mai kahi koa.

ʻO ka mea koa ma ke koho balota o kēia lā ʻo ia ka Hon. Ua hana ʻo Gustav Segura Costa Sancho, ke Kuhina o ka mākaʻikaʻi no Costa Rica, i kahi koho balota kūpono. Ma ka ʻaoʻao o Costa Rica, ua noi ʻo ia i kahi koho huna i makemake nui ʻia e hōʻoia a hoʻopaʻa i nā mea āpau i loaʻa i ke kaʻina hana o kēia lā. Inā ʻaʻole he koho malū, e mau ana ke ao ʻeleʻele o ka hoʻopunipuni ma kēia kaʻina hana no nā makahiki ʻehā e hiki mai ana.

Ua holoi ʻia nā manaʻo kānalua o ia ʻano hoʻopunipuni. Hiki i ke Kakauolelo-General i kona kau elua ke noonoo nui i ke alakai ana i ka huakai no na aina lala a pau.

ʻAʻohe ona kuleana kūikawā i nā ʻāina o ka ʻaha kūkā hoʻokō. ʻAʻohe koho balota ʻē aʻe. Ua paa kona kulana i keia manawa a paa a hiki i ka pau ana o kona kau elua. Hiki iā ia ke noʻonoʻo i ke alakaʻi ʻana i ka mākaʻikaʻi honua ma o nā pilikia nui e kū nei kēia ʻāpana.

He lanakila kēia no ka mākaʻikaʻi honua ma ka laulā.

E kōkua pū ia i ke Kakauolelo Nui e kūkulu i kāna hoʻoilina. Ua ʻōlelo ʻia kona manaʻo e holo i Kuhina Nui o Georgia ma hope o kāna UNWTO ua pau ka manawa.

No laila, he lā lanakila / lanakila / lanakila / lanakila i kēia lā no ka mākaʻikaʻi honua. ʻAʻole kūpono i kēia manawa ke hoʻomaikaʻi wale aku iā Mr. Zurab Pololikashvili no kona lanakila ʻana i kahi koho balota kūpono a malu, akā ʻo ka manawa kēia no nā mea a pau o ka mākaʻikaʻi honua e hana pū me UNWTO.

I loko o ka honua o ka poʻe lanakila, aia kekahi honua o ka poʻe i hana i nā hoʻohiki ʻole. Ma ka liʻiliʻi he 35 mau ʻāina i hōʻoia ma hope o nā hiʻohiʻona e hana i hoʻokahi hana, ua pau ka hana ʻē aʻe. Hiki paha ke kapa ʻia kēia he "politics," a ʻo ka politika naʻe pinepine ʻo IS i hoʻokumu ʻia i ka uahi a me nā ʻōlelo hoʻohiki ʻole. ʻAʻole ʻokoʻa kēia ma ka hapa nui o nā ʻāpana, ʻāina, a i ʻole nā hui.

ʻO Juergen Steinmetz o eTurboNews, a me ka noho o ka World Tourism Network, manaʻo ua hoʻoneʻe ʻia kahi ukana nui mai ka ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi i kēia lā. ʻO ka manawa kēia e waiho ai i nā ʻokoʻa a me nā ʻōlelo hoʻohewa ma hope o mākou a kōkua UNWTO e hoʻomau i ke ala no ka maikaʻi o ka mākaʻikaʻi honua.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Mr. Pololikashvili: "Ma kēlā me kēia wahi honua, ua wehewehe ka maʻi maʻi i ke koʻikoʻi o kā mākou ʻāpana - no ka ulu ʻana o ka hoʻokele waiwai, no nā hana a me nā kālepa, a no ka pale ʻana i ka hoʻoilina kūlohelohe a me ka moʻomeheu. Pono mākou e hana i ka hapa nui o kēia manawa - e hoʻololi i ka manaʻo maikaʻi i ke kākoʻo paʻa.

Ua ʻae ʻo Steinmetz a hāʻawi Mr. Zurab Pololikashvili ame UNWTO kona kākoʻo piha a me ka launa pū ʻana.

"No ka nui o nā ʻāina e hilinaʻi nei i ka mākaʻikaʻi, ʻo ka loaʻa ʻana o ka leo honua i hui pū ʻia, a me nā hana i hoʻonohonoho ʻia e hiki ke hana nui i mua no ia mau ʻoihana," i hoʻopau ai ʻo Steinmetz.

He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:

On behalf of Costa Rica, he requested a much-needed secret vote to validate and seal whatever the outcome would have been in today’s procedure.
Zurab Pololikashvili for having won a fair and secret election, but it’s time for everyone in global tourism to work with UNWTO.
It’s time to put differences and criticism behind us and help UNWTO e hoʻomau i ke ala no ka maikaʻi o ka mākaʻikaʻi honua.
