• Ua hāʻawi ka luna o ka ATB ʻo Mr. Cuthbert Ncube i ka East African Regional Tourism Expo (EARTE) i pau i ka pule i hala ma hope o ʻekolu mau lā o ka ʻoihana.

ʻO ka East African Community (EAC) kahi hui kūloko o 6 Partner States: nā Republics o Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, South Sudan, ka United Republic of Tanzania, a me ka Republic of Uganda, me kona keʻena nui ma Arusha, Tanzania.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia e hana pū ana ʻo ATB me nā lālā EAC e hoʻomaikaʻi i ka hoʻomohala wikiwiki ʻana o ka mākaʻikaʻi āpana i ka poloka.

Ua wehe ʻo Pelekikena Zanzibar ʻo Kauka Hussein Mwinyi i kahi ahulau e hoʻōlapa i ka makahiki makahiki o ka East African Regional Tourism Expo (EARTE) e kaʻapuni i waena o kēlā me kēia lālā o ka EAC bloc. 

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Kauka Mwinyi he pono i nā mokuʻāina ʻo EAC e hōʻano hou a loiloi i nā kulekele e hoʻolohi i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i ka mākaʻikaʻi ma ia wahi no nā huahana mākaʻikaʻi like ʻole.

Ke wehe nei i kahi EARTE makahiki e wehe i nā ala hou i ka ʻāpana EAC a ʻimi i nā ala a me nā hoʻolālā hou e kūʻai aku i ka ʻāina ma ke ʻano he wahi hoʻokahi, i ʻōlelo ʻo Mwinyi.

ʻO nā holoholona hihiu, nā hiʻohiʻona kūlohelohe e like me nā kuahiwi, kai a me nā kahakai, kūlohelohe, a me nā wahi mōʻaukala nā wahi mākaʻikaʻi alakaʻi e huki nei i ka hapa nui o nā malihini kipa a me nā ʻāina i ka ʻāpana EAC.

Ua ʻōlelo ke Kakauolelo Nui ʻo EAC, ʻo Kauka Peter Mathuki, ke piʻi mau nei nā mākaʻikaʻi honua i ka ʻāina ʻo EAC me ka nui o nā helu i kēlā me kēia mokuʻāina. Ke piʻi nei i ka 6.98 miliona ma 2019 ma mua o ka maʻi ahulau COVID-19.

ʻO ka nui o nā mākaʻikaʻi e hōʻea ana i ka ʻāina ʻo EAC ua iho i lalo ma kahi o 67.7 pakeneka o ka makahiki i hala (2020) i kahi o 2.25 miliona mau mākaʻikaʻi honua, e nalo ana i nā kālā he 4.8 biliona mai nā loaʻa huakaʻi.

Ua hoʻolālā ka ʻĀina ʻo EAC e hoʻohihi i 14 miliona mau mākaʻikaʻi ma 2025 ma mua o ka maʻi ahulau COVID-19.

ʻO ka hoʻomohala ʻana i nā pūʻulu huakaʻi mākaʻikaʻi he nui a me nā manawa kūpono hoʻokomo waiwai hoʻokipa a me nā mea hōʻeuʻeu, ka hakakā ʻana i ka lawaiʻa ʻana a me nā kālepa holoholona hihiu kūpono ʻole nā ​​mea nui e pono ai no ka hoʻomohala huakaʻi kūloko, wahi a Dr. Mathuki.

ʻO ka laha ʻana o COVID-19 i hopena maikaʻi ʻole i nā pono o ka mākaʻikaʻi huakaʻi me nā hana nui a me nā loaʻa kālā, ua hōʻino ʻia hoʻi nā hana mālama holoholona luhi ma muli o ka hoʻemi ʻia o nā uku i hōʻiliʻili ʻia mai nā malihini e nā National Parks a me nā kahua hoʻoilina.

ʻO nā palena hele huakaʻi ma nā mākaʻikaʻi e hele ana i nā palena ʻo EAC ka mea i loli nui i ka mākaʻikaʻi palena ʻāina, a laila keakea nei i ka neʻe ʻana o nā mākaʻikaʻi kūloko a kūloko hoʻi mai ke komo ʻana i nā ʻāina kokoke, ka hapa nui o Kenya a me Tanzania e kaʻana like i nā wahi like.

I ka pane ʻana i ka maʻi ahulau, ua hoʻomohala ka EAC Secretariat i kahi Plan Recovery Tourism e alakaʻi i ka ʻāina i ka hoʻihoʻi ʻana i ka mākaʻikaʻi i nā pae pre-pandemic.

Māhele nā ​​lālā o ʻApelika Hikina i ka mākaʻikaʻi a me nā holoholona hihiu ma ke ʻano he kumuwaiwai maʻamau ma o ka neʻe ʻana o ka holoholo, nā mākaʻikaʻi, nā mākaʻikaʻi huakaʻi, nā mokulele, a me nā mea nona nā hōkele.

ʻO Mount Kilimanjaro, ke kaiaolaola ʻo Serengeti, Mkomazi, a me Tsavo National Parks, nā kahakai o ka Moana ʻInikia, nā chimpanzee a me nā māla gorilla ma Western Tanzania, Rwanda, a me Uganda ke kī nui a alakaʻi i nā kumuwaiwai kūloko āpana i hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ma waena o nā mokuʻāina ʻo EAC.

Ua kākoʻo ʻia e ka ʻAha Kūkākūkā ʻo EAC no nā mākaʻikaʻi a me nā holoholona hihiu ma 15 Iulai^th i kēia makahiki, kahi EAC Regional Tourism Expo (EARTE) e hoʻokipa ʻia e nā mokuʻāina ʻoihana i kēlā me kēia manawa.

Ua koho ʻia ʻo Tanzania e hoʻokipa i ka EARTE mua me ke kumuhana o ka "Paipai ʻana i ka Hōʻikeʻike Kūlana Hou no ka Hoʻohui Socio-economic Development." Ua pani ʻia ka Expo i ka pule i hala.
