He makahiki gula ʻo 2010 no ka mākaʻikaʻi Myanmar

YANGON, Myanmar - Ma nā kūlana Myanmar, 2010 he makahiki gula no ka mākaʻikaʻi. Ua ʻōlelo ka poʻe e hana ana i ka ʻoihana i ko lākou manaʻolana e hiki ke maʻalahi i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i ka politika i kēia manawa ke huki hou aku i nā haole ʻoiai ʻaʻole nui ka manaʻoʻiʻo i ka makemake o ke aupuni koa no ka loli.

Ua manaʻo ʻia he 300,000 mau malihini mākaʻikaʻi i kipa aku i ka ʻāina i ka makahiki i hala, ua ʻōlelo nā kumu aupuni, he 30 pākēneka ka piʻi ʻana ma mua o 2009 a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o ka moʻolelo mua mai 2006, ka makahiki kipa ʻo Myanmar. Akā ʻo ka hoʻonui hou ʻana, ʻaʻole ia e hoʻokō i ka pono o ka ʻāina, nona ka nui o nā mea kūlohelohe a me nā moʻomeheu e lilo ia i mea hoʻokahi o nā wahi mākaʻikaʻi kiʻekiʻe ma Asia Hema.

"ʻAʻole nui ka nui o nā mākaʻikaʻi 300,000 i hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā ʻāina e pili ana e like me Thailand, Malaysia, a me Laos," wahi a Tin Tun Aung, ke kākau ʻōlelo nui o ka Myanmar Travel Association. I ka makahiki i hala aku nei, he 15 miliona mau mākaʻikaʻi i kipa aku iā Thailand, 17 miliona i hele i Malaysia, a he 1 miliona i hele i Laos.

Ua loaʻa i ka ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi ʻo Myanmar kāna ʻāpana kūpono o nā kīkē paʻakikī i nā makahiki i hala. Ua paʻi ʻia e nā ʻano like ʻole e like me ke koena o ka honua: ʻo ka puka ʻana o ka maʻi ʻeha hanu koʻikoʻi, a i ʻole SARS, i ka makahiki 2003; ke kai eʻe o 2004; nā kumukūʻai aila kiʻekiʻe ma 2008; a me ka hoʻoheheʻe kālā o ka honua ma 2009. Akā ʻo Myanmar, i kapa ʻia ʻo Burma, ua loaʻa nō hoʻi kāna mau hiccups kūikawā.

Aia ka hana hoʻomāinoino o ka pūʻali koa i nā kūʻē i alakaʻi ʻia e nā mōneka Buddhist i Sepatemaba, 2007, a laila ma Mei, 2008, ua pepehi ʻia ʻo Cyclone Nargis ma kahi o 138,000 mau kānaka a haʻalele i ka hapa nui o ka Irrawaddy Delta i loko o ka haunaele.

Hoʻopili pū ʻia kahi stigma politika i ka kipa ʻana iā Myanmar, kahi i noho ai ma lalo o ka hoʻomalu kaua kaua mai 1962.

Ua kūʻē mua ʻo Aung San Suu Kyi, ka hōʻailona democracy o Myanmar, i nā malihini mākaʻikaʻi e kipa ana i kona ʻāina i kona hoʻolei ʻana i ke kākoʻo ma hope o nā hoʻopaʻi hoʻokele waiwai i kau ʻia ma luna o kona ʻāina e nā Demokala Komohana. Mai ia manawa ua hoʻokaʻawale ʻo ia i kāna kūlana i ka hoʻopaʻi ʻana, me ka ʻōlelo ʻana e kaupalena ʻia lākou i nā mea i loaʻa ka hopena maikaʻi ʻole i ka poʻe Myanmar.

Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻo Suu Kyi mai ʻehiku mau makahiki o ka hale paʻahao ʻo Nowemapa 13, ʻeono lā ma hope o ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana o Myanmar i kāna koho balota nui mua i loko o ʻelua mau makahiki, akā ʻaʻole maopopo i ka hopena o nā hanana politika i kēia manawa.

"ʻAʻole wau i manaʻo he nui ka hana o ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi me ka politika, ʻoiaʻiʻo," wahi a Luzi Matzig, ka luna o ka hui ʻo Asian Trails e hoʻokumu ʻia ana ma Bangkok, ka mea loea i nā huakaʻi i Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar a me Thailand.

"Inā makemake ka mea mākaʻikaʻi e hele i Mandalay a i ʻole Pagan, maikaʻi ke lohe ʻana ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻo 'The Lady" (Suu Kyi), akā e hoʻololi anei ia i kāna hoʻoholo e kipa aku iā Myanmar? ʻAʻole wau i manaʻo pēlā, "wahi a Matzig.

Ua ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hana maikaʻi o Myanmar i ka hoʻomaha ʻana i nā hoʻoponopono visa ma mua o ka hoʻomohala politika. "ʻO kekahi o nā kumu i maikaʻi ai ka ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi i ka makahiki 2010 ma muli o ka hoʻokomo ʻana i nā visa hōʻea," wahi a Nay Zin Latt, ka hope pelekikena o ka Myanmar Hoteliers Association.
