NEW DELHI - Ke hoʻomaka nei ʻo India e hoʻoponopono i kona hemahema o nā lumi hōkele ma nā kikowaena kūlanakauhale nui. No ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi ʻoihana a me ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi, aia kahi pilikia: ʻAʻole paha nā lumi hou i kahi i makemake ʻia ai.
He 86,000 wale nō lumi hōkele ʻo India ma kahi ʻāina o 1.1 piliona kānaka. ʻO ka hoʻohālikelike, ʻoi aku ma mua o 4.3 miliona mau lumi ma US a kokoke i 74,000 ma New York City wale nō.
Me ka ulu ʻana o ka hoʻokele waiwai o India e hoʻonui i nā huakaʻi malihini a me ka home ma ka ʻāina, ua piʻi aʻe nā kumukūʻai lumi ma New Delhi a me Mumbai, kahi e hiki ai ke kūʻai aku i kahi pō ma kahi hōkele ʻelima hōkū ma mua o $500. Ua wānana ka Ministry of Tourism e piʻi aʻe ka hemahema lumi o India ma mua o 50% i kahi 150,000 lumi ma 2010 ma muli o ka piʻi nui ʻana o ka noi.
Ke hopu nei nā kaulahao hōkele o India a me ka honua i ka manawa kūpono. Loaʻa iā Marriott International Inc. he 24 mau hōkele e wehe ai i ka makahiki 2011. Ua ʻae ʻo Hilton Hotels Corp. e kūkulu i 75 mau hōkele i nā makahiki ʻehiku e hiki mai ana ma ka hui pū ʻana me ka mea hoʻomohala ʻāina ʻo DLF Ltd. Hoʻolālā ʻo Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. 12 ʻO Sheraton a me Westin mau waiwai i nā makahiki ʻekolu e hiki mai ana.
ʻO ka hapa nui o nā hoteliers ke huli nei i nā malihini kipa a me nā huakaʻi ʻoihana e ʻimi nei i nā hale kūpono. Ua aneane pālua ʻia ka mākaʻikaʻi haole i nā makahiki ʻelima i hala, i ʻelima miliona mau malihini kipa i ka makahiki i hala, e like me nā helu aupuni.
Ke ulu nei ka mākaʻikaʻi kūloko, ke nānā nei nā hōkele hou i kēlā mākeke nui. I ka makahiki i hala, ua helu ʻo India i 500 miliona mau mākaʻikaʻi kūloko.
"ʻO ka lani ka palena," wahi a Koos Klein, ka pelekikena o Hilton Hotels ma Asia Pacific. "E pili ana i ka mea e hopu mua i ka manawa."
Akā ʻaʻole liʻiliʻi ka ʻāina o ke kūlanakauhale, ʻo nā code kūkulu hale e hana i nā hōkele nui ma nā kikowaena kūlanakauhale ʻaʻole hiki ʻole a nui nā mokuʻāina ʻo India e hāʻawi i nā ʻauhau ʻauhau e paipai ana i ke kūkulu ʻana ma waho o nā kikowaena nui. ʻO ka hopena: Ke hoʻokumu nei nā mea hoʻomohala waiwai a me nā hui hōkele i ka hapa nui o kā lākou mau hōkele hou ma nā kihi o nā ʻoihana politika a me ke kālā o ka ʻāina.
Ke hoʻomau nei ka ulu ʻana o ka hoʻokele waiwai o India a ke hoʻomau nei ke kūkulu ʻana i nā keʻena kūloko a me nā kūlanakauhale hou, pono e loaʻa i nā hōkele nā malihini he nui. Akā, hiki i ka lohi o ka hoʻokele waiwai ke waiho i nā papahana hou i pōloli no nā malihini. A ʻaʻole paha e kōkua ka boom hōkele i ka ʻoki ʻana i nā kumukūʻai o nā wahi kikowaena o ke kūlanakauhale.
E lawe i ka Westin New Delhi-Gurgaon, i manaʻo ʻia e hoʻomaka i ka hana ma Ianuali 1, 2010, a ʻo ia ka Westin Hotel mua e lawelawe i ke kapikala o India. ʻAʻole loa ka hōkele ma New Delhi. Ke piʻi nei ia ma Gurgaon, he kūlanakauhale ukali ma ka mokuʻāina ʻo Haryana, 15 mau mile ma ka hema o ke kapikala, kahi huakaʻi holo kaʻa a hiki i ʻelua hola.
Ua ʻōlelo kekahi ʻōlelo a Starwood, ua manaʻo ʻia ka hōkele e hoʻokipa i nā malihini me nā ʻoihana ma New Delhi a me nā mākaʻikaʻi kiʻekiʻe, a ke manaʻo nei ke kaulahao e makemake nā malihini e hele i ko lākou mau wahi.
I kēia manawa, ʻelima mau hōkele Hilton-branded i hoʻolālā ʻia no New Delhi, ʻo ka mea kokoke loa i ke kaona aia ma Saket, kahi ʻāpana hema. ʻEkolu mau mea ʻē aʻe ma Dwarka, hoʻokahi hola kaʻa mai ke kikowaena o ke kūlanakauhale, ʻoiai he 15 mau minuke wale nō mai ke kahua mokulele.
Ua ʻōlelo kekahi ʻōlelo a Hilton e huki nui nā hōkele no ka mea ua lilo nā wahi, i ka ulu ʻana o nā kaiāulu ʻoihana kūloko a, i ka hihia o Dwarka, kokoke i kahi kikowaena hui hou, ua lilo i mau wahi i ko lākou pono ponoʻī.
Ke hana nei ka mea like ma Mumbai, ke kūlanakauhale nui a me ke kapikala ʻoihana. Ma waho aʻe o kahi ʻEhā Kau i wehe koke ʻia i ke kaona, aia nā hōkele liʻiliʻi i ka hoʻomohala ʻana ma Mumbai ma kahi kokoke i ke kahua mokulele a i ʻole ma nā ʻaoʻao hikina o ke kūlanakauhale, nā wahi ʻelua ma kahi o hoʻokahi hola kaʻa i ke kikowaena o ke kūlanakauhale. I loko o ʻekolu mau makahiki, e loaʻa iā Marriott ka nui o nā waiwai ma Pune, kahi kūlanakauhale ʻelua e ulu nei, e like me Mumbai, 75 mau mile ka mamao.
Ua ʻōlelo kekahi ʻōlelo a Marriott, ʻaʻole hopohopo ka ʻoihana e pili ana i ka hoʻopiha ʻana i nā lumi no ka mea aia kona mau hōkele ma nā wahi e huki ai i nā huakaʻi ʻoihana.
Ke hele mai nei nā hōkele hou i nā wahi ʻoihana ʻē aʻe o India. ʻO InterContinental Hotels Group PLC's 14 Holiday Inns e piʻi ana ma India, ʻekolu ma Bangalore, kahi kikowaena ʻenehana-ʻenehana. ʻAʻohe mea ma waena o New Delhi a me Mumbai.
I ka manawa i kipa aku ai ʻo New Yorker David Miller i India no kahi hoʻomaha ʻohana, ua noho ʻo ia ma The Claridges, kahi hōkele ʻelima mau hōkū kokoke i ke kaona ʻo New Delhi. Ua uku ʻo ia i $400 a i $500 i kēlā me kēia pō no ka pono. ʻOiai ua kiʻekiʻe nā kumukūʻai, ʻōlelo ʻo Mr. Miller ʻaʻole ʻo ia e noʻonoʻo e noho ma nā hōkele hou inā he mau mile ka mamao. "I ka hopena o ka lā, ʻaʻole ʻoe makemake e lawe i hoʻokahi hola e hiki ai i kahi moena," wahi a ka loio 58 makahiki. "Makemake wale ʻoe e hiamoe."
ʻO ka pilikia nui, wahi a nā luna hokele, he ʻāina pipiʻi. I ka wā i kūʻai ai ʻo Leela Group i Mumbai i ʻekolu mau ʻeka ma waena o New Delhi i ka makahiki i hala, ua hoʻopau ʻo ia i $152.75 miliona. ʻO ke ala wale nō e hiki ai ke kūʻai aku, wahi a ka hui, ʻo ke kūkulu ʻana i kahi hōkele "trophy" ma laila, me nā kumukūʻai lumi ma, a ma luna paha, nā hōkele o nā hōkū ʻelima.
Wahi a ka poʻe Hoteli hiki iā lākou ke hoʻopaʻa i nā kumukūʻai ʻāina kiʻekiʻe inā hiki iā lākou ke kūkulu i nā skyscrapers nui me nā lumi lawa e lawe mai i nā kahawai nui. Akā, he palena koʻikoʻi ko nā code kūlanakauhale ʻo India i ka ratio o ka papahele, a i ʻole ka nui o ka nui o ka papahele e hiki ke kūkulu ʻia ma kahi ʻāpana ʻāina.
Ke kāohi nei kēlā palena i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i ka hōkele ma nā wahi o loko o ke kūlanakauhale, wahi a Paul Logan, hope pelekikena no ka hoʻomohala ʻana ma ʻAsia Hema a me Korea no InterContinental Hotels.
I ka mahina i hala aku nei, ua hoʻonui ka Delhi Development Authority, ka mea e hoʻoponopono ai i ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana a me ke kūkulu ʻana i ka palena o ka palena o ka papahele papahele no nā hōkele i 2.25, ʻo ia hoʻi, hiki i kahi hōkele ke kūkulu i 225 square feet o ka papahele no kēlā me kēia 100 square feet o ka ʻāina e noho ai.
Ua ʻōlelo kekahi waha ʻōlelo no ke komite, ʻo ka palena kiʻekiʻe e hōʻoluʻolu i ka hopohopo o ka poʻe hōkele e pili ana i ka hiki ke kūʻai aku. Eia naʻe, ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī o nā palena o New Delhi ma mua o nā kūlanakauhale ʻē aʻe. Hāʻawi ʻo Downtown Manhattan i nā lakio o ka papahele a hiki i ka 15.
ʻAʻole kōkua nui nā hoʻāʻo ʻē aʻe e hāʻawi i nā mea hoʻoikaika. No nā Pāʻani Commonwealth 2010, no ka laʻana, ua hāʻawi ʻo New Delhi i kahi kōkua ʻauhau kālā no nā hōkele i kūkulu ʻia i ka manawa no ka hanana haʻuki honua. Akā mai loko o nā lumi he 30,000 e pono ai, ua hiki i ke kūlanakauhale ke laina i ka 17,000, wahi a MN Javed, ke komisina hōkele ma ka Ministry of Tourism. "E mau ana ka hemahema ma India," wahi a Mr. Javed. "ʻO kā mākou pilikia nui i kēia lā i ke kūʻai aku ʻana i India ʻo ke kumukūʻai kiʻekiʻe o nā lumi. Akā, e mau ana ia me kēia.
