"Inā kūkulu ʻia ke kaʻa kaʻa i manaʻo ʻia, ʻaʻole mākou e hoʻolaha hou iā Kilimanjaro ma ke ʻano he wahi kūlohelohe a nani hoʻi, a e aʻo mākou i ka poʻe huakaʻi e haʻalele i kēlā wahi" kākau ʻo Mr.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Mr. Smith, he luna hoʻokele o ka Deeper Africa outfitter, ʻo ke kaʻa uwea ma ka mauna ʻo Kilimanjaro e lilo ia i mea ʻino ʻole a me ka hoʻopilikia lehulehu.

ʻO Thomas Zwahlen Luna Hoʻokele ʻo Alpinschule ka mea nāna i alakaʻi i nā hui huakaʻi ma ka mauna ʻo Kilimanjaro mai Switzerland no ʻekolu mau makahiki i noi aku i ke Kuhina e hoʻōki i ka papahana kaʻa kaʻa a mālama i ka mauna kū hoʻokahi no ka mea ʻo ia ke poʻo kiʻi maikaʻi a nani loa o Tanzania.

ʻO Karl Kobler ka mea nāna i hoʻokumu a me ka Luna Hoʻokele o Aconcagua Vision, Kobler & Partner ma Switzerland a me Himalaya Vision ma Nepal nāna i kūʻai aku i ka Kilimanjaro no 35 mau makahiki i ʻōlelo ʻia e koho nā mea mākaʻikaʻi iā Kilimanjaro i ko lākou wahi e hele ai no kona ʻāina maʻemaʻe he mauna kūʻokoʻa kūʻokoʻa. he kahua hoʻoilina honua.

Ma hope o ka makahiki 2019, ua hoʻolaha ka Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism (MNRT) i kahi hoʻolālā e ʻike ai i kahi kaʻa kelepona i kau ʻia ma ka mauna ʻo Kilimanjaro ma ke ʻano o kāna hoʻolālā e hoʻonui i ka helu o nā mākaʻikaʻi makahiki i ka mauna kiʻekiʻe loa o ʻApelika mai 50,000 a 200,000 a ʻohi. mau dala hou aku.
E like me ka mea i hana ʻia, ua koho ʻia ʻo AVAN Kilimanjaro Ltd, kahi hui 100 pākēneka nona nā mea kuleana ʻeono o nā haole, ma nā kūlana pohihihi, ua koho ʻia e hoʻokō i ka papahana.
ʻO ka pule i hala aku nei, ua ʻōlelo ke Kuhina no nā kumuwaiwai kūlohelohe a me ka mākaʻikaʻi, ʻo Dr. Damas Ndumbaro, ua manaʻo ʻo ia e hui me nā mea hoʻokele huakaʻi ma ka ʻāina mākaʻikaʻi ʻo Northern Tanzania ʻo Kilimanjaro i ka lā 8 o Malaki no nā kūkākūkā ākea a hele mai me ke ala i mua.

I kā lākou hālāwai i mālama ʻia ma Arusha i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka pule i hala, ua kūʻē ka poʻe huakaʻi huakaʻi i ka hoʻolālā ʻana o ke aupuni Tanzania e hoʻolauna i kahi kaʻa kaʻa ma ka mauna ʻo Kilimanjaro - kahi hana a lākou i ʻōlelo ai e hōʻemi i ka loaʻa kālā o ka mākaʻikaʻi mai ka poʻe piʻi mauna.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Kauka Ndumbaro, ua hoʻolālā ke aupuni e hoʻolauna i ke kaʻa kaʻa ma ka mauna i mea e ʻae ai i nā poʻe kīnā a me ka poʻe i liʻiliʻi ka manawa no ka hele wāwae i ka mauna e hoʻohana i ke kaʻa kaʻa.
Eia nō naʻe, ʻōlelo ʻo AVAN Kilimanjaro Ltd, kahi consortium ma hope o ka papahana e hoʻokipa ka ropeway i nā mākaʻikaʻi o nā ala āpau, e waiho ana i nā nīnau hou aʻe ma mua o nā pane no ka ʻoiaʻiʻo o ia mea.
Ua ʻōlelo ka luna hoʻomalu o Tanzania Association of Tour Operators (TATO), ʻo Mr. Wilbard Chambulo, ʻo ka hoʻokomo ʻana i ke kaʻa kaʻa ma luna o ka mauna e hoʻopilikia i ka pōʻeleʻele o ka mauna ma waho aʻe o ka lilo ʻana o kona kūlana, ma luna o ka lilo ʻana o ka loaʻa kālā no nā mea hoʻokele huakaʻi. .

- Smith who is a director of the Deeper Africa outfitter says that a cable car on Mount Kilimanjaro will be an unnatural eyesore and a public nuisance.
- Thomas Zwahlen Managing Director Alpinschule who has been leading the trekker groups on Mount Kilimanjaro from Switzerland for three decades now pleaded with the Minister to stop the cable car project and preserve the unique mountain because it's the best and most beautiful figurehead of Tanzania.
