ʻO nā ʻāina me ka nui o ka make ʻana o ʻAmelika
Ma waho o kā mākou hoʻomākaukau ʻana a me ka makaʻala, hiki mai nā pōʻino, a laila pilikia mākou inā ʻaʻole mākou i hoʻolālā mua. ʻO kahi ala e pale aku ai i ka make i ka wā hoʻomaha, ʻo ia ke koho pono i kahi e hele ai. ʻO ka make o ʻAmelika ka mea kiʻekiʻe loa ma Mekiko ma waena o Iulai 2014 a me Iune 2015, a ukali ʻia e Thailand, Costa Rica, Philippines, a me Dominican Republic.
ʻO ka make ʻana i ka wā hoʻomaha ua lilo ia i kumuhana maʻamau ma muli o nā mea hou make o ʻAmelika ma ka Dominican Republic (DR). Ma waena o ʻAukake 2018 a me Iune 21, 2019, ua hōʻike ʻia he 10 mau make o ʻAmelika. ʻAʻole i komo kēia i ka make ʻana o Orlando Moore lāua ʻo Portia Ravanelle i nalowale i ko lāua ala i ke kahua mokulele ma hope o ko lākou hoʻomaha DR. Ua manaʻo nā luna o ka DR i ko lākou make ʻana i kahi pōpilikia alanui.
Ma 2018, ʻoi aku ka mākaʻikaʻi ma mua o 17 pakeneka o ka hoʻokele waiwai DR, e like me ka World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC). Ma kahi o 6.5 miliona mau mākaʻikaʻi i kipa aku i ka DR ma 2018, ʻoi aku ma mua o nā aupuni Caribbean ʻē aʻe (Karibbean Tourism Organization data). Ua helu ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i 2.2 miliona o kēia mau mākaʻikaʻi - ʻoi aku ma mua o nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe.

Ke hele nei ka poʻe ma mua o ka wā ma mua a ʻoiai e hoʻopau a hoʻopanee paha kekahi i nā hoʻolālā ma muli o nā kūlana o kēia manawa, nui ka poʻe e hoʻomau nei i kā lākou huakaʻi huakaʻi i mua. I mea e hoʻomākaukau ai no ka pōʻino, ua nīnau au i ka loea ʻinikua huakaʻi, ʻo Stan Sandberg, ka mea hoʻokumu o TravelInsurance.com.
Wahi a Sandberg, "ʻO nā kulekele me DR ma ke ʻano he huakaʻi mua i kūʻai ʻia i ka makahiki a hiki i kēia lā ua kokoke i ka 50 pakeneka ma luna o ka manawa like… ʻO ka mea nui, i kēia mahina, ua kūʻai ʻia nā kulekele me DR ma ke ʻano he huakaʻi mua ma luna o 75 pakeneka ma luna o ka awelika no ka ʻekolu mahina ma mua.
He aha ka mea e pale ai ka Inikua Kaahele?
Hoʻomanaʻo ʻo Sandberg i ka poʻe huakaʻi e pili ana i ka ʻinikua huakaʻi… "e uhi ana i ka hoʻopau ʻana i ka huakaʻi a me ka hoʻopau ʻana no nā kumu i uhi ʻia, mai ka maʻi i manaʻo ʻole ʻia a hiki i nā ʻino; akā naʻe, ʻaʻole ia e hāʻawi i ka pale hoʻopau huakaʻi no ka poʻe huakaʻi e noʻonoʻo ʻelua e pili ana i kā lākou huakaʻi DR ma muli o ka makaʻu i nā make a me nā maʻi.
Manaʻo ʻo Sandberg e hiki i ka poʻe huakaʻi i hoʻopaʻa i kā lākou huakaʻi i loko o nā lā 7-21 i hala iho nei ke kūʻai aku i kahi hoʻolālā ʻinikua huakaʻi me kahi koho "Cancel for Any Reason" upgrade, e ʻae ana i ka hoʻopau ʻana i nā hola 48 a ʻoi aku paha ma mua o ka haʻalele ʻana no ka uku hapa. ʻAʻole loaʻa kēia no nā kamaʻāina ma ka mokuʻāina o New York, a aia paha nā koi hou aʻe.
Hāʻawi ka ʻinikua huakaʻi i ka uhi no ka poʻe huakaʻi e ʻike i kekahi mau pilikia i ka wā e hele ana. Hiki i ka ho'olālā 'inikua ka'ahele me ka 'inikua huaka'i a me/a i 'ole ka ho'oku'u 'ana i ka ma'i ulia pōpilikia ke hā'awi i ka uhi ke loa'a ka ma'i o ka po'e pa'a i ka DR.
ʻAʻole e uhi ka Inikua
- Inā loaʻa ʻoe i ka maʻi nui i kāu huakaʻi a makemake ʻoe i ka mālama olakino koʻikoʻi ma ka ʻāina āu e kipa aku ai, he aha ka ʻinikua e pono ai ʻoe?
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Sandberg: "Hiki i ka uhi olakino huakaʻi ke hāʻawi i ka pale inā makemake ʻoe i ka nānā hou ʻana i ka wā e hele ana. Uku ka hoʻopiʻi lapaʻau huakaʻi no ka haukapila a me nā koina olakino ma muli o kahi hōʻeha i manaʻo ʻole ʻia a maʻi paha i ka wā e hele ana.
"E uku ana ka uhi maʻamau no ka lawelawe kaʻa kaʻa, mālama ʻia e nā kauka a me nā kahu hānai, a me ka hapa nui o nā koina o ka haukapila. Hoʻopili kēia i ka ʻokiʻoki, nā hoʻokolohua olakino, anesthesia, a me nā lāʻau lapaʻau. Hiki ke uhi ʻia ka uhi olakino ulia pōpilikia i nā pilikia niho hikiwawe e like me ka nalowale ʻana a i ʻole ka niho niho.
Ke hoʻomau nei ka ʻāina e kipa ʻia ana iā ʻoe a hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻi i kou home, he aha kāu ʻinikua e uhi ai i nā lawelawe ambulance ea?
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Sandberg: "Ma nā hihia koʻikoʻi, uku ka uhi hoʻokuʻu ʻana i ka pilikia no ka lawe ʻana aku iā ʻoe i kahi keʻena olakino inā loaʻa ʻoe iā ʻoe iho i kahi wahi hiki ʻole ke mālama iā ʻoe. Hiki ke hoʻonui koke i nā kumukūʻai lapaʻau i nā kaukani a ʻumi kaukani paha. ʻO ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o ka pilikia hiki ke kūʻai ʻia he ʻumi manawa. Ma waho aʻe o ka uhi kālā no kahi pilikia olakino, kokoke i nā hoʻolālā ʻinikua huakaʻi ma luna o 24/7 mau kōkua honua e kōkua iā ʻoe (a/a i kāu mau hoa huakaʻi) hoʻokele i ka ʻōnaehana mālama olakino a hoʻonohonoho maoli i ka mālama ʻana me nā kauka a me nā haukapila.
Inā make ʻoe i kāu huakaʻi (no kou hewa ʻole a/a i ʻole kāu hana karaima), he aha ka ʻinikua āu e pono ai e hoʻihoʻi ʻia kou kino i ka home (a hele pū me nā hoaaloha/ʻohana)?
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Sandberg: "ʻO ka uhi hoʻihoʻi ʻana ʻo ia ka mea e hoʻonohonoho a mālama ka mea hoʻolako i ka halihali e pono ai inā make ke kanaka mai kahi maʻi a i ʻole ʻeha i ka wā e haʻalele ai i ka home. Hoʻopili maʻamau kēia pōmaikaʻi i ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana a me ka uku ʻana i nā lilo e pono ai a kūpono hoʻi e pili ana i ka embalming a me ka lawe ʻana i ke kino o ka mea i make i kahi kūpono ma ke ala pololei loa.

"E manaʻolana i ka mea maikaʻi loa, e hoʻolālā no ka mea maikaʻi loa, a mākaukau e kahaha." – Denis Waitley
E hoʻolālā i kāu huakaʻi. E ʻike i kahi e hele ai a me nā wahi e pale aku ai. He palekana ka hapa nui o ka honua no ka poʻe huakaʻi maʻamau. ʻO ka haʻalele ʻana mai nā wahi mākaʻikaʻi hiki ke alakaʻi i nā huakaʻi ʻaʻole i hoʻokomo ʻia i loko o nā puke alakaʻi huakaʻi, a ʻo ia ka manawa e komo ai ka pilikia i ka hoʻohālikelike. Ma nā wahi a pau āu e noho ai, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka makaʻala - ʻo ka poʻe scammers a me nā ʻaihue ke holo nei, ʻoi aku ma kahi o nā kahakai, nā mokulele, a me nā kahua kaʻaahi.
E hōʻalo i ke kaʻa ʻana ma nā wahi ʻaʻole mākaukau ʻoe i ka ʻōlelo a ʻaʻole kūpono paha nā kūlana alanui i kāu mau manaʻo. Ma nā wahi he nui o ka honua, hiki i nā alanui a me nā ʻano kaʻa ke pilikia a hiki ʻole ke ʻike ʻia. Manaʻo ʻia e hoʻopaʻa i kahi hui huakaʻi kaulana a hoʻolimalima paha i kahi kaʻa kaʻa pilikino (i ʻōlelo ʻia e kou hōkele, kāu huakaʻi huakaʻi, a i ʻole nā hoaaloha) e alakaʻi iā ʻoe ma nā wahi i loaʻa ʻole ka halihali lehulehu.
E hōʻalo i ka launa pū ʻana me nā mea kūʻai lāʻau a me nā wahine hoʻokamakama. He mea akaka paha kēia, akā hiki i nā mea hoʻokele kaʻa a me nā mea kūʻai kahakai aloha ke hāʻawi i nā lāʻau lapaʻau no ke kālā. ʻOiai e like paha ia me kahi hoʻololi maikaʻi ʻole i kēia manawa, ʻo nā ʻōnaehana kānāwai ma nā ʻāina he nui ke kūʻai a/a i ʻole ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā lāʻau lapaʻau i nā hewa koʻikoʻi, a hoʻopiʻi ikaika nā mākaʻi a me nā ʻōnaehana hoʻokolokolo i kekahi mea i manaʻo ʻia he kuleana a/a kūʻai paha. ʻO ka hoʻolilo ʻana i nā makahiki e hiki mai ana i loko o ka hale paʻahao haole ʻaʻole ia ke ala maikaʻi loa e hoʻopaʻa i kahi hoʻomaha.

He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- According to the US government site, “The wide availability of weapons, the use and trade of illicit drugs, and a weak criminal justice system contribute to a high level of criminality on the broader scale.
- Sandberg suggests that travelers who booked their travel within the last 7-21 days may be able to purchase a travel insurance plan with an option “Cancel for Any Reason” upgrade, allowing cancellation 48 hours or more prior to departure for a partial reimbursement.
- According to Sandberg, “Policies with DR as the primary destination purchased year to date are up close to 50 percent over the same period… In particular, this month, policies sold with DR as primary destination are up over 75 percent over the average for the prior three months.
