Ua hana mau ʻo Juergen Thomas Steinmetz i ka ʻoihana huakaʻi a me ka ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi mai kona wā ʻōpio ma Kelemania, ma ke ʻano he mākaʻikaʻi huakaʻi a i kēia manawa ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻopuka no kekahi o nā puke huakaʻi a heluhelu nui loa i ka honua. ʻO ia hoʻi ka luna o ka International Council of Tourism Partners (ICTP).

ʻO kāna mau ʻike e pili ana i ka hana ʻana a me ka hui pū ʻana me nā keʻena mākaʻikaʻi ʻāina like ʻole a me nā hui ʻole aupuni, a me nā hui pilikino a me ka waiwai ʻole, i ka hoʻolālā, hoʻokō, a me ka hoʻomalu maikaʻi ʻana i nā ʻano huakaʻi a me nā hana a me nā papahana e pili ana i ka mākaʻikaʻi. nā kulekele a me nā kānāwai. ʻO kāna mau ikaika nui ka ʻike nui o ka huakaʻi a me ka mākaʻikaʻi mai ka manaʻo o kahi mea nona ka ʻoihana pilikino kūleʻa, nā mākau pūnaewele maikaʻi loa, alakaʻi ikaika, mākaukau kamaʻilio maikaʻi, mea pāʻani ikaika, nānā i nā kikoʻī, mahalo pono i ka hoʻokō ʻana i nā kaiapuni āpau. , a me nā mākau ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo ma nā pāʻani kālaiʻāina a me nā ʻano politika ʻole e pili ana i nā papahana mākaʻikaʻi, nā kulekele, a me nā kānāwai. Loaʻa iā ia ka ʻike piha o nā hana a me nā ʻano hana o kēia manawa a he kamepiula a me ka Internet junkie.
He aha nā mea hoʻoweliweli e kū nei e nā hale hoʻolaha koʻikoʻi a me ka ʻoihana i loko o ke kahe ʻana o ka ʻoihana pūnaewele?
STEINMETZ: ʻAʻole maopopo iaʻu inā maopopo iaʻu kāu nīnau. Hiki iaʻu ke noʻonoʻo i kekahi mau pilikia. Ma muli o ka nui o nā hoʻolaha pāpaho, pono paha e hana ma ka wikiwiki o ka media ʻoihana me nā alakaʻi e hōʻoia a kaulike i ka ʻike. Pono nā pāpaho koʻikoʻi e hoʻomaopopo he ʻokoʻa lākou mai ka pāhana kaiapili. Pono lākou e hoʻopuka i ka leka mau e mālama i ko lākou wahi ma ke ʻano he kumu nūhou hilinaʻi.
He mea maʻalahi ka mālama ʻana i kahi hale hoʻolaha huakaʻi a me ka mākaʻikaʻi, a i ʻole e lilo ka hoʻomau i mea nīnau?
STEINMETZ: Ke lilo nei ka hoʻomau i mea paʻakikī i kekahi ʻoihana. Me ka heluna o nā pāpaho hou, ka pāpili kaiapili, a me ka Pūnaewele, ua emi loa ka loaʻa kālā hoʻolaha i hoʻohālikelike ʻia i kekahi mau makahiki i hala. Ke ʻimi nei ʻo ETN, e like me nā media ʻē aʻe, i nā manawa loaʻa "ma waho o ka pahu" a ke emi nei ka hilinaʻi ʻana i ka hoʻolaha nūhou.
No ke aha ʻoe i koho ai i kahi ala paʻakikī o ka huakaʻi a me ka hoʻolaha nūhou, ʻoiai makemake ka poʻe e hoʻolohe a heluhelu e pili ana i ka politika, nā pōʻino, a pēlā aku? ʻAʻole maʻalahi ke kūʻai aku i nā pū ma mua o ka rose?
STEINMETZ: ʻIke mākou i kēia. Kūʻai nā helu a me nā nūhou pōʻino. Nānā mākou i nā poʻomanaʻo nui a me nā huaʻōlelo no ka loaʻa ʻana o ka poʻe heluhelu. ʻAʻole mākou kūʻai aku i nā "rose" - koʻikoʻi kā mākou ʻatikala a i kekahi manawa he pahū ke ʻano. “Rose”
ʻO ka nui o nā ʻatikala he advertorial.
E haʻi mai iā mākou i nā kala āu e makemake ai a me nā meaʻai āu e makemake ai e ʻai.
STEINMETZ: Aia wau i Hawaii, a he nui kā mākou meaʻai ʻAsia. Makemake au i ka meaʻai Thai, India/Pakistani, a me Iapana. ʻO 75% o kaʻu meaʻai ʻaʻole kaʻu meaʻai Kelemānia kuʻuna. Makemake au i ka ʻai ʻala a me ka meaʻai hou. ʻAʻole au nui i nā buffets a me ka meaʻai mua a i ʻole ka meaʻai wikiwiki. Makemake au i ka meaʻai ʻItalia, akā ua ʻōlelo mai koʻu kauka iaʻu ʻaʻole e ʻai nui.
E Thomas, he leka āu e makemake ai e hoʻouna aku i ka media a me nā mea pili i ka huakaʻi a me ka mākaʻikaʻi?
STEINMETZ: Ua hana wau i kēia ʻoihana mai ka makahiki 1978, a makemake wau iā ia. ʻO kaʻu ʻoihana kaʻu mea leʻaleʻa. ʻAʻole loa wau e lilo i miliona, akā ʻo ka launa pū ʻana me nā poʻe a puni ka honua a me kā mākou ʻoihana he mea leʻaleʻa. He ʻoihana koʻikoʻi e mālama i ka maluhia a me ka ʻike. Hiki i ka mākaʻikaʻi ke kōkua i ka ʻike honua, i kahi honua ākea, a i kahi honua ʻoi aku ke kuleana.
He aha kāu mau pahuhopu i ke ola? Pehea kou ʻoluʻolu i kāu hana a me ke kūlana maʻamau i ka ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi?
STEINMETZ: Aloha au i kaʻu hana. ʻO ka hana ʻana iā 24/7/365 ʻaʻole ia he mea aʻu e mihi ai. Nui koʻu mau hoaaloha ma ka ʻoihana, a makemake au e hālāwai me nā kānaka a hauʻoli i kaʻu ʻoihana. ʻAʻole hiki iaʻu ke noʻonoʻo e hana i kekahi mea ʻē aʻe. ʻO kaʻu pahuhopu, ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo ka hoʻomaka ʻana e mālama kālā no koʻu hoʻomaha. ʻAʻole kēia ʻoihana he ʻoihana uku nui, no laila hiki ke lilo i mea paʻakikī i kekahi manawa.
Inā hāʻawi wau iā ʻoe i hoʻokahi mahina hoʻomaha, ma hea ʻoe e makemake ai e hoʻolilo - he aha kahi huakaʻi a no ke aha?
STEINMETZ: Makemake au e noho i ka home. Ua hele au i nā lā he 170 i ka makahiki i hala. Noho au ma kekahi o nā mokupuni nani loa o ka honua. Hoʻokomo au i nā pālule pōkole a me nā pālule a me nā kāmaʻa paʻa i ka lā a pau, a ke nānā aku nei au i kekahi o nā kahakai nani loa āu e loaʻa ai ma nā wahi āpau. Ke hele au, hauʻoli au i nā kūlanakauhale nui e like me Jakarta, Bangkok, Berlin, Lādana, a me Hong Kong -¬ ʻo lākou kaʻu mau kūlanakauhale punahele. Makemake au i nā ʻāina mauna. ʻO kahi huakaʻi hou i Nepal he mea maʻamau.
Mahalo nui iā ʻoe, e Thomas, no kou manawa a nīnauele. Mahalo hou.
