Huakaʻi ʻo Guam: he aha ka mea aʻe?

I hoʻokahi makahiki wale nō i hala aku nei e hoʻonui ana ka huakaʻi a me ka mākaʻikaʻi ma ka Teritori US ma ka Moana Pākīpika Komohana.

Ua hōʻike aku nā luna mākaʻikaʻi ʻo Guam Visitors Bureau (GVB) i ka Pōʻalima i ka manaʻo nui e pili ana i ka wehe mua ʻana o 2021 i ka mākaʻikaʻi i piʻi aʻe ka maʻi maʻi COVID-19, ʻoiai e ʻāʻōlelo ʻana hoʻi e pili ana i $ 579 miliona i loko o ka loaʻa kālā o nā loaʻa kālā mākaʻikaʻi no ka ʻoihana cannabis

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo GVB, ua kūlike me nā hopohopo e pili ana i ka hopena o ka ʻoihana cannabis i ka mākaʻikaʻi a me ke kiʻi o Guam ma ke ʻano he ʻohana.

Ma kahi hālāwai o ka papa ʻo GVB i ka Pōʻahā, hāʻawi nā luna i nā kikoʻī a me nā helu helu e pili ana i ka hopena o ka cannabis leʻaleʻa i ka hoʻokipa.

ʻO ka lohi o ka hoʻokele waiwai ma Guam kahi hopena o ka lilo o nā hana pilikino ma muli o ka maʻi ahulau, keu hoʻi i ka ʻoihana hoʻokipa. I ka wī ʻana o ka hana ʻole ma Malaki, ʻo ka hapa nui o nā nalowale hana he mau manawa hoʻomaha, akā hoʻomaka ia e loli.

ʻEiwa mau mahina ma hope o ka wāwahi ʻana o ka maʻi maʻi COVID-19 i ka hoʻokele waiwai o Guam, ke kū nei ka hoʻokele waiwai mua, waiho ana i nā tausani mai ka hana a hoʻoweliweli e pahu i nā kaukani he nui - ʻo nā wahine a me nā malihini - mai ka hana hana.

Ua hōʻike ʻo ka Guam Department of Labor ua hoʻonui ʻia ka nui o ka hana ʻole i 17.3% i Iune 2020, mai 4.6% o ka makahiki i hala.

Ma kāna hōʻike, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Perez e kū ana ʻo Guam ma kahi o 35% o nā mākeke mākaʻikaʻi ʻo Iapana a me Taiwan a me 40% o ka mākeke Korea me ka hoʻomaka ʻana o kahi ʻoihana cannabis leʻaleʻa.

E lilo ana ʻo Guam i 100% o nā huakaʻi hele kula mai Iāpana, Korea a me Taiwan, i ʻōlelo ʻo ia.

E lilo nō hoʻi ka "mākeke kālā," a i ʻole he kamaʻāina kiʻekiʻe, e huakaʻi mai Iāpana a me Taiwan e 50%, a me Korea e 100%.

E lilo ana ʻo Guam i 5% o nā makahiki mākaʻikaʻi mākaʻikaʻi liʻiliʻi - nā mea mai 25 a 49 mau makahiki, i hoʻohui ʻo Perez.

ʻO Perez lāua ʻo GVB lālā lālā ʻo Therese Arriola, he lālā no ka CCB, ua ʻōlelo ʻo GVB "kōkua" wale nō i kahi hōʻike hopena waiwai e pili ana i kahi ʻoihana cannabis mākua a CCB i kauoha ai. He hōʻike CCB ia, i ʻōlelo lākou.

ʻO ka hōʻike e pili ana i ka hopena o ka hoʻokele waiwai, i ʻōlelo ʻia, ua helu wale ʻia nā pōmaikaʻi o ka hoʻokumu ʻana i kahi ʻoihana hou a ʻaʻole i noʻonoʻo i nā hopena o ka hoʻokipa.

ʻO ke aʻo ʻana, i alakaʻi ʻia ma mua o ka maʻi maʻi COVID-19, i hoʻolālā ʻia i kahi $ 133 miliona i kēlā me kēia makahiki ke kūʻai aku nei i ka cannabis ke holo pono ka ʻoihana, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe.
