"Ke hele mai nei ka poʻe e ʻimi no ka ʻike me ka manaʻo ʻole e hoʻopaʻa i kā lākou huakaʻi me mākou," wahi a ka mea nona ka Travel With Us ʻo Francis da Silva, nāna e uku i nā mea kūʻai aku he $50.
"ʻO ka laina lalo, ʻaʻole lākou i uku no ka lawelawe."
ʻO kēia ka manawa huakaʻi ʻoi loa o ka makahiki ma Alberta, kahi e makemake nui ai ka poʻe e hoʻololi i ke anuanu hoʻoilo no hoʻokahi pule a ʻelua paha o ka lā wela.
ʻO ka kaulana o nā pūnaewele huakaʻi hana-i-yourself e hiki ai i ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi ke kākau i nā mea āpau mai nā mokulele i nā hōkele a i nā kaʻa kaʻa.
I kekahi manawa he mea nominal ka waihona, i kekahi manawa nui. ʻO kēlā me kēia ala, ua hoʻololi i ke ʻano hoʻokūkū o ka ʻoihana huakaʻi.
ʻO nā kumukūʻai kūkākūkā - i kapa ʻia nā uku nānā-i-puke e nā mea huakaʻi huakaʻi he nui - ke ulu nui nei i ka ʻoihana, wahi a Christiane Theberge, ka pelekikena a me ka Luna Nui o ka Association of Canadian Travel Agents.
"ʻIke mākou i ka poʻe e kūʻai nui aʻe ma ka Pūnaewele no nā ʻano lawelawe āpau, no laila he pilikia ia no mākou," wahi āna.
"Ke ʻoi aku ka nui o nā ʻoihana i ka uku kūkākūkā i ka poʻe e hele mai ana ma ka puka, e hoʻoholo inā he koʻikoʻi lākou a ʻaʻole ʻimi wale i ka ʻike manuahi."
Ua ʻae ʻo Da Silva i ka puke ʻana o kekahi poʻe huakaʻi ma ka pūnaewele, akā pilikia ʻo ia me ka poʻe e hoʻohana mua i nā ʻoihana huakaʻi no ka ʻike, e hoʻokaʻawale i ka manawa mai ka uku ʻana i nā mea kūʻai aku.
E like me ka ulu ʻana o nā ʻelele, hoʻomaka ʻo ia e noi i nā mea kūʻai aku no ke kālā ma mua e hoʻopili ʻia i ke kumukūʻai o kahi huakaʻi inā kākau ʻia kekahi, akā ʻaʻole e hoʻihoʻi ʻia inā ʻaʻole. Hiki ke uku mai $50 a i $100.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Lesley Paull, o Paull Travel, he ʻoihana maikaʻi nā uku.
"Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe e hoʻolimalima iā ia, pono ʻoe," wahi a Paull.
"ʻO kahi hui huakaʻi e like me nā ʻoihana ʻē aʻe a i ʻole ʻoihana lawelawe. Hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa i kekahi mau ʻike no ka manuahi mai nā loio a i ʻole nā mea helu kālā. Manaʻo wau ʻaʻole ʻokoʻa nā hui huakaʻi.
"ʻO kā mākou ʻoihana he hana nui loa. ʻAʻole loaʻa iā mākou nā hola ʻē aʻe i ka lā e ʻimi ai i ka ʻike no ka mea koʻikoʻi ʻole.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Theberge he mea maʻamau nā uku ma waena o nā keʻena nui, akā ʻuʻuku i nā mea liʻiliʻi, ke kānalua nei i ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana i nā mea kūʻai aku.
Ua helu ʻo Audrey Edwards iā ia iho i waena o nā mea hope.
"Makemake au i ka hana ʻana, hana maoli wau," wahi a Edwards, nona ka Algonquin Travel ma Sherwood Park Mall.
Akā ua maʻamau ka pilikia o ka manawa i hala i ka makahiki i hala, wahi āna.
I kēia mau lā, ua hele mai kahi wahine i kona keʻena e kākau i kahi holo moana Mediterranean a ua hoʻolimalima kekahi o kāna mau ʻelele i ʻekolu mau hola e hoʻonohonoho i nā kikoʻī paʻakikī.
"Ma hope o ka loaʻa ʻana o ka ʻike i ka wahine, ua kākau ʻo ia ma ka pūnaewele," wahi a Edwards.
I loko o kahi ʻoihana lawelawe e hilinaʻi nei i ka ʻoihana hou, nui nā ʻelele e kānalua i ka nīnau a i ʻole e kūʻē i nā mea kūʻai aku, wahi āna.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Theberge hiki i nā ʻelele ke hui pinepine a paʻi paha i nā ʻaelike pūnaewele inā loaʻa iā lākou ka manawa. Mālama pū lākou i nā mea kūʻai aku e pili ana i nā hoʻonohonoho huakaʻi, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā manawa lele, e loli pinepine.
ʻO ka mea nui ke kuleana, ʻoiai inā hewa kekahi mea, wahi a Theberge.
"Aia kekahi poʻe i loaʻa nā ʻike weliweli i ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana ma ka pūnaewele, hiki ke lilo i ʻano kaʻina hana ʻole.
"He aha ka mea inā e hoʻopaʻa ʻia ʻoe? ʻO wai kāu e kamaʻilio nei inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi ʻike maikaʻi ʻole?"
