Ua mamao loa ka haunaele politika o ʻAigupita i koʻu kākau ʻana i kēia ʻatikala i kēia manawa. Ua hōʻike ʻia kahi ʻano o nā "poʻe loea" Middle East ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa i nā ʻano hiʻohiʻona like ʻole a pololei paha kekahi.
ʻO ka mea ma waho o ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa ʻana, ʻo nā hanana i kēia manawa ma ʻAigupita he pōʻino no ke kiʻi o ka ʻāina ma ke ʻano he wahi mākaʻikaʻi. ʻOiai ʻo kekahi mau wahi o ʻAigupita e like me ke kahakai ʻo Red Sea a me Sinai i kaʻawale ʻole i ka hana ʻino, ʻo ka hiki i nā mākaʻikaʻi honua ke komo a haʻalele paha iā ʻAigupita e kaohi nui ʻia e like me ka hiki ke hele i loko o ka ʻāina.
ʻO ka pilikia politika ma ʻAigupita ka hopena maikaʻi ʻole i ka mākaʻikaʻi i nā hoalauna o ʻAigupita. Nui nā malihini i Libya e komo i Libya mai ʻAigupita. Nui nā mākaʻikaʻi mākaʻikaʻi i hui pū i nā huakaʻi o ʻAigupita i hui pū ʻia me Ioredane, ʻIseraʻela a me Suria i kēlā me kēia a i ʻole nā hui lehulehu. ʻO ka mea maʻamau, ʻo ʻAigupita ke kumu nui o kēia mau papahana huakaʻi hui. No laila, aia ka hopohopo maoli i ka wā e loaʻa ai ʻo ʻAigupita i ka maʻi maʻi maʻi maʻi, hiki i kona mau hoalauna ke loaʻa i ka maʻi maʻi.
ʻOiaʻiʻo, hiki i kekahi poʻe huakaʻi e makemake e kipa i nā wahi he nui o Eastern Med hiki ke hoʻopaneʻe i kā lākou huakaʻi huakaʻi i kekahi o kēia mau wahi a hiki i ka ʻike ʻia ʻana o ʻAigupita he wahi palekana. ʻO ka hopena ripple ma nā wahi e pili ana he hopena pinepine ia o kahi kūlana pilikia ma hoʻokahi ʻāina, ʻoiai inā he mau palena pili kēia ʻāina e like me ʻAigupita.
Eia nō naʻe, e hoʻoholo ʻia a ʻoiai ʻo ka mākaʻikaʻi ʻo ia ka ʻoihana nui loa o ʻAigupita a me ka loaʻa kālā o ka honua e makemake nui ka ʻāina e hoʻihoʻi i ka mākaʻikaʻi i ka hikiwawe loa, E like me ke ʻano o nā hoʻolaha hoʻihoʻi huakaʻi āpau, pono ʻo ʻAigupita i kahi māhoe māhoe. e pili ana i ka hoʻihoʻi ʻana i ka inoa o ka huakaʻi i ka lehulehu a me ka ʻoihana huakaʻi.
Ma kahi ʻatikala eTN i hala iho nei, ua hāpai au i koʻu hopohopo i ka pūnaewele ʻo Egyptian Tourism Authority i ka nānā ʻole ʻana i nā pilikia o kēia manawa. ʻAʻohe wahi ma kahi pūnaewele puni honua o ke keʻena mākaʻikaʻi o kēia ao no ka hele ʻana o kahi monkey akamai ʻekolu (ʻaʻole ʻike i ka hewa, ʻaʻole ʻōlelo ʻino, ʻaʻohe lohe ʻino) i kahi pilikia mākaʻikaʻi e like me ʻAigupita.
Eia naʻe, aia kekahi nūhou maikaʻi. Ke kūkulu nei ka Egyptian Tourism Authority i kahi hoʻolālā e hoʻomaka hou i ka mākaʻikaʻi ʻAigupita ma hope o ka pau ʻana o ka pilikia. ʻIke wau i kēia no ka mea ʻo ka hui aʻu i hoʻokumu ai ma Australia ke pāʻani nei i ke kuleana koʻikoʻi ma ka liʻiliʻi loa e pili ana i ka mākeke kumu Australia. I ka makahiki 2010, ʻoi aku ma mua o 80,000 poʻe Australia i kipa aku iā ʻAigupita- he moʻolelo i nā manawa a pau. Eia nō naʻe, i nā lā he 10 i hala iho nei, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia nā tausani he nui, ʻo kekahi e ke aupuni Australia.
Pono nā poʻe huakaʻi hele a me ka ʻoihana e nānā i ke kiʻi lōʻihi. Ke holo nei ka Eastern Mediterranean Tourism Association (Australia) www.emta.org.au i ʻehā mau ahiahi huahana huakaʻi nui i nā pule mua ʻelua o Malaki ma Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane a me ka Sunshine Coast. Ma kēlā me kēia o kēia mau hanana, ke komo nei ke Keʻena Hoʻokalakupua o ʻAigupita ma ke ʻano he 18 o nā mea hōʻikeʻike a e hoʻohana i nā ahiahi EMTA e hoʻomaka i kā lākou hoʻolaha e hiki mai ana no ka paipai ʻana i nā huakaʻi Australia e hoʻi mai. i kahi anaina o kahi 600 mau huakaʻi huakaʻi Australia a me ka hale paʻi kālepa Australia. ʻO kekahi o ka mea hōʻike EMTA ʻo ia ka mea hoʻokele huakaʻi kūʻai nui o Australia, ʻo Bunnik Travel, nona ka Luna Nui ʻo Dennis Bunnik i hele i ʻAigupita a kōkua i ka hoʻihoʻi ʻana mai o hoʻokahi haneli o kāna mau mea kūʻai ponoʻī ma ʻAigupita a me nā mea huakaʻi ʻē aʻe ʻē aʻe o Australia i stranded ʻaʻole kāna mau mea kūʻai. E haʻi ʻo Dennis i kāna mau hana lima mua ma ʻAigupita ma nā hanana EMTA.
ʻO EMTA, a me aʻu ma ke ʻano he kākau ʻōlelo aupuni, ke hilinaʻi nei e hoʻihoʻi hou ka mākaʻikaʻi ʻAigupita akā e pili ana i kahi ala e kūkulu hou ai i ka hilinaʻi. ʻO kahi mea nui e hoʻoponopono i nā pilikia palekana i hiki i nā aupuni mai nā mākeke kumu nui ke hōʻoiaʻiʻo ʻia e nā hōʻike paʻakikī e hoʻohaʻahaʻa i ka pae o ka makaʻala palekana i kā lākou mau ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo huakaʻi. Ma hope o kēlā, hiki ke hoʻokomo ʻia ka nui o nā ala kūʻai aku a me nā mea hoʻoikaika e hoʻihoʻi i ke kālepa a me ka hilinaʻi huakaʻi.
