LONDON - Me ka paona i nā haʻahaʻa hou e kū'ē i ka euro a me ke kālā i ka hopena o 2008, ua nānā maikaʻi ʻo Beretania i ka waiwai maikaʻi o ka male Maltese ʻo Mario lāua ʻo Josanne Cassar. Ua kūʻai lākou i ʻelua ʻeke no ka loaʻa ʻana o kā lākou mau mea kūʻai i ka home.
"Aneane hoʻohenehene, nā kumukūʻai a mākou e uku nei," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo Mario ʻoiai ʻo lāua me kāna wahine i kipa aku ai i ka Halepule o St Paul ma Lākana.
ʻAʻole ʻo lākou wale nō ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi i huki ʻia i Beretania e nā mea i ʻike ʻia ma Big Ben, Stonehenge a i ʻole kahi hānau o Shakespeare. Ma luna aʻe o ka paona nāwaliwali, ʻo nā hoʻemi kiʻekiʻe i hāʻawi ʻia e nā mea kūʻai kālā i hoʻopaʻa ʻia e lawe mai i nā poʻe e kūʻai.
"He ʻuʻuku ka hale noho, ʻuʻuku ka meaʻai a ua kūʻai mākou i nā lole he nui," wahi a Mario 50 makahiki.
Me ka hoʻokele waiwai o Beretania i hoʻohuli a me ka uku ukupanee i ko lākou haʻahaʻa loa i ka mōʻaukala, ʻo 2008 ka makahiki nāwaliwali loa no ka paona mai ka makahiki 1971. Ua hāʻule ʻo Sterling i ka 27 pakeneka kūʻē i ke kālā a ua loaʻa i ka Euro he 30 pakeneka e kūʻē iā ia e lawe i nā mea ʻelua i loko o ka mamao o ka parity no ka. ka manawa mua.
ʻO ke kālā Pelekane i ka Pōʻalua ua paʻi hoʻi i kahi haʻahaʻa kokoke i 14 mau makahiki e kū'ē i ka yen.
I ka mahina i hala iho nei, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia ka lawelawe kaʻa kaʻa kaʻa Eurostar i ka piʻi ʻana o 15 pakeneka o nā poʻe kaʻa mai Brussels a me Palisa.
Akā inā lilo ʻo Pelekane i mea hoʻokalakupua no ka poʻe hahai holoholona, ke alo nei ka poʻe Pelekane ma waho i ka emi ʻana o ka mana hoʻolimalima a ke noʻonoʻo nei kekahi i nā wahi hoʻomaha hoʻomaha hale.
Makemake ka ʻoihana e paʻi i kēia ʻano e hoʻolaha ai iā Pelekane ʻo ia ka "ʻāina waiwai maikaʻi loa ma ke ao komohana".
Ua hoʻomaka mua ia i kahi hoʻolaha e hoʻowalewale i ka poʻe Pelekania e noho ma ka home a ma ʻApelila he 6.5 miliona paona ($ 9.4 miliona) hoʻolaha, kākoʻo ʻia e ke aupuni a e hoʻomaka ka ʻoihana i ka hoʻāʻo ʻana e hoʻowalewale i nā malihini, ʻoi loa mai nā ʻāina eurozone a me ʻAmelika ʻĀkau. .
"Hiki iaʻu ke ʻōlelo maoli ʻaʻole he manawa maikaʻi loa e kipa aku ai iā Pelekane," i haʻi aku ai ʻo Christopher Rodrigues, ka luna o ka hui mākaʻikaʻi aupuni VisitBritain, i haʻi aku iā Reuters.
"Pono mākou e hoʻohana pono i ke kūlana i ʻike ʻole ʻia o ka paona," wahi a Rodrigues, me ka ʻōlinolino o ka loea loea. "He manawa kūpono kēia e kūʻai aku ai iā Pelekane."
Ua haʻi ʻo ia i ka hana noʻeau o ka ʻāina, ka moʻomeheu, nā haʻuki, nā hoʻoilina a me nā kua'āina: nui ka mea e pili ana.
Hoʻopuka ka mākaʻikaʻi i 85 biliona paona i kēlā me kēia makahiki no ka hoʻokele waiwai Pelekane, 6.4 pākēneka o ka huahana kūloko nui, a i ʻole 114 biliona paona ke hoʻokomo ʻia nā ʻoihana kūʻokoʻa - e lilo ia i ʻoihana ʻelima nui o ka ʻāina.
ʻO ka hapa nui o ka loaʻa kālā - 66 biliona paona - mai ka hoʻolimalima hale, no laila pono ka ʻoihana i ka poʻe Pelekane e noho i ka home.
Ke ʻimi nei ka poʻe Pelekane ʻike kālā i nā lā hoʻomaha liʻiliʻi e like me ke kahua hoʻomoana: ua ʻōlelo ka Camping and Caravanning Club ua ʻike ʻia he 23 pakeneka ka piʻi ʻana o nā puke no 2009 mai Nowemapa i hoʻohālikelike ʻia me ka manawa like i ka makahiki i hala.
"Manaʻo mākou e ʻike i ka ulu nui ʻana," wahi a kāna ʻōlelo a Matthew Eastlake.
Akā ma mua o ka hōʻaiʻē ʻana, ʻo ka mākaʻikaʻi ma ka ʻāina i loko o ka doldrums, underperforming global awelika ulu, wahi a ka hui kalepa ʻo Tourism Alliance.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻia ua hāʻule ka hapa o Pelekane i nā loaʻa mākaʻikaʻi honua ma kahi o 20 pakeneka i nā makahiki he 10 i hala iho nei, a ua emi iho ka loaʻa kālā o nā mākaʻikaʻi kūloko ma mua o 25 pakeneka.
Ua hoʻomaka ʻia ka emi ʻana e ka maʻi maʻi wāwae a me ka waha ma nā mahiʻai Pelekania i ka makahiki 2001, ka mea i pani i ka hapa nui o ka ʻāina i ka poʻe malihini kipa, a me ka hoʻouka ʻana i ka ʻoihana kaʻa o Lākana i Iulai 2005, ʻoiai ka nele o ka hoʻopukapuka kālā a me ka loaʻa ʻana o nā kumukūʻai. hoʻohui ʻia nā lā hoʻomaha haole i ka pilikia.
Eia kekahi, ʻaʻole i kōkua ka wā maikaʻi ʻole a me ka manaʻo lōʻihi o nā hōkele ʻino, ka waiwai maikaʻi ʻole a me ka lawelawe surly, wahi a VisitBritain's Rodrigues.
Ua hoʻomaopopo ʻo ia ua hoʻomanawanui nā malihini i ka hāʻawi ʻole ʻana i nā mea maʻamau e like me nā kāwele maʻemaʻe a me ka lawelawe ʻana me ka ʻakaʻaka, a ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia he ʻumi kaukani o nā hana i ka pilikia i ka wā o ke kaʻe ʻana ke ʻole e hoʻokiʻekiʻe ʻia nā kūlana.
"Aia mākou i kēia manawa i kahi e pono ai ʻoe e hana i ka maikaʻi," wahi āna.
Ua kuhikuhi pū ʻo Rodrigues i nā hoʻomaikaʻi. Ua ʻike hou ʻia nā wahi kūlanakauhale kaumaha, e like me Liverpool.
ʻO ke kūlanakauhale ʻākau, i ʻike ʻia a puni ka honua ma ke ʻano he home no ka Beatles a me ka hui pôpeku ʻo Liverpool FC, ua kapa hou ʻia i ka makahiki i hala ʻo European Capital of Culture.
ʻO ke Kuhina Nui ʻo Gordon Brown i ke kauwela i hala aku nei ua hana ʻo ia i kāna mea e hoʻolaha ai i ka mākaʻikaʻi Pelekane, e hoʻomaha ana ma Suffolk, ma ke kahakai hikina, ʻokoʻa i kona aloha mua ʻo Tony Blair no Italia.
Ua hāʻule ka makemake o ka poʻe Pelekane i ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i nā mokulele ma waho he 42 pakeneka i ka pule mua o Ianuali mai ka manawa like o ka makahiki i hala, e like me ka nānā ʻana i ka hana pūnaewele Hitwise.
Akā ʻaʻole ia he manaʻo e noho lākou i ka home.
"Me he mea lā ke hoʻokuʻu nei ka paona nāwaliwali i ka poʻe e lele ana i ka eurozone a me ka US, a ke nānā nei lākou i nā wahi me nā kumukūʻai hoʻololi ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi," wahi a Robin Goad, kāna luna noiʻi.
ʻO ka Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA), ka mea e hōʻike ana i nā mea huakaʻi a me nā mea huakaʻi huakaʻi, i ʻōlelo ʻia e kū mau ana ʻo Pelekane i ka hoʻokūkū koʻikoʻi mai nā hōkele ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi e like me Turkey, Egypt a me Morocco, he mea hoihoi ia i ka poʻe Pelekane e ʻimi i ka lā a me ka waiwai maikaʻi.
"ʻOiai ua nāwaliwali ka paona, aia nā ʻāina ma waho o ka Eurozone kahi e loaʻa ai kahi kumukūʻai maikaʻi," wahi a Sean Tipton, ka ʻōlelo a ABTA.
Akā ʻo Dorleta Otaegui, 30, a me kāna hoa noho ʻo Inaki Olavarrieta, 30, mai San Sebastian ma ke kūkulu ʻākau o Sepania - he ʻāina i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i ka recession a me ka loaʻa ʻole o ka hana ma ka European Union - ua hele mai i Ladana no nā kūʻai.
"ʻOliʻoli mākou ... ua ʻoi aku kā mākou kālā," wahi a Otaegui. "Maikaʻi loa nā mea ma ʻaneʻi."
