No ke aha lā ʻaʻole ʻo Israel kahi mākaʻikaʻi mākaʻikaʻi?

E hoʻopau paha ka makahiki 2009 me ka huina nui o 2.5 miliona mau mea mākaʻikaʻi i komo i loko o ka ʻIseraʻela - he kiʻi e like me nā mea i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i kēlā me kēia makahiki i nā makahiki he ʻumi i hala. ʻO ia hoʻi, ua hōʻea ka mākaʻikaʻi i ka ʻIseraʻela i kahi pāpū.

I kekahi mau mahina i hala aku nei, ʻoiai ʻo ke Kuhina Nui ʻo Benjamin Netanyahu e hoʻāʻo nei e hōʻuluʻulu i kahi hui hui, ua hāʻawi ʻo Israel's Hotel Association (IHA) i kahi hōʻike i wehe ʻia me ka noi, "Mr. Kuhina Nui, aia kahi waiwai huna i loko o ka ʻIseraʻela. He kumu waiwai kēia i mamao loa mai ka hoʻomohala ʻia ʻana, waiwai a me ka hiki, he kumuwaiwai e hiki ke hoʻonui i ka ulu a me ka hana - mākaʻikaʻi!

Akā ʻaʻole i hoʻomaikaʻi ka huaʻōlelo o Netanyahu i ka mākaʻikaʻi, ʻoiai ka piʻi ʻana o nā waihona kālā hoʻolaha ma waho a me ka heluna nui o ka ʻIseraʻela o nā hoʻomana haipule, archaeological a kūlohelohe, nā wahi mākaʻikaʻi.

ʻO kekahi kumu o kēia, ʻo ka ʻimi maʻamau o ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi i nā wahi maluhia. No laila, ʻo nā kaua a me nā hoʻouka kaua weliweli e noʻonoʻo nei ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi inā e palekana ka ʻIseraʻela i ka manawa o kā lākou hoʻomaha hoʻomaha, a nui ka poʻe i haʻalele i ka huakaʻi.

Hōʻike ka ʻikepili mai ka Central Bureau of Statistics i ka pōʻino i hana ʻia e ka paʻa ʻole o ka ʻāina i ka ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi ma ʻIseraʻela. I ka makahiki 1999, ʻoi aku ma mua o 2.5 miliona mau mākaʻikaʻi i kipa aku i ka ʻIseraʻela mai nā ʻāina ʻē, a i nā mahina ʻeiwa mua o 2000 aia he 2.6 miliona mau helu.

Eia nō naʻe, i ʻOkakopa o 2000, ma hope o ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka Intifada lua a me nā haunaele Arab kūloko, ua pau ka huakaʻi i ka ʻIseraʻela. I ka makahiki 2001, he 1.2 miliona ka nui o nā mea i komo. I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka instability i ka makahiki 2002, ua emi ka nui o nā mea komo, a ʻo 882,000 wale nō ka poʻe i kipa aku i ka ʻIseraʻela i kēlā makahiki.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Ami Etgar, Luna Hoʻokele o ka Israel Incoming Tour Operators Association (IITOA), ʻoiai ʻo nā pilikia palekana he mea paʻakikī loa ia no ka ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi, ʻo nā kumu ʻē aʻe e paʻakikī i nā hui nui ke kipa aku i ka ʻIseraʻela.

"I loko o ka ʻIseraʻela ʻaʻohe kokoke i nā kaulahao hōkele honua no ka mea ʻaʻole makemake ka poʻe ʻoihana mai nā ʻāina ʻē e hoʻokomo i (ka ʻāina)," wahi āna. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Etgar, pono e hala kekahi mau makahiki maluhia i mea e huki ai i nā mea hoʻopukapuka. "Akā ʻo ka hapa nui (nā ʻoihana ʻoihana) pono i ke kōkua i ka wehe ʻana i nā pale bureaucratic," wahi āna.

ʻO kekahi mea keakea no ka huakaʻi hele mai ʻo ke Kuhina Kalaiaina, wahi a Etgar. "I kekahi mau pule i hala aku nei, ua manaʻo ʻia kahi hui o 15 mau ʻoihana e hōʻea mai ʻaneʻi mai Turkey," wahi āna. "Ua makemake ko lākou huakaʻi huakaʻi e hoʻopaʻa iā lākou i nā visa no ka ʻIseraʻela, akā ua koi ke Kuhina Kalaiaina i kahi waihona NIS 50,000 ($13,200).

ʻO nā ʻano kālā ʻē aʻe ka pilikia no nā hui nui - ʻo ia hoʻi nā kumukūʻai kiʻekiʻe i kau ʻia e nā hōkele. No ka mea he nui nā hui e mākaʻikaʻi i Ioredane a me ʻAigupita i ko lākou kipa ʻana, makemake lākou e moe i ka pō ma kēia mau ʻāina, kahi i ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hoʻokipa.

"Ma 1987 1.5 miliona mau mākaʻikaʻi i hele mai i ka ʻIseraʻela, a ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia he 8.3 miliona mau hōkele hotel," wahi a Etgar. "I ka makahiki 2009 aia paha he 2.5 miliona mau mākaʻikaʻi e hiki mai ana, akā ʻaʻole e ʻoi aku ka nui o nā hale hōkele ma mua o 8 miliona. Ua ʻōlelo nui kēia. "
