Kodi Bungwe Latsopano la Zoyendera ku US lingakope alendo?

Malamulo azaumoyo atha kukhala akulemba mitu yambiri masiku ano, koma siziri kutali ndi bilu yokhayo yomwe ikuzungulira ku Capitol Hill. Lamulo linanso latsopano lomwe likupita mwakachetechete kupita ku desiki la Purezidenti Obama ndi Travel Promotion Act (TPA) - lavomerezedwa kale ndi Nyumba ya Seneti ndipo tsopano lili kutsogolo kwa Nyumbayo - lomwe lingakhazikitse bungwe loyamba lopanda phindu mdziko muno.

Pafupifupi dziko lililonse padziko lapansi, lalikulu ndi laling'ono, lili ndi dipatimenti yowona zokopa alendo kuti akope alendo kuti abwere kugombe lake. Tunisia yaying'ono ili ndi maofesi 24 okopa alendo m'maiko 19 padziko lonse lapansi. South Africa ili ndi maofesi 10 m'makontinenti anayi. America alibe, akudalira m'malo mwaokha kuti akope alendo. "Ndege, oyendetsa alendo, mahotela - ali ndi udindo wopititsa patsogolo America," akutero Henry Harteveldt, katswiri wofufuza zamalonda ku Forrester Research ku San Francisco. "Boma silinachite zinthu ngati izi ndipo chifukwa chake tasowa oyenda."

Zowonadi, ngakhale kuti maulendo apadziko lonse awonjezeka, kuchoka pa 124 miliyoni padziko lonse lapansi mu 2000 kufika pa 173 miliyoni chaka chatha, maulendo apachaka a alendo ku United States adatsika, kuchoka pa 26 miliyoni mu 2000 kufika pa 25.3 miliyoni mu 2008. zikuwoneka zazing'ono, mpaka mutaganizira kuti zawonongera dziko ndalama zokwana madola 27 biliyoni pamisonkho yotayika pazaka khumi zapitazi. Ndi kuchuluka kwa kusowa kwa ntchito tsopano kukuposa 10% ku US, zopindulitsa zachuma zaulendo wakunja sizinakhalepo zachangu, komabe alendo sanapezekepo. “Chaka chilichonse tikulandira alendo ocheperapo,” anadandaula motero Geoff Freeman, wachiwiri kwa pulezidenti wa bungwe la US Travel, lomwe ndi gulu lotsogola kwambiri lolimbikitsa za maulendo.

Kuthandiza kuti apaulendo asachoke ndikuletsa zoletsa ma visa, njira zolimba zolowera m'madesiki olowa komanso kuwonjezeka kwamalingaliro odana ndi America chifukwa cha nkhondo za ku Iraq ndi Afghanistan. Harteveldt anati: “Tinkaona kuti alendo ochokera kumayiko ena molakwika ankangoganiza kuti angobwerabe.

Owonera ku Washington akuyembekeza kuti TPA idutsa Senate kumapeto kwa chaka. Ikakhazikitsidwa, ipanga mabungwe awiri atsopano - Office of Travel Promotion ndi Corporation for Travel Promotion - kuthandiza alendo akunja kulowa mdziko muno. Maofesiwa adzakhala ngati zothandizira kwa apaulendo aliyense payekha komanso makampani oyendayenda, kufotokozera malamulo a visa ndi zofunikira zolowera, kupereka deta yopita ndikuthandizira makampeni otsatsa. Chofunika koposa, polimbikitsa dziko lonselo - osati ndege kapena kopita - Othandizira a TPA ati ndalamazo zitha kukopa alendo opitilira 1.6 miliyoni kuti azichezera America chaka chilichonse. Izi zikutanthauza kuti ndalama zokwana madola 4 biliyoni zimapindula pazachuma, zomwe zingabweretse ntchito zatsopano 40,000.

"Lamulo latsopanoli ndi lokhudza kupanga ntchito ndi kulimbikitsa ntchito zachuma," akutero Senator Byron Dorgan (D-ND), yemwe ndi wothandizira wamkulu wa biluyo komanso membala wamkulu wa Senate Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing and Urban Development. "Zithandizanso kuyika nkhope yabwino pagulu," Dorgan akuwonjezera. “Ngakhale maiko ena akuyesetsa kukopa apaulendo, tikuwoneka kuti tikutumiza uthenga kuti sitikuwafuna kuno.

TPA ikhala ndi bajeti yofikira $200 miliyoni, zolipiridwa ndi zopereka zochokera ku mabungwe azidansi (mwachitsanzo, mahotela ndi ndege) ndi chindapusa chatsopano cha $ 10 chomwe chidzalipidwa ndi mlendo aliyense wolowa kunja yemwe safuna visa yolowera. Chomalizachi chakhala chotsutsana - makamaka kwa apaulendo ambiri aku Europe omwe amayenera kulimbana ndi ndalama zowonjezerazo. Kazembe John Bruton, wamkulu wa nthumwi za European Commission ku United States, adati msonkho womwe ungakhalepo "watsankho" m'mawu a Seputembala, ndipo adachenjeza kuti "kutha kukhala "kubwerera m'mbuyo poyeserera kwathu kusuntha kwa Atlantic."

Ngakhale kuti ndalamazo "zidzabisika" mkati mwa ndege, Harteveldt akuda nkhawa kuti pamapeto pake zitha kuthana ndi zoyeserera za TPA "ndikubweranso kudzativutitsa." Koma Senator Dorgan akuti $ 10 ndiyotsika kwambiri kuposa zolipiritsa zofananira - kuyambira msonkho wolowera ku Ireland $ 14 mpaka $ 100 yaku UK - yolipidwa ndi aku America akamapita kunja. Ndipo ndi mayiko 35 okha omwe angafunikire kulipira ndalamazo, ochepera 30% aulendo wakunja ndi omwe akhudzidwa.

Patha zaka zoposa khumi kuchokera pamene Boma la US lidayesa koyamba ofesi yowona zokopa alendo. Mu 1996, pansi pa Purezidenti Bill Clinton, US National Tourism Organisation idakhazikitsidwa, koma idasiyidwa zaka zitatu pambuyo pake chifukwa chosakwanira ndalama za DRM - monga momwe adayeserera mu 2001 ndi 2003. , zikuwoneka kuti zapeza thandizo lokwanira kuti likhazikitsidwe kukhala lamulo - ndikulipiridwa kuti lichitepo kanthu. US Travel's Freeman avomereza kuti pakhala chaka china kuti Office of Travel Promotion iyambe kugwira ntchito. Koma ali ndi chidaliro kuti Washington izindikira phindu lakuwonjezeka kwa maulendo akunja kuti dziko libwererenso bwino. "Ichi ndiye chipatso chotsika kwambiri pakukonza chuma," akutero Freeman. "Ndi yankho lodziwikiratu momwe mungaganizire - ndipo tikuganiza kuti Secretary Clinton ndi Purezidenti Obama amazindikira izi."
