“Recent news articles have favored the sensational rather than the fact in decrying the lack of benefit felt by the poor ahead of the 2010 FIFA World Cup™,” said Cape Town Tourism CEO, Mariette du Toit-Helmbold, in response to media articles that South Africa’s FIFA World Cup project has failed its citizens.
Nanging, ujare Du Toit-Helmbold, Piala Donya FIFA ora nate ditawakake minangka solusi emas kanggo mlarat: "Sanadyan kasunyatane pemisahan wis ora diatur pirang-pirang dekade kepungkur, faktor sosio-ekonomi tegese kutha-kutha isih dadi bagean saka Lanskap Afrika Kidul. Pamrentah wis sawetara wektu ngluncurake program pembangunan omah lan mbangun prasarana masyarakat ing kutha-kutha, lan iki mesthi ndadekake komunitas kasebut luwih bisa dienggoni. Nanging mlarat minangka warisan apartheid, kayadene ngilangi wong-wong saka omah-omahé alam, lan iku isih dadi upaya pamaréntah, bisnis, lan masyarakat. Piala Donya FIFA ™ wis nggawe lapangan kerja ing sawetara sektor, nanging iki dudu jawaban kanggo kabeh masalah kita.
Akeh crita media fokus ing Blikkiesdorp, sing wis dicap minangka apa wae saka "kamp konsentrasi" nganti "solusi penghapusan paksa." Nyatane, Blikkiesdorp minangka panggonan sauntara kanggo wong-wong ing darurat omah - kalebu wong-wong sing bakal diwenehi omah permanen. Du Toit-Helmbold ngakoni: "Blikkiesdorp adoh saka papan urip sing cocog, lan iki nggambarake kasunyatan urip kanggo akeh wong Afrika Kidul. Nanging mesthine dudu perwakilan lengkap saka kutha-kutha ing Cape Town.
Pariwisata Township minangka bagean penting lan nyenengake saka pengalaman Cape Town. Tur kutha kalebu ing 80 persen itinerary saka 122 grup media internasional sing dianakake Cape Town Tourism antara Januari lan Mei 2010. Ing Cape Town, wisata kasedhiya ing Langa, Gugulethu, Khayelitsha, Kayamandi, lan Lwandle ing ngendi operator berpengalaman wis kerja. karo komunitas penduduk kanggo netepake perspektif sing aman lan menarik babagan urip saben dina ing Cape Town. Interaktif lan enten sosial, wisata kasebut entuk tuku komunitas.
Du Toit-Helmbold ujar: "Operator wisata melu banget kanggo ngajari warga babagan mupangat pariwisata lan nindakake tugas tanggung jawab sosial sing akeh ing kana, nolak pangerten babagan eksploitasi. Kanggo akeh warga kutha enom, paparan industri pariwisata iki nyebabake kepinginan kanggo mlebu profesi kasebut. Kanggo wong liya, kayata perajin, restoran, lan musisi, tur kasebut minangka sumber daya urip. Piala Donya FIFA 2010 ™ dudu jawaban kanggo masalah kita, nanging, ing jangka panjang, pertumbuhan terus lan kelestarian sektor pariwisata bakal mbantu akeh wong supaya bisa ngatasi kahanane.
APA sing kudu dijupuk saka ARTIKEL INI:
- The 2010 FIFA World Cup™ is not the answer to our problems but, in the long run, the continued growth and mindful sustainability of the tourism sector will go a long way towards helping many people rise above their circumstances.
- “Recent news articles have favored the sensational rather than the fact in decrying the lack of benefit felt by the poor ahead of the 2010 FIFA World Cup™,” said Cape Town Tourism CEO, Mariette du Toit-Helmbold, in response to media articles that South Africa's FIFA World Cup project has failed its citizens.
- But poverty is the legacy of apartheid, as is the removal of people from their natural homes, and it is something that government, business, and community are still struggling to rise above.
