Il-protesta tas-Sibt kontra t-turisti fil-Ħawajj kienet xokk għal viżitaturi minn Waikiki li ħadu sewqan xeniku lejn in-Northshore ta ’Oahu biex jiltaqgħu mal-fkieren u joħorġu fil-ħafna mili ta’ Bajjiet tar-ramel abjad Northshore. Xi residenti fix-Xatt tat-Tramuntana ta ’Oahu jridu l-ewwel din il-parti sabiħa tal-gżejjer għan-nies tal-post.
Nhar is-Sibt grupp ta 'dimostranti "lokali" ma ħallewx il-parkeġġ karozzi tal-kiri mat-turisti fil-Bajja ta' Laniakea.
Around 50 local protesters showed up to Laniakea Beach with signs and not very much Aloha on Saturday to speak out against tourist traffic. The protester’s cars completely blocked off a popular road shoulder so no one else could park on the Mauka side of Kamehameha Highway near Laniakea Beach. This happened several years ago when concrete barriers were put up on Kamehameha Hwy to eliminate parking spots for beachgoers. A court rules in favor of tourism at that time.
Tourism is the largest business in the US State of Hawaii and watching the turtles adds to the magical experience of Aloha. This Aloha is gone when it comes to some residents on the Northshore. The problem is traffic. Tourism is also big business on Oahu’s Northshore. Some say the Northshore Chamber of Commerce is the only Chamber of Commerce in the World wanting to prevent business.
It-Turiżmu fil-Hawaii ilu jikber kull sena għal għexieren ta ’snin, iżda d-dħul ġenerali mit-turiżmu kien stabbli. Ir-riżultat huwa aktar turisti, magħrufa wkoll bħala "turiżmu żejjed." L-eTN kien irrapporta dwar Overtourims fil-Hawaii. Ikklikkja hawn biex taqra l-aħħar sommarju tal-eTN.
“Traffic is a big problem on the Northshore. I lived here for almost 30 years and traveling the 7 miles from my house in Pupukea to Haleiwa town used to take maximum 10 minutes. Now, most of the time you can be in your car for 45 minutes or more. To blame the tourists for this is offensive to me as a resident.”, said Juergen Steinmetz, publisher of eTurboNews, a Northshore resident.
“Tourism is everyone’s business, and everyone directly or indirectly in our State relies on tourism income. The problem is management, road condition or a smart solution to allow our visitors to experience the Aloha Spirit and enjoy our stunning nature. There is plenty to share.
"Mhuwiex dwar li tipprevjeni lil dawk li jmorru fuq il-bajja milli jiġu hawn, mhuwiex dwar li tgħajjat lit-turisti li huma l-klijenti tagħna, huwa dwar li l-Istat jibni awtostradi, postijiet ta 'parkeġġ, u jikkontrolla l-aċċess biex niżguraw li l-fkieren xorta jpoġġu tbissima fuq wiċċna u uċuħ tal-viżitaturi tagħna għall-ġenerazzjonijiet li ġejjin. Inħobb nara shuttle bus tagħmel ġirja tal-fekruna jew linja tal-ferrovija Ħawajjana li sservi l-bajjiet. "
Resident ieħor qal: “Is-sinjali bagħtu messaġġi ħżiena !!! Ma żammejtx sinjal għal dik ir-raġuni! Iva kien tajjeb li naraw it-traffiku jiċċaqlaq u iva sirna l-aħbarijiet li ġejjin u nintervistawna! Ir-realtà hi li mhumiex difetti tat-turisti huma l-belt u l-kontea darn u r-rappreżentanti tagħna ma jagħmlux xogħolhom !!! ”
“Jien ngħid li lkoll immorru l-ġimgħa d-dieħla u ma nibblukkawx il-lott imma nġibu lin-nies jivvolontarjaw biex ikunu fil-lott biex jagħtu parir lit-turisti li jekk jistgħu jaqsmu flimkien u jitolbuhom jekk jogħġbok jaqsmu f'kull tarf tal-lott fi grupp jgħidu kull 5 minuti minflok il-post kollu l-ħin kollu! "
Turist qal lil stazzjon tal-aħbarijiet lokali: ”Kont ftit offiż. Iva, ħassejt li kien kontrina li qed jippruvaw igawdu l-gżira u dak kollu li għandha x'toffri. "
Turist ieħor qal: "Ħsibt biss li aħna nikkontribwixxu għalihom ħafna, għad-dħul tagħhom u li jkunu aktar kuntenti jarawna."
Resident ieħor Northshore staqsa dan fuq Facebook: “Ħsibijiet? Jien għamilt dell lil HNN li nintervista xi koppja turistika u sibtha interessanti li tosserva. Jidher li bosta turisti jħossuhom intitolati għax iħallsu flus "tajbin" biex jaslu hawn, eċċ. U jistgħu jagħmlu dak kollu li jridu irrispettivament minn dak li xi ħadd jaħseb jew jimpurtah. Rajt personalment din l-attitudni ħafna personalment ma 'tours u ħbieb u nies jiġu jżuru ... sempliċement ma jsibux jew jifhmu. Mhux kollha ħlief ħafna u huwa tassew diżappuntanti. U nirrispettaw fuq bosta livelli .... imma ma jarawhx hekk. Ħaġa daqshekk delikata u nistaqsi kif il-Hawaii se jindirizza din il-kwistjoni fuq it-turiżmu li nħoss li hija l-qalba ta 'din il-problema. 8 miljun persuna jiġu Oahu fis-sena u jikbru ... l-edukazzjoni hija kruċjali biex toħroġ ma 'dawn in-nies fl-opinjoni tiegħi.
