Indien die elektrisiteit by die huis af is, hoekom nie eerder op die strand of by die kampterrein kuier nie?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die toerismesektor is een van di\u00e9 wat onder die Covid-pandemie die swaarste getrek het, en nou, met die land wat onder beurtkrag gebuk gaan, bring dit nog \u2019n slag vir die sektor mee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maar Marilyn Matroos, die sekretaris van die Saldanha- plaaslike toerismevereniging (Salta), s\u00ea beurtkrag het besoekers nie afgeskrik nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMense aanvaar die stand van sake en plaaslike ondernemings het \u2019n plan gemaak met die gebrek aan elektrisiteit. Gastehuise en strande in Saldanha was die afgelope vakansie vol,\u201d vertel sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Matroos s\u00ea die dorp was besig en talle besoekers het die geleentheid benut om ook ander dorpe in die gebied te besoek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy meen gas is die antwoord om die gebrek aan elektrisiteit die hoof te bied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIndien plaaslike gasverskaffers saam met ons werk om goedkoper gas aan plaaslike [ondernemings] te verskaf, werk ons weer saam met hulle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Piketberg was op sy beurt stil, maar Georgia Abrahams s\u00ea dit is nie buitengewoon nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Abrahams is die bemarkingsbestuurder van Bergrivier-toerisme en is in Piketberg gebaseer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns kry nie so baie aftrek soos die kusdorpe oor die Desember-vakansies nie. Besoekers is eerder hier om sake te doen, maar die getalle neem tog n\u00e1 die Covid-inperking toe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie meeste van die besoekers wat hier \u2019n draai kom maak, is familie en vriende wat by hul geliefdes kom kuier, maar wanneer dit in die Noordelike Halfrond winter raak, begin besoekersgetalle styg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cInternasionale besoekers kom dan hierheen vir ons lekker warm dae wanneer dit winter is,\u201d s\u00ea sy en verduidelik verder hoewel die plaaslike vulstasie en padstal \u2013 op die N7-pad \u2013 gereeld besig is, kom besoekers nie altyd in die dorp nie, \u201cwat hartseer is\u201d. Abrahams s\u00ea egter in die algemeen neem getalle n\u00e1 die inperkingsmaatre\u00ebls stadig maar seker toe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Lambertsbaai was dit \u2019n goeie feestyd, verduidelik Joos Engelbrecht, die voorsitter van die Lambertsbaai-toerismevereniging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns het \u2019n uitstekende seisoen gehad, met ho\u00eb besoekersgetalle. Benewens Suid-Afrikaanse en internasionale besoekers het ons ook vele dagbesoekers van die omliggende omgewing gehad,\u201d verduidelik hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Engelbrecht s\u00ea besoekers van oor die land heen verstaan die gevolge van beurtkrag op die sektor, hoewel dit vir kuiergaste steeds ongerieflik en lastig is. Dit is egter die internasionale besoekers wat nie die konsep van \u201ckraglose\u201d ure verstaan nie, maar beurtkrag is aan hulle verduidelik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Engelbrecht s\u00ea vele besprekings is reeds vir vanjaar gemaak met Desember-besoekers wat tydens Paasfees en die skoolvakansie weer di\u00e9 kusdorp wil besoek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns het moeite gedoen om te verseker die dorp is vir die feestyd mooi skoon, en dit was \u2019n positiewe punt wat byna al die besoekers uitgelig het,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Intussen blyk daar geen einde aan beurtkrag te wees nie. Eskom, die nasionale kragverskaffer, het in sy mees onlangse verklaring verduidelik die onklaarraking van kragopwekkingseenhede het op 17 035 MW gestaan terwyl 6 189 MW weens instandhoudingswerk verlore is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die kragverskaffer het Dinsdag (10 Januarie) aangekondig fase 6-beurtkrag sal snags tussen 16:00 en 05:00 ingestel word, terwyl fase 4-beurtkrag daagliks van 05:00 tot 16:00 toegepas word.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
