يظل الانسان اسيرا لتجربتة الخاصة وما تدفعة اليها الاقدار من تجارب وخبرات ،البعض قد يمر من خلالها ويخرج منها دون ان يتعلم شىء وهم فى غبائهم يعمهون ، لذا نجد هؤلاء يكررون نفس الاخطاء مررا ، واخرين تكون تجاربهم هى حصاد خبراتهم الحقيقة ، ومعاناتهم هى الوقود الدائم الذى يتذودون منة الى ان يفارقوا الحساة ،،،،،،،
ومجموع كل هذا هو النسق المعرفى ، او ما يطلق علية القناعات الشخصية التى قد تتفاوت من شخص الى اخر ، فانا شخصيا من اشد المؤمنين بنظرية المؤامرة ، وارى ان من يرجون الى اتهام الاخرين بسذاجة ايمانة بها ، هم فى الحقيقة متامرين ، برون دائما القشة الصغيرة فى عيون الاخرين ولا يشعرون بالخشية المغروزة غة وجوههم ، وحتى يكون ما نتناولة فى المقال موضوعيا ، دعنى اسرد لكم تجربتين تخصنى شخصيا ، الاولى ترجع الى عام 2005 ، حين وجدت سيرتى الذاتية والمهنية قد وضعت فى مركز المعلومات واتخاذ القرار التابع لمجلس الوزراء المصرى فى اطار مشروع للدكتور احمد نظيف بحصر الكفاءات والخبرات المصرية ، تلقيت بعدها اتصالا من مكتب وزير السياحة حينها احمد المغربى ، حيث جلسنا سويا لاكثر من ثلاث ساعات استعرضت خلالها معة رؤيتى حول الاستراتيجية السياحية المصرية ،وفى اليوم التالى لزبارة الوزير اتصل بى هاتفيا السفير التركى فى القاهرة مؤكدا على وجود تذاكر السفر والاقامة بعد اختيارى ضمن فريق دولى من خبراء السياحة فى العالم فى الاعداد للخطة الاستراتيجية للسياحية التركية والتى تنطلق من 2007 الى عام 2013/ ثم الجزء الثانى منها الى عام 2023، وعلى الرغم من اننى لم اعمل او كانت لى علاقة من قريب او بعيد بتركيا ، او شاركت حتى فى فاعلياتها السياحية من قبل ، مما جعل مصدر ترشيحى للمشاركة امرا مبهما الى فترة ليست بالقليلة ، واكتشقت بعد ذلك الحقيقة وهى محاولة ابعادى من ان يكون لى مكان فى مصر بسبب حوار قد دار بين الدكتور ممدوح البلتاجى وجمال مبارك حولى حين كنت مستشارا لوزير السياحة فى اعقاب ازمة حادثة الاقصر فى عام 1997، زحطورتى تكمن فى ان لى عددا من الخطط التى فى ايجاد الترويج والتسويق السياحى لمصر فى اطار اكثر علمية واحترافية ، وهذا يعنى اننى امصل خطورة فى وجود تلك العصابة التى ترتزق على السياحة المصرية ومقدرات مصر ومستقبلها ومن هنا عرفت حقيقة مؤكدة عن ان التامر والتخطيط بصرف النظر عن المصلحة الوطنية ، هو الهدف الاسمى لمن هم فى منطقة صنع القرار وان تجريف الخبرات وابعادها، هو من الاهداف المركزية والاستراتيجية الثابتة بالعديد من الدول العربية ، وهذا ما يجعل الكثيرين من الدول الاخرى تصيبهم الدهشة من هزالة وتفاهة الكفاءات والخبرات العربية ، ولم يقتصر هذا على الافراد والاشخاص ، بل امتد الى المؤسسات المحلية منها ، او ذات الطابع الاقليمى ، زهذا ما يجعلنى استعرض تجربتى الثانية مع المنظمة العربية للسياحة ، وتجمع دول الاسيان لجنوب شرق اسيا ، والتى كازلت اتعاون معها فى اطار الاستشارات السياحية
فقد لايختلف اثنين ان الجامعة العربية بما لها من تاريخ حافل فى الاخفاقات ، ادت الى فقدان مصطلح العمل العربى المشترك ، اية مصداقية او قيمة ، والغريب ان ذلك امتد الى المنظما ت التابعة للجامعة العربية ، مثل المنظمة العربية للسياحة التى لا اجد سببا وجيها يفسر فشلها الذريع ، فى الوقت التى ربما تكون الارادة السياسية المفقودة بين العرب لا علاقة لها يالاهداف التى يجب ان تقوم علية هذة المنظمة ، التى من الممكن ان تقوم بالكثير ، وان تكون مثل مثيلاتها فى العالم ـالتى تخطو فى كل يوم خطوات واسعة فى تحقيق العديد من الاهداف والطموحات ،فالمنظمة العربية للسياحة لديها مقومات افضل بكثير من منظمة الاسيان لدول جنوب شرق اسيا ، التى تحرز فى كل يوم تقدما سياحيا فى جعل السياحة قاطرة التنمية لدول الاعضاء فى الاسيان ، ولعلنا حين نقرا الاجتماع الوزارى السياحى لدول الاسيان نعرف الفرق بينها وبين اجتماعات المجلس الوزارى العربى لمنظمة الغربية للسياحة
