Project: Economic Analysis of Adelaide Hills Tourism (2010)
Client: Regional Development Australia: Adelaide Hills Fleurieu and Kangaroo Island
Summary: This economic analysis of tourism in the Adelaide Hills was a contribution to the preparation of the Adelaide Hills Regional Strategic Tourism Plan. The report included:
- an analysis of the value of tourism to the Adelaide Hills regional economy;
- an understanding of the context for the tourism sector in the Adelaide Hills (i.e. tourism relative to other industry sectors);
- the significance of the relative contribution of tourism by origin (i.e. domestic day, domestic overnight, international); and
- the impact of market factors on tourism.
In addition, a supplementary report included:
- an analysis of the value of tourism growth scenarios to the Adelaide Hills regional economy; and
- the development of a model which converts TRA tourism expenditure data in a form usable in the RISE model, with the possibility to be applied to other regions of the state.
