1.2 <strong>KI</strong> TOURISM INDUSTRY PROFILE<br />
Data collected as part of the Tourism Optimisation Management Model (TOMM) survey<br />
suggest that 175,000 persons visited <strong>Kangaroo</strong> <strong>Island</strong> in the 2007-08 financial year.<br />
Combined with average length of stay data from TRA, this implies that around 586,000 visitor<br />
nights were spent on the <strong>Island</strong>. Table 1.2 provides details of these visitors by visitor type,<br />
indicating that around 90% stayed at least one night on the <strong>Island</strong>.<br />
More than a quarter of visitors to the <strong>Island</strong> in 2007-08 were international tourists – a<br />
relatively high proportion in light of the fact that at the state level, international visitors<br />
represented only 2% of total visitors. Visitors from elsewhere in South Australia (i.e.<br />
intrastate travellers) made up the largest share of both visitor numbers and visitor nights on<br />
the <strong>Island</strong>.<br />

Visitors to the <strong>Island</strong> predominantly travel in groups. In 2007-08, TOMM data indicates that<br />
some 42% of visitors travelled with a partner and 49% with friends or family – shares which<br />
have been relatively consistent over proceeding years.<br />
