<strong>KI</strong> Traveller’s <strong>Levy</strong><br />
<strong>Impact</strong> <strong>Assessment</strong><br />
In any case, a range of barriers would need to be overcome in order to introduce a levy, such<br />
as opposition from local businesses and resistance from transport operators. The greatest<br />
impediments are likely to be those not analysed in this report – the legal and jurisdictional<br />
issues regarding a levy’s introduction.<br />
Net impacts<br />
Ultimately, the net impacts of a Traveller’s <strong>Levy</strong> on <strong>Kangaroo</strong> <strong>Island</strong> depend on how the levy<br />
revenue is expended. Though the revenue generated is at least broadly equivalent with the<br />
foregone tourism income, and may in fact outweigh it, the benefits of a levy are not in the<br />
revenue itself but rather in the value of the additional services this generates. Provided the<br />
additional funds are allocated efficiently, improving amenity for residents and enhancing the<br />
tourism experience for visitors, a Traveller’s <strong>Levy</strong> is likely to generate net benefits for the <strong>KI</strong><br />
community.<br />
