Interesting but I really don't think this provides such a large opportunity. It is an excellent added attraction particularly for the boating and charter operators. The percentages quotes in terms of growth are in fact average annualized growth per year and not the total percentage change. I just thought that point should be made as it would obviously not make any sense: 1227 to 106,000 is not a 56.1% increase but in fact the 56.1% increase is a yearly year-on-year increase. At least that's the only way this would make sense.

I believe there are other larger opportunities particularly in heritage-based community tourism, health/wellness tourism and higher learning education services, which is an excellent form of injecting long-term investment, spread right across the economy.
