Reasons for Change in Appropriation

This appropriation decreased by $89,000 to $4.659 million for 2014/15. $700,000 was transferred to the Policy Advice - Tourism appropriation to accurately reflect the use of resources in that appropriation. This transfer was partially offset by the following:

  • $556,000 transfer from the Tourism Growth Partnership appropriation to this appropriation to assist with the China Market Information Programme (CMIP). The CMIP offers dollar-for-dollar support to individual businesses undertaking research on the China visitor market to inform product development, and
  • $55,000 adjustment due to the recognition of showing revenue and expenditure separately for contributions from other organisations for the International Visitor Survey and Convention Research programmes.
