3 Background & Research Objectives Background With significant rainfall and flooding across regions of Queensland it is recognised that this has had a wide impact on the Queensland tourism industry. The tourism industry is crucial to the Queensland economy accounting for approximately 122,000 direct jobs and another 100,000 indirectly association jobs ( 5.7% of the state s workforce and 4.7% of Queensland s GSP). The majority of tourism operators (85%). The majority of tourism operators are small to medium sized businesses with employees of twenty or less and around half of operators are owner operators with no employees. In order to understand the scale of impact that the floods have had on operators and the perceptions of both the direct and indirect outcomes of floods on their business, Tourism Queensland (TQ) has commissioned Enhance Research to conduct a survey with operators across Queensland. The survey focussed specifically on the flood events that occurred in late December 2010 and January 2011 across various regions in the state. To assist in the facilitation of this research, TQ, the Queensland Government and QTIC have been preparing the industry for distribution of the survey through various forms of communication such as Tourism on Q publications and through Regional Tourism Organisation networks. This research took place between Tuesday 24 th and Sunday 30 th January 2011, prior to cyclone Yasi. Therefore, the results of this survey focus on the floods and not the weather events proceeding this. Research Objectives The research objectives are to measure the economic impact of the recent flood events on tourism operators and the Queensland tourism industry. Specifically the survey is designed to: Evaluate changes made to business as a direct result of the flood events; Evaluate current and forward planning required as a result of the influence of the floods on businesses; Evaluate operational considerations, including revenue, staffing and business access. 3
4 Methodology & Fieldwork An online survey was conducted with tourism operators from lists provided by TQ. The survey was conducted through the use of unique URL link to allow for identification of individual operators for follow up reminders. During the course of the fieldwork, reminder s were sent to respondents that had not completed surveys. Following this, CATI telephone reminder calls were made to respondents in agreed regions to encourage participation. Calls were made at Enhance Research in-house CATI facilities. 14 Tourist organisation regions were surveyed: Bundaberg and North Burnett region Brisbane region (includes Moreton Bay & Islands, Scenic Rim, Ipswich & country valleys) Capricorn region Fraser Coast Region Gladstone Area region Gold Coast & hinterland region Outback Queensland region Southern Downs and granite belt region Toowoomba, Golden West & South Burnett region Mackay region Sunshine Coast region (including Gympie & Cooloola) Tropical North Queensland region (including the Gulf) Townsville region Whitsundays region Fieldwork was conducted from Tuesday 25 th of January to Sunday 30 th January. reminders were sent out on Thursday evening. Follow-up reminder calls in regions with lower response rates were conducted from Friday afternoon, Saturday and Sunday. From the 1,248 phone calls made, 393 businesses were successfully contacted and reminded of the survey. Breakdown of completed reminder calls within each region: Bundaberg : 38, Capricorn: 98, Gladstone: 26, Mackay: 81, Outback QLD: 53, Townsville: 70, Whitsundays: 27 A total of s were sent with a final sample of 889 achieved. This survey therefore received a final response rate of 19% 4
5 Report Interpretation (1) The base note included below each table and chart throughout the report is the sample size, which indicates the number of respondents who have answered the relevant question. Where questions do not sum to 100%, this is due either to rounding or multiple responses. Significance testing has been conducted throughout this report for the following splits: Region Business Size Sector Business Closures In some instances, this sample has been further broken down resulting in small sample sizes. Here, care should be taken interpreting the results. Where an increase is significantly different it is indicated in the following way: indicates the data is significantly higher than data marked When comparing this sample size to the total number of Queensland tourism operators, we expect a Margin of Error of 3. The Margin of Error is a measurement of the accuracy of the results contained in this report. In other words, there is a 95% chance that the responses of the total number of tourism operators would fall somewhere between 3% more or 3% less than the responses of the sample. 5
6 Report Interpretation (2) 14 regions were surveyed and due to sample sizes some of these were consolidated (see figure 2). Throughout the report, the results have been analysed by these consolidated regions. Figure 1. Percentage of respondents by the 14 regions Figure 2.

7 Report Interpretation (3) Accommodation is by far the highest represented sector followed by tours/attractions. However, the sectors are not necessarily mutually exclusive as a number of operators labelled themselves across one or more sectors. Figure 3. Business Sector Accommodation Tour/Attractions (including retail, restaurants & wineries) 34% 62% The report results are analysed by non-employing (owner/operators), small, medium and large businesses, the proportions for each of these are shown below. As expected the largest number of respondents are small businesses, followed by owner/operators and then medium sized businesses. Figure 4.

9 Key Findings Overall, the majority of businesses surveyed were impacted, either directly or indirectly, to some extent during the flood period. Just over a quarter of businesses were closed during this period, over half of these for a few days to a week and a smaller number for longer. Reported closures come from a variety of regions, including Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, Southern Downs and Toowoomba and Central Queensland. The longest period of closure was recorded in the Southern Downs and Toowoomba, with 38% of operators closed for more than two weeks. The main reasons for closure were loss of access to business premises, transport logistics, accessing suppliers and employee access. Loss of access to premises was particularly an issue in Southern Downs and Toowoomba, Fraser Coast and Central Queensland. Transport/logistic issues, suppliers and staff tended to be more broadly felt across regions. For both December and January reported actual occupancy rates were lower than expected with January recording the highest proportion of flood related cancellations (28%). Businesses also expect a continued impact on cancellations during February, March and April (albeit at lower levels). The majority of businesses see public perceptions of the floods as playing a significant role in cancellations. Around half of businesses reduced their staff during December and January while others maintained their levels, hardly anyone employed more staff during this period. Staffing levels were expected to stay below average in February. Though it was anticipated that the situation would improve over the next two to three months, some operators remained cautious with 36% predicting lower than normal levels in April. Most businesses recorded a negative impact on their revenue in December and January. In January, operators reported the largest decrease of 53% on average for the month. Operators are also expecting some revenue decreases over February, March and April though with improvements expected over this time. Overall, most businesses do not see significant impediments to recovery. However, equity and local infrastructure issues are seen as the most relevant and this is also dependent on regions. For example infrastructure concerns are particularly high in Southern Downs and Toowoomba and then in Central Queensland and the Brisbane region. 9
10 Key Findings by Region Central Queensland Over one in ten (12%) of business closures were reported in Central Queensland during this period. The key issues related to the floods was loss of access to premises (63%), transport/logistic issues (36%), access to suppliers (35%) and ability of staff to attend work (35%). In December, one third (33%) of cancellations was attributed to the floods and this rose to 44% in January. Operators expect this to dramatically decrease in February with 18% of attributable cancellations, 10% in March and 11% in April. 59% of businesses reduced staff hours or shifts and only 25% made no changes to staff levels during December. This is similar to Southern Downs and Toowoomba, where again only 25% of operators made no changes during this time. In January more businesses (61%) reduced their staff hours/shifts and 17% said that they also laid off staff. Over half (55%) of businesses anticipate lower than normal staff levels in February, 45% in March and 30% in April. A very high number of businesses reported lower than normal revenue in December and January (83% and 89% respectively). For December the average decrease in revenue was 42% and in January this rose to 58%. Three quarters of operators expect lower revenues in February, this number falls to 64% in March and 47% of operators in April. Brisbane Brisbane had the highest reported closures during this period (22%) with 56% of businesses closed for a few days or up to a week and 12% over a month. Brisbane businesses also reported some of the highest adverse direct affects of the floods was the loss of access (43%) and the internet (29%) and the damage to premises (20%), employee inability to come to work (38%) and transport/logistic issues (36%). In December flood related cancellations was 16% on average, this rose to 36% in January. Predictions for the next three months see cancellations at 19% in February, 13% in March and 11% in April. During December, staffing levels were affected with 42% of businesses reducing staff hours/shifts and 18% not hiring the usual number of staff for this time of year, 39% of businesses made no change to their staff levels. In January businesses in Brisbane reported a worsening situation with 56% reducing their staff hours and 20% not hiring the usual numbers for the month. Over the next three months businesses are mixed in their expectations of staffing levels with 45% keeping levels about the same and 54% lower than normal in February and by April 34% expect levels to be lower and 65% remaining the same. 10
11 Key Findings by Region While in December 57% reported their actual revenue lower than normally expected, this figure rose to 82% for January. This month also saw the highest average percentage revenue decrease at 49%. While businesses expected their revenue to remain lower during February and March this falls to 42% of businesses in April. Fraser Coast The Fraser Coast region reported a less direct impact from the floods with 7% of closures from this region. Though, based on a small number of businesses (16), 6 were closed for 1 to 2 weeks and 5 for longer. Of businesses in the Fraser Coast who were directly affected, loss of access of premises is the highest (68%) while transport/logistics (37%) and accessing suppliers (33%) was also an issue, for 21% there were also issues with employee accessibility. In December flood related cancellations was attributed to 27% of all cancellations with this figure rising to 41% in January. Though, predicted cancellations are expected over the next three months, this fell significantly, with 17% for February, 11% for March and 11% for April. In the month of December, just under half (49%) of businesses reported a reduction in their staffing levels. This rose to 62% in January with 21% of businesses also saying that they had to lay off staff during this month. Over the next three months businesses in the Fraser Coast region expect their staffing levels to remain lower than normal and though month by month the situation improves, still 49% are anticipating lower numbers in April this year. A high proportion of Fraser Coast businesses (73%) reported lower than normal revenue for December with an average decrease of 39%. In January nearly all businesses (95%) experienced reduced revenue, on average a 52% fall. This situation is expected to gradually improve over February to April though businesses still predicting losses over this period. Gold Coast and the Hinterlands Most businesses on the Gold Coast and the Hinterlands were not directly affected by the floods with 7% of businesses closed from this region. Of these the majority were less than 3 days or up to a week. Though some businesses did lose access (20%), had transport/logistic issues (20%) and issues accessing suppliers (23%) a relatively high proportion (16%) were impacted through cancellations or loss of customers. 11

28 Impact of Flood Perceptions on Businesses verbatim comments Whilst the actual floods and road closures had little impact, the dramatisation of weather and flood reports by the media resulted in huge damage to business and the tourism industry in SE QLD Loss of access (Bruce Hwy) and negative publicity had a severe effect on our business Media reporting 80% of QLD is a disaster zone has caused cancellations to Nth QLD, even though flooding was not an issue in this region. Visitors are looking at alternative (flood free) destinations The coverage of the damage caused by the floods was very newsworthy, however it appeared to be a blanket approach and all regions in South-east Queensland were portrayed as being under water which was not the case. The government needs to be stepping in and start positively promoting the various tourism locations to ensure that we are able to bounce back The perception that Tropical North Queensland is flood affected is not only present in Australia, but internationally as well The biggest problem has been one of perception that all of QLD was under flood. On the Sunshine Coast the area and our business was not affected at all Perception of people is that our roads are cut, that attractions on the Mountain are closed, that we are not open for business despite advertising Perception from Overseas reports is people are in danger coming to QLD so overseas groups are cancelling Inaccurate or blanket media statements and assumptions was damaging and unnecessary The Media spread the 'misinformation' about Queensland being 75% under water like a virus. No attempt was made by the media to identify the 'business as usual' areas for tourism Q23. Do you have any further comments on the recent floods and the impact it has had on the business/industry?
