28.5.7.3 Determining Sensitivity of Tourism Receptor 34.


Impact significance is determined through an understanding of the sensitivity of a receptor and the anticipated magnitude of effect. In establishing tourism sensitivity, the standing/status of the receptor or resource is the defining factor. This is considered against:


 The tourism business’ relative attraction to customers from outside the study area and the proposed project’s potential to influence broader perceptions of the area. Where a majority of trade is non-local this is more likely to be the case; and


 The relative importance of tourism as a business sector. Where tourism is more important relative to other sectors, impacts may have the potential to generate broader effects. Similarly, where it is of relatively low significance, impacts on tourism and related sectors are unlikely to generate a high level of adverse impact across the broader economy.


35. The main factors relevant to this consideration are outlined in Table 28.4.
