It is an important driver of visitation across the State, with recreational fishers contributing to the dispersal of tourism dollars deep into tourism regions.<\/p>\n<p>Once developed, the strategy seeks to consolidate South Australia as a key recreational fishing tourism destination and provide a framework and set of indicators that highlights the economic contribution of recreational fishing tourism to the State.<\/p>\n<p>According to the latest Survey of Recreational Fishing in South Australia (2021-22) there are about 360,000 recreational fishers in South Australia, and recreational fishing contributes $1 billion to the state\u2019s economy (about 1 per cent of the Gross State Product).<\/p>\n<p>The survey runs until July 27 and can be accessed through Recreational Fishing Tourism Strategy | YourSAy yoursay.sa.gov. au\/recreational-fishingtourism.
