  12. Now that the funstuff is over…LET’S TALK NUMBERS

  13. 2011 2nd and 3rdQuarter Taxable Sales • $255 Million in 2011 • Up 6.6% over 2010 • Up 10.6% over 2009 2011 TOURISM STATISTICS • Alaska Visitation Flat, Cruise Passengers Down • Independent Travel Up 20,000 Visitors

  14. FY13 KPB Marketing Investment Request $300,000 • KPTMC’s core tourism marketing program relies on the borough’s matching funds to assist us in our mission to bring visitors to The Kenai. Tourism is a revenue generating mechanism for the Kenai Peninsula Borough and has a significant impact on our regional economy. • This investment will return over $1.5 Million Dollars to the Borough in sales tax revenue.

  15. The Kenai has no tax cap on accommodations or recreational activities. A visitor pays 3% borough sales tax on every dollar they spend. Seasonal non-prepared food tax. Current Targeted Tourism Sales Tax

  16. A QUICK RECAP… Our marketing is working, 2nd and 3rd quarter sales have increased 10.6% in the past two years while other areas of the state continue to decline. KPTMC generates a higher percentage of our budget than any other marketing organization in Alaska, and we are already doing more with less. The Borough has targeted tourism sales taxes that much more than cover KPTMC’s marketing investment request. We will continue to work with the Borough to pass a sustainable funding solution for tourism Marketing.
