Economic Impact Assessment West Australian Opera events hosted in the Perth metro area and regional WA stimulate visitation and spending that would not have otherwise occurred in these locations, with benefits for local businesses and the wider economy. This is especially true for businesses in the vicinity of the events. This section of the report of the report includes calculations that estimate the direct impact of West Australian Opera’s 2020 live season across Perth and the rest of the state, and the flow on impacts of this spend.
Attendee Expenditure Public survey data has been used to calculate the average spend for visitors of each program. Attendance data supplied by organisers has been used to calculate attendance per visitor type.
