SA: Tourists urged to support Kangaroo Island

South Australian Tourism Minister JANE LOMAX-SMITH says tourism will play a big part
in the recovery of the Kangaroo Island communities .. affected by last week's major bushfires.

With the fires now either out or under control .. people planning to visit the island
have been urged not to cancel their holidays.

Ms LOMAX-SMITH says the affected area represents less than a quarter of the island.

She says the best way that South Australians can show their support is to keep their
reservations for summer holidays.

Tourism officials say the island's major towns and key tourist attractions haven't
been affected by the fires.
