The National Travel Survey, sponsored by Statistics Canada, aims to measure the characteristics and the economic impact of the tourism activities of Canadian residents. The objectives of the survey are to provide information about the number of trips and expenditures by Canadian residents by trip origin, destination, duration, type of accommodation used, trip reason, mode of travel, etc.; to provide information on travel incidence and to provide the socio-demographic profile of travellers and non-travellers. From a macroeconomic point of view, the NTS measures the domestic and international tourism demand by Canadian residents. The National Travel Survey was developed to fully replace the Travel Survey of Residents of Canada (record number 3810) and replace the Canadian resident component of the International Travel Survey (record number 3152). The National Travel Survey collects information about the domestic and international travel of Canadian residents.

The National Travel Survey (NTS) was developed to fully replace the Travel Survey of Residents of Canada (TSRC record number 3810) and replace the Canadian resident component of the International Travel Survey (ITS record number 3152). The National Travel Survey collects information about the domestic and international travel of Canadian residents. The National Travel Survey provides statistics on the activities of Canadian residents related to domestic and international tourism. It was developed to measure the volume, the characteristics and the economic impact of tourism. For the Canadian System of National Accounts, NTS measures the size of domestic travel in Canada from the demand side.

The NTS was developed to fully replace the Travel Survey of Residents of Canada (TSRC record number 3810) and replace the Canadian resident component of the International Travel Survey (ITS record number 3152). The NTS collects information about the domestic and international travel of Canadian residents. The person file provides information on travellers and non-travellers, a traveller being a person aged 18 and over who took at least one trip ending in the reference month and a non-traveller being someone who did not take a trip ending in the reference month. Each respondent to the NTS has one record on the person file. The person microdata file includes basic socio-demographic information on both travellers and non-travellers. It can be used to produce simple socio-demographic profiles and to calculate travel incidences. The person microdata file does not provide information on the volume of trips or person-trips taken but rather on the volume of travellers and non-travellers. If a person travelled more than once during the reference period, that person will be counted as a traveller only once.

The Travel Survey of Residents of Canada (TSRC) is a major source of data used to measure the size and status of Canada's tourism industry. It was developed to quantify the volume, the characteristics and the economic impact of domestic travel. For the system of national accounts, TSRC measures the size of domestic travel in Canada from the demand side. Since the beginning of 2005, the TRSC replaces the Canadian Travel Survey (CTS). Featuring several definitional changes and a new questionnaire, this survey provides estimates of domestic travel that are more in line with the international guidelines recommended by the World Tourism Organization (WTO) and the United Nations Statistical Commission. Please see Appendix D for differences between the CTS and the TSRC. In 2011, the TRSC underwent a redesign. Please see Appendix C for the differences between the 2006-2010 TSRC and the redesign 2011 TSRC. The TSRC is sponsored by Statistics Canada, the Canadian Tourism Commission, the provincial governments, two federal organizations and a consortium of Canadian cities. The objectives of the survey are: to provide information about the volume of trips, visits and expenditures for Canadian residents by trip origin, destination, duration, type of accommodation used, trip reason, mode of travel, etc.; to provide information on travel incidence; to provide the socio-demographic profile of travellers and non-travellers. Estimates allow quarterly analysis at the national, provincial and tourism region level (with varying degrees of precision) on: total volume of same-day and overnight trips taken by Canadians in Canada or with an international destination where at least one night of the trip was spent in Canada. same-day and overnight visits in Canada main purpose of the trip/key activities done while on trip spending on same-day and overnight trips taken in Canada by Canadian residents in total and by category of expenditure, modes of transportation (main/other) used on the trip visits and spending in total and by expense category for each location visited in Canada (a location is defined as either the main destination, or a place where 1 or more nights was spent) nights spent in each location visited in Canada, in total and by type of accommodation used use of travel packages and associated spending and source of payment (household, public and private employer) demographics of adults that took or did not take any trips travel party composition There are three files for this survey - Trip File, Visit File, and Person File. The difference between the Preliminary version (released January 2013) and the Final version (released March 2013) is the geography variables: the Tourism Region variable was removed from the Final version.
