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 trip file contains trip characteristics, for example, the origin, the main destination, the reason of the trip, the spending, etc. For each respondent on the person file, there is a trip record for every trip reported. If a respondent did not report any trips, there would be no trip records for that respondent on the trip file.

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 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 mesure the volume, the characteristics and the economic impact of domestic travel. Since the beginning of 2005 this survey replaces the Canada Travel Survey (CTS). It measures the size of domestic travel in Canada from the demand side. The objectives of the survey are to provide information about the volume of trips and expendit ures for 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.

The annual domestic visitor profiles by region are based on analysis of the National Travel Survey conducted by Statistics Canada, which includes tourism information for travel in Alberta by domestic visitors from Alberta and other parts of Canada, and also includes same-day and overnight trips for Albertans and residents from other parts of Canada. Detailed estimates for international visitors are not available at the provincial and tourism regional level due to small sample sizes and limited data from the Visitor Travel Survey. Detailed characteristics are only available for Canadian visitors.

The Visitor Travel Survey (VTS) is conducted by Statistics Canada to meet the requirements of the Balance of Payments of the Canadian System of National Accounts (BOP). Prior to 2018, information about visitors to Canada was collected through the International Travel Survey (ITS). In 2018, the ITS was divided into the National Travel Survey (NTS), which covers international and domestic travel by Canadian residents, and the VTS, which covers travel to Canada by international (United States and overseas) residents. Today, the VTS provides a full range of statistics on the volume of international travellers and detailed characteristics of their trips such as expenditures, activities, places visited and length of stay.

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 Travel Survey of Residents of Canada (TSRC) has been conducted to measure domestic travel in Canada. It 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. In 2011, TSRC underwent a redesign. Please refer to the document entitled Differences Between the 2011 Redesigned TSRC and the 2010 TSRC available in the "Documentation" section of this survey, for an explanation of the differences between TSRC from 2006-2010 and TSRC in 2011.

The International Travel Survey (ITS) is an ongoing survey conducted by Statistics Canada since the 1920s to meet the requirements of the Canadian System of National Accounts (Balance of Payments (BOP). Through the years, the need for detailed characteristics of travellers for market research and industry planning was gradually incorporated in the survey. Today, the ITS provides a full range of statistics on the volume of international travellers and detailed characteristics of their trips such as expenditures, activities, places visited and length of stay. The ITS covers both Canadian residents returning from trips outside Canada and international visitors to Canada. In addition to fulfilling BOP requirements, the ITS is also being used by the Tourism Satellite Account (TSA), Customs Canada, the Canadian tourism Commission (CTC), provincial tourism agencies, the United States Department of Commerce and a number of private sector industries. The ITS is also used for reporting to international organizations such as the World Tourism Organization (WTO), the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development and the Pacific-Asia Tourism Association.
