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.

Number of person-trips by duration of trip, main trip purpose and country or region of trip destination (x 1,000).

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 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 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 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 Travel Survey of Residents of Canada is sponsored by Statistics Canada, the Canadian Tourism Commission, and the provincial governments. 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 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 and 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 the residents of Canada with destinations in Canada, same-day and overnight visits in Canada, main purpose of the trip/key activities 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, person-visits, household-visits, spending in total and by expense category for each location visited in Canada, person- and household-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, government, private employer), demographics of adults that took or did not take trips, and travel party composition. The main users of the TSRC data are Statistics Canada, the Canadian Tourism Commission, the provinces, and tourism boards. Other users include the media, businesses, consultants and researchers.

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 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.
