This spreadsheet replicates selected data tables from the ACT & Queanbeyan Household Travel Survey dashboard. Please refer to the attached spreadsheet on this page.

About the Travel Demographics theme The data shown replicates the dashboard 'Method of travel' theme, with additional filters applied for demographic attributes. This includes people's gender, age, licence holding status and household income level.

Notes: - The small sample size (approximately 1 per cent) of people who either did not report their gender, or who did not identify as male or female, prevented their analysis as a distinct cohort group. Responses from these participants have been randomly allocated to the male and female groups.

• Household income quartiles are derived by a summation of individual income ranges. As no adjustment has been made for household size, single person households are over-represented in the lowest income quartile. The quartile ranges have been calculated separately for each survey year.

• An employment status of 'Not in workforce' is only applied to children. Retired people will be classed as 'Not employed'.

Note that the tables provided represent a small subset of data available. Only the number and proportion of trips are shown; use of the dashboard or raw survey datasets allow more complex descriptions of travel to be developed.

Source data The data shown is not a Census of travel, but a large survey of several thousand households from across the ACT and Queanbeyan. As with any survey there will be some variability in the accuracy of the results, and how well they reflect the movement of the entire population. For instance, if the survey were to be completed on another day, or with a different subset of households, the results would be slightly different. Interpretations of the data should keep this variability in mind: these are estimates of the broad shape of travel only. Even for the same person, travel behaviour will vary according to many factors: day of week, month of year, season, weather, school holidays, illness, family responsibilities, work from home opportunities, etc. Again, by summarising the travel of many different people, the data provides a view of average weekday patterns.

In interpreting the data, it is worth noting the following points: - A zero cell does not necessarily mean the travel is never made, but rather that the survey participants did not make this travel on their particular survey day. - Values are rounded, and may not sum to the totals shown. Trip time periods are assigned using the mid point of travel: - AM peak (8am to 9am), PM peak (5pm to 6pm), Interpeak (9am to 5pm), Off-peak (after 6pm)

The survey is described on the Transport Canberra and City Services' website: [Household Travel Survey homepage]

Cell annotations and notes Some cells have annotations added to them, as follows: * : Statistically significant difference across survey years (at the 95% confidence level). Confidence intervals indicate where the true measure would typically fall if the survey were repeated multiple times (i.e., 95 times out of 100), recognising that each survey iteration may produce slightly different outcomes. ~ : Unreliable estimate (small sample or wide confidence interval)

United States US: International Tourism: Number of Arrivals data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s United States – Table US.World Bank.WDI: Tourism Statistics. International inbound tourists (overnight visitors) are the number of tourists who travel to a country other than that in which they have their usual residence, but outside their usual environment, for a period not exceeding 12 months and whose main purpose in visiting is other than an activity remunerated from within the country visited. When data on number of tourists are not available, the number of visitors, which includes tourists, same-day visitors, cruise passengers, and crew members, is shown instead. Sources and collection methods for arrivals differ across countries. In some cases data are from border statistics (police, immigration, and the like) and supplemented by border surveys. In other cases data are from tourism accommodation establishments. For some countries number of arrivals is limited to arrivals by air and for others to arrivals staying in hotels. Some countries include arrivals of nationals residing abroad while others do not. Caution should thus be used in comparing arrivals across countries. The data on inbound tourists refer to the number of arrivals, not to the number of people traveling.

Introduction

Space Tourism Statistics:​ Space tourism, once a concept confined to science fiction, is rapidly transitioning into a tangible experience for private individuals. As of April 2025, approximately 60 individuals have journeyed into space as tourists, primarily on brief suborbital flights that offer a few minutes of weightlessness.

The cost of these experiences varies significantly: suborbital trips range from USD 200,000 to USD 500,000, while orbital missions, such as those to the International Space Station, can exceed USD 55 million per seat. In 2025 alone, an estimated 250 to 400 individuals are expected to embark on spaceflights, highlighting the growing interest and accessibility in this sector.

Companies like Blue Origin have already conducted 11 human spaceflights, transporting 58 passengers, including notable figures such as Katy Perry and Gayle King. As technological advancements continue and costs potentially decrease, space tourism is poised to become an increasingly prevalent facet of human exploration beyond Earth

Let's explore these developments through the following Space Tourism Statistics.

Leisure Travel Market Outlook

The global leisure travel market size was valued at USD 2.5 trillion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 4.9 trillion by 2032, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1% from 2024 to 2032. The growth of this market is driven by factors such as increasing disposable incomes, rising awareness of the benefits of travel, and technological advancements in booking systems. The leisure travel industry is witnessing a significant transformation with more personalized experiences, sustainability-focused offerings, and a surge in interest from younger generations.

One of the primary growth factors for the leisure travel market is the increasing disposable income across various demographics. Emerging economies, particularly in Asia Pacific and Latin America, are witnessing a rise in middle-class populations with increased spending power. This shift in income levels allows more individuals and families to allocate funds for vacations and leisure activities. Additionally, the rise in dual-income households in developed regions has bolstered the propensity to spend on leisure travel, further driving market growth.

Technological advancements have also played a crucial role in propelling the leisure travel market forward. The advent of online travel agencies (OTAs), mobile applications, and advanced booking platforms has revolutionized how consumers plan and book their trips. These platforms offer a seamless and user-friendly experience, allowing travelers to compare prices, read reviews, and make informed decisions. Moreover, the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning in these platforms enables personalized recommendations, enhancing the overall travel experience for consumers.

Another significant factor contributing to the growth of the leisure travel market is the increasing awareness of the mental and physical health benefits associated with travel. Studies have shown that taking vacations can reduce stress, improve mental health, and boost overall well-being. As a result, more individuals are prioritizing travel as an essential component of their lifestyle. Additionally, the rise of social media has amplified the desire to explore new destinations, with travel influencers and bloggers inspiring a broader audience to embark on leisure trips.

As the leisure travel market continues to evolve, sustainable traveling has emerged as a pivotal trend shaping the industry's future. With increasing awareness about environmental conservation, travelers are now more inclined towards eco-friendly travel options that minimize their carbon footprint. This shift is encouraging travel companies to adopt sustainable practices, such as offering carbon-neutral flights, promoting eco-friendly accommodations, and supporting local communities. By integrating sustainability into their offerings, the travel industry not only caters to the growing demand for responsible tourism but also contributes to the preservation of natural and cultural heritage. This trend is particularly appealing to younger generations who prioritize sustainability in their travel choices, further driving the market's growth.

From a regional perspective, Asia Pacific is expected to witness the highest growth rate in the leisure travel market during the forecast period. The region's rapid economic development, coupled with a growing middle-class population, is driving the demand for leisure travel. Countries such as China, India, and Southeast Asian nations are becoming increasingly popular travel destinations due to their rich cultural heritage, diverse landscapes, and affordable travel options. North America and Europe also hold significant market shares, driven by high disposable incomes, well-established tourism infrastructures, and a strong inclination towards travel and exploration.

Type Analysis

In the leisure travel market, the type segment is divided into solo travel, group travel, family travel, and others. Solo travel has gained immense popularity in recent years, particularly among millennials and Gen Z. The desire for self-discovery, independence, and personalized experiences drives this trend. Solo travelers often seek unique, off-the-beaten-path destinations, challenging traditional tourism hotspots. The rise of digital nomadism, where individuals work remotely while exploring new places, has further fueled this segment's growth. Travel agencies and platforms are increasingly offering tailored packages

The IPUMS National Historical Geographic Information System (NHGIS) provides free online access to summary statistics and GIS files for U.S. censuses and other nationwide surveys from 1790 through the present. NHGIS boundary files are derived primarily from the U.S. Census Bureau's TIGER/Line files with numerous additions to represent historical (1790-1980) boundaries that do not appear in TIGER/Line files. For more recent boundary files (1990 or later), NHGIS typically makes only a few key changes to the TIGER/Line source: (1) we merge files that are available only for individual states or counties to produce new nationwide or statewide files, (2) we project the data into Esri's USA Contiguous Albers Equal Area Conic Projected Coordinate System, (3) add a GISJOIN attribute field, which supplies standard identifiers that correspond to the GISJOIN identifiers in NHGIS data tables, (4) we rename files to use the NHGIS naming style and geographic-level codes, (5) we add NHGIS-specific metadata, and (6) most substantially, we erase coastal water areas to produce polygons that terminate at the U.S. coasts and Great Lakes shores.NHGIS derived this shapefile from the U.S. Census Bureau's 2021 TIGER/Line Shapefiles.This layer contains data obtained from the following NHGIS tables at the county level:1.

Global Domestic Tourism Market Drivers

Travel Preferences and Behaviour: The expansion of the domestic tourism market is facilitated by shifts in consumer preferences for domestic travel, which are influenced by things like familiarity, convenience, and perceived safety. Due to accessibility and shorter travel times, many travellers choose domestic locations for weekend breaks, family vacations, and quick travels.

Government Support and Initiatives: Policies, plans, and efforts by the government to boost domestic travel are a major factor in the market's expansion. Infrastructure development, tax breaks, marketing efforts targeting domestic tourists, and subsidies are some of the ways to boost demand and entice people to visit their own nation's attractions.

Economic Factors: Trends in domestic tourism are influenced by exchange rates, levels of disposable income, and economic stability. Consumers may have more disposable income to spend on leisure travel, including domestic travel, during prosperous economic times. In addition to lowering the cost of domestic travel for locals, favourable exchange rates for local currency can draw tourists from abroad.

Travel limits and Border Controls: In reaction to international catastrophes like pandemics, natural disasters, or geopolitical tensions, travel limits, border closures, and quarantine procedures may be put in place. These measures may cause a shift in tourism towards local destinations. Travellers looking for alternatives or wanting to escape the unpredictability of foreign travel tend to favour domestic places.

Promotion of Local Culture and Heritage: Travellers visiting their own country have the chance to learn about and take in its natural beauty, culture, and heritage. Promotional efforts that showcase regional landmarks, festivals, events, and historical locations inspire domestic tourists to explore and rediscover their own nation.

Infrastructure Development: The allure and accessibility of domestic travel destinations are increased by investments in lodging, recreational opportunities, transit infrastructure, and lodging. Enhanced accessibility, modern facilities, and a wider range of products and services encourage more domestic travellers to visit and spend more money.

Seasonal and Event-Based Tourism: Throughout the year, domestic travellers are drawn to particular areas by festivals, special occasions, and seasonal events. Events like music festivals, athletic competitions, cultural festivals, and holiday celebrations give the travel industry a chance to make money by taking advantage of the increased demand from tourists.

Sustainability and Environmental Awareness: Travellers' increasing awareness of environmental issues affects their preferences for destinations and modes of transportation. Environmentally concerned travellers looking for responsible travel options are drawn to domestic tourism because it provides opportunity for sustainable travel experiences, such as eco-tourism, wildlife tourism, and nature-based activities.

Digitalization and Online Booking Platforms: Planning, scheduling, and personalising domestic travel experiences is made easier by the widespread use of digital technologies and online booking platforms. Convenience and accessibility for domestic travel are increased by the ease with which travellers may research places, compare costs, read reviews, and make bookings online.

Shifting Demographics and Lifestyles: Trends in domestic tourism are influenced by changing age tastes, demographic upheavals, and lifestyle changes. The need for domestic tourism products and services that are catered to the preferences of younger generations, particularly millennials, is being driven by their desire for distinctive and immersive travel experiences that are more accessible.
