Travel Survey of Residents of Canada, 2016: Person File, November

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. 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.

加拿大居民旅行调查（Travel Survey of Residents of Canada, TSRC）是衡量加拿大旅游业规模与发展现状的核心数据源。该调查旨在量化加拿大国内旅行的规模、特征与经济影响。在国民经济核算体系框架下，TSRC从需求端衡量加拿大国内旅行的整体规模。自2005年起，TSRC正式开展加拿大国内旅行调查工作，取代了原有的加拿大旅行调查（Canadian Travel Survey, CTS）。本次调查在统计定义上做出多项调整，并采用全新问卷，其产出的国内旅行估算结果更符合世界旅游组织（World Tourism Organization, WTO）与联合国统计委员会制定的国际规范。2011年，TSRC完成体系重构。TSRC由加拿大统计局、加拿大旅游委员会及各省政府联合资助，其核心功能仍是从需求端衡量加拿大国内旅行的规模。本次调查的目标包括：按旅行出发地、目的地、时长、住宿类型、旅行目的、交通方式等维度，提供加拿大居民的旅行频次与支出相关数据；提供旅行参与率相关信息，并梳理旅行者与非旅行者的社会人口统计学特征。基于调查估算结果，可在全国、各省及旅游区域层面（精度存在差异）开展季度分析，分析维度涵盖：加拿大居民赴境内的当日往返与过夜旅行总规模、加拿大境内的当日往返与过夜到访量；旅行主要目的/行程核心活动；加拿大居民在境内开展的当日往返与过夜旅行的总支出及分类别支出；行程中使用的交通方式（主要/其他）；个人到访量、家庭到访量；加拿大境内各到访地的总支出及分类别支出；在各到访地的总人夜数与家庭夜数，以及按住宿类型划分的相关数据；旅行套餐使用情况、相关支出及支付来源（家庭、政府、私营雇主）；参与/未参与旅行的成年人社会人口统计学特征，以及旅行团体构成。TSRC数据的主要使用者包括加拿大统计局、加拿大旅游委员会、各省政府及旅游管理机构；其他使用者涵盖媒体、企业、咨询机构与研究人员。
