Travel Survey of Residents of Canada, 2006: Person File, August

The Travel Survey of Residents of Canada 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 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.
