Canadian Travel Survey, 2002: Person Level Data

The Canadian Travel Survey (CTS) is a major source of data used to measure the size and status of Canada's tourism industry. It was developed to measure the volume, characteristics and economic impact of domestic travel. It gathers data on more than 30 variables, including socio-economic profiles, trip characteristics, and expenditures. The CTS is conducted by Statistics Canada, as a supplement of the Labour Force Survey (LFS: Survey Number 3701), with the cooperation and support of the Canadian Tourism Commission (CTC) and ten provincial governments. The main users of the survey data are the CTC, the provinces, and tourism boards. Other users include the media, businesses, consultants and researchers. These files contain records which relate to the activities of Canadians travelling in Canada; origin and destination; volumes; nights away from home; length of stay; type of transportation; purpose of trip; accommodation used; expenditures by categories; and demographic characteristics. Included are the complete Canada microdata file on person-trips, household trips, person-nights, person and reallocated expenditures.
