Travel Survey of Residents of Canada, 2017: Person File, March

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来源。本调查旨在量化国内旅游的体量、特征与经济影响。在国民经济核算体系中，TSRC从需求端测算加拿大国内旅游的整体规模。自2005年初起，加拿大居民旅行调查正式用于衡量加拿大国内旅游情况，并取代了原有的加拿大旅行调查（Canadian Travel Survey, CTS）。本次改版引入了多项定义调整与全新问卷，其产出的国内旅游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推荐的国际规范。2011年，TSRC完成了新一轮改版重构。本调查由加拿大统计局（Statistics Canada）、加拿大旅游委员会（Canadian Tourism Commission）及各省政府联合发起，其核心目标仍为从需求端测算加拿大国内旅游规模。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人次与支出相关信息；统计旅行参与率，并构建旅行者与非旅行者的社会人口学特征画像。其估算结果支持在全国、各省及旅游区域层面开展季度分析（精度层级存在差异），可覆盖的分析维度涵盖：加拿大居民在加拿大境内开展的当日往返与过夜旅行总人次、加拿大境内的当日往返与过夜到访量、旅行核心目的与关键活动、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支出、旅行使用的主要与其他交通方式、个人到访量与家庭到访量、加拿大境内各到访地的总支出及分类支出、在各到访地停留的总人夜数与家庭夜数（按住宿类型分类）、旅行套餐使用情况与关联支出及支付来源（家庭、政府、私营雇主）、参与与未参与旅行的成年人口统计学特征，以及旅行团成员构成。TSRC数据的核心使用者包括加拿大统计局、加拿大旅游委员会、各省政府与旅游管理机构，其他使用者涵盖媒体、企业、咨询机构与研究人员。
