Travel Survey of Residents of Canada, 2015: 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. Please refer to the document entitled Differences Between the 2011 Redesigned TSRC and the 2010 TSRC available in the \"Documentation\" section of this survey, for an explanation of the differences between TSRC from 2006-2010 and TSRC in 2011. 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运营现状的核心数据来源之一。该调查旨在量化国内旅行的规模、特征及其经济影响。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规模。自2005年初起，加拿大居民旅行调查（TSRC）正式开展以衡量加拿大国内旅行情况，其取代了原加拿大旅行调查（Canadian Travel Survey, CTS）。该调查引入了多项定义调整与全新问卷，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推荐的国际指南标准。2011年，TSRC进行了改版。如需了解2006-2010年版TSRC与2011年改版TSRC的差异说明，请查阅本次调查「文档」板块中题为《2011年改版TSRC与2010年版TSRC的差异》的文件。加拿大居民旅行调查由加拿大统计局（Statistics Canada）、加拿大旅游委员会（Canadian Tourism Commission）以及各省级政府联合资助，其同样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、出行时长、住宿类型、出行目的、出行方式等维度，提供加拿大居民的旅行规模与消费支出信息；提供居民旅行参与率相关数据；以及梳理旅行者与非旅行者的社会人口统计特征。该调查的估算结果支持在全国、省级及旅游区域层面（精度各有不同）开展季度分析，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规模、加拿大境内的当日及过夜到访人次、旅行主要目的/行程核心活动、加拿大居民在加拿大境内开展的当日往返与过夜旅行的总消费及分类别消费、行程中使用的交通方式（主要/其他）、单人到访量与家庭到访量、加拿大境内各到访地的总消费及分类别消费、加拿大境内各到访地的单人留宿夜数与家庭留宿夜数（含总规模及按住宿类型划分的数据）、旅行套餐使用情况及相关消费与支付来源（家庭、政府、私营雇主）、参与及未参与旅行的成年人的人口统计特征，以及旅行团组成情况。TSRC数据的主要使用者包括加拿大统计局（Statistics Canada）、加拿大旅游委员会、各省级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。
