International Travel Survey, 2011: U.S. Resident Trips To Canada

The International Travel Survey (ITS) is an ongoing survey conducted by Statistics Canada since the 1920s to meet the requirements of the Canadian System of National Accounts (Balance of Payments (BOP)). Through the years, the need for detailed characteristics of travellers for market research and industry planning was gradually incorporated in the survey. Records relate to the activities of Americans travelling to Canada; ports of entry and exit by date; method of transportation to enter and exit; destination; length of stay; number in party; age groups; purpose of trip; type of accommodation used; expenditure by categories.
