National Travel Survey, 2023: Trip file [Canada]

<p>The National Travel Survey (NTS) was developed to fully replace the Travel Survey of Residents of Canada (TSRC record number 3810) and replace the Canadian resident component of the International Travel Survey (ITS record number 3152). The National Travel Survey collects information about the domestic and international travel of Canadian residents.</p>

<p>The National Travel Survey provides statistics on the activities of Canadian residents related to domestic and international tourism. It was developed to measure the volume, the characteristics and the economic impact of tourism. For the Canadian System of National Accounts, NTS measures the size of domestic travel in Canada from the demand side.</p>

<p>The trip file contains trip characteristics, for example, the origin, the main destination, the reason of the trip, the spending, etc. For each respondent on the person file, there is a trip record for every trip reported. If a respondent did not report any trips, there would be no trip records for that respondent on the trip file.</p>
