Visitor Travel Survey, 2018 [Canada]

The Visitor Travel Survey (VTS) is conducted by Statistics Canada to meet the requirements of the Balance of Payments of the Canadian System of National Accounts (BOP). Prior to 2018, information about visitors to Canada was collected through the International Travel Survey (ITS). In 2018, the ITS was divided into the National Travel Survey (NTS), which covers international and domestic travel by Canadian residents, and the VTS, which covers travel to Canada by international (United States and overseas) residents. Today, the VTS provides a full range of statistics on the volume of international travellers and detailed characteristics of their trips such as expenditures, activities, places visited and length of stay.
