Canadian Travel Survey, 2004: Census Metropolitan Area Level Data

The Canadian Travel Survey (CTS) is a major source of data used to measure the size and status of Canada's tourism industry. It was developed to measure the volume, characteristics and economic impact of domestic travel. It gathers data on more than 30 variables, including socio-economic profiles, trip characteristics, and expenditures. The CTS is conducted by Statistics Canada, as a supplement of the Labour Force Survey (LFS: Survey Number 3701), with the cooperation and support of the Canadian Tourism Commission (CTC) and ten provincial governments. The main users of the survey data are the CTC, the provinces, and tourism boards. Other users include the media, businesses, consultants and researchers. These files contain records which relate to the activities of Canadians travelling in Canada; origin and destination; volumes; nights away from home; length of stay; type of transportation; purpose of trip; accommodation used; expenditures by categories; and demographic characteristics. Included are the complete Canada microdata file on person-trips, household trips, person-nights, person and reallocated expenditures.加拿大旅行调查（Canadian Travel Survey, CTS）是衡量加拿大旅游业规模与发展现状的核心数据来源。该调查旨在测算国内旅行的规模、特征及其经济影响，共采集超过30项变量数据，涵盖社会经济概况、旅行特征与消费支出等维度。加拿大旅行调查由加拿大统计局牵头开展，作为劳动力调查（Labour Force Survey, LFS：调查编号3701）的补充项目，并得到了加拿大旅游委员会（Canadian Tourism Commission, CTC）与十个省级政府的协作支持。该调查数据的主要使用者为加拿大旅游委员会、各省级政府及各地旅游局，其他使用者则包括媒体、企业、咨询机构与科研人员。本次数据集收录的记录涵盖加拿大人在境内旅行的各类相关信息，具体包括出行起讫点、出行规模、在外过夜次数、停留时长、交通方式、旅行目的、住宿类型、分类消费支出以及人口统计特征等内容。数据集完整包含了个人旅行、家庭旅行、个人过夜情况，以及个人与重新分配后消费支出的加拿大微观数据文件。
