National Travel Survey, 2023: Visit 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 visit file provides information on place(s) visited by those travellers, whether it was their main destination or an overnight stop on their journey. In addition to providing visit information, the visit file also includes reallocated household expenditures information. The visit concept is used to measure the number of person-visits to a specific location. The visit file has at least two records per visit location for every person-trip found on the-trip file (origin and destination). </p>
