Travel Survey of Residents of Canada, 2013: Person File, April

<p>Since the beginning of 2005, the Travel Survey of Residents of Canada (TSRC) has been conducted to measure domestic travel in Canada. It replaces the Canadian Travel Survey (CTS). Featuring several definitional changes and a new questionnaire, this survey provides estimates of domestic travel that are more in line with the international guidelines recommended by the World Tourism Organization (WTO) and the United Nations Statistical Commission. In 2011, TSRC underwent a redesign. Please refer to the document entitled Differences Between the 2011 Redesigned TSRC and the 2010 TSRC available in the "Documentation" section of this survey, for an explanation of the differences between TSRC from 2006-2010 and TSRC in 2011.</p> <p> The Travel Survey of Residents of Canada is sponsored by Statistics Canada, the Canadian Tourism Commission, and the provincial governments. It measures the size of domestic travel in Canada from the demand side. The objectives of the survey are to provide information about the volume of trips and expenditures for Canadian residents by trip origin, destination, duration, type of accommodation used, trip reason, mode of travel, etc.; to provide information on travel incidence and to provide the socio-demographic profile of travellers and non-travellers. Estimates allow quarterly analysis at the national, provincial and tourism region level (with varying degrees of precision) on:</p> <p> - total volume of same-day and overnight trips taken by the residents of Canada with destinations in Canada, - same-day and overnight visits in Canada, - main purpose of the trip/key activities on trip, - spending on same-day and overnight trips taken in Canada by Canadian residents in total and by category of expenditure, - modes of transportation (main/other) used on the trip, - person-visits, household-visits, spending in total and by expense category for each location visited in Canada, - person- and household-nights spent in each location visited in Canada, in total and by type of accommodation used, - use of travel packages and associated spending and source of payment (household, government, private employer), - demographics of adults that took or did not take trips, and - travel party composition.</p> <p> The main users of the TSRC data are Statistics Canada, the Canadian Tourism Commission, the provinces, and tourism boards. Other users include the media, businesses, consultants and researchers.</p>

自2005年起，加拿大居民旅行调查（Travel Survey of Residents of Canada，TSRC）正式启动，用于测算加拿大国内旅行情况，其取代了原有的加拿大旅行调查（Canadian Travel Survey，CTS）。本次调查在定义层面做出多项调整，并采用全新问卷，所生成的国内旅行测算结果更贴合世界旅游组织（World Tourism Organization，WTO）与联合国统计委员会（United Nations Statistical Commission）推荐的国际规范。2011年，TSRC经历了重新设计。如需了解2006-2010年版TSRC与2011年版TSRC的差异详情，请参阅本次调查“文档”板块中题为《Differences Between the 2011 Redesigned TSRC and the 2010 TSRC》的说明文件。

加拿大居民旅行调查由加拿大统计局（Statistics Canada）、加拿大旅游委员会（Canadian Tourism Commission）及各省政府联合资助。该调查从需求端切入，测算加拿大国内旅行的整体规模，其调查目标包括：按旅行出发地、目的地、时长、住宿类型、旅行目的、交通方式等维度，提供加拿大居民的旅行频次与支出相关信息；统计旅行参与率，并梳理旅行者与非旅行者的社会人口学特征。基于本次调查的测算结果，可在国家级、省级以及旅游区域层面（精度存在差异）开展以下季度分析：
- 以加拿大境内为目的地的加拿大居民当日往返旅行与过夜旅行总规模；
- 加拿大境内的当日往返出行与过夜出行人次；
- 旅行主要目的/旅途中的核心活动；
- 加拿大居民在加拿大境内开展的当日往返与过夜旅行的总支出及分类别支出；
- 旅行中使用的交通方式（主要交通方式/其他交通方式）；
- 加拿大境内各到访地点的人次到访、户次到访、总支出及分类别支出；
- 加拿大境内各到访地点的总人夜数与总户数夜数，并按住宿类型分类统计；
- 旅行套餐的使用情况、相关支出及支付来源（家庭、政府、私营雇主）；
- 参与旅行与未参与旅行的成年人的人口统计学特征；
- 旅行团队构成。

TSRC数据的主要使用者包括加拿大统计局、加拿大旅游委员会、各省政府及旅游管理机构，其他使用者涵盖媒体、企业、咨询机构与研究人员。
