Travel Survey of Residents of Canada, 2016: Person File, April

<p>The Travel Survey of Residents of Canada (TSRC) is a major source of data used to measure the size and status of Canada's tourism industry. It was developed to quantify the volume, the characteristics and the economic impact of domestic travel. For the system of national accounts, TSRC measures the size of domestic travel in Canada from the demand side. </p> <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.</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> <ul> <li> total volume of same-day and overnight trips taken by the residents of Canada with destinations in Canada, </li> <li> same-day and overnight visits in Canada,</li> <li> main purpose of the trip/key activities on trip,</li> <li> spending on same-day and overnight trips taken in Canada by Canadian residents in total and by category of expenditure,</li> <li> modes of transportation (main/other) used on the trip,</li> <li> person-visits, household-visits, spending in total and by expense category for each location visited in Canada,</li> <li> person- and household-nights spent in each location visited in Canada, in total and by type of accommodation used,</li> <li> use of travel packages and associated spending and source of payment (household, government, private employer),</li> <li> demographics of adults that took or did not take trips, and</li> <li> travel party composition.</li> </ul> <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>

加拿大居民旅行调查（Travel Survey of Residents of Canada，简称TSRC）是衡量加拿大旅游业规模与发展态势的核心数据来源。该调查旨在量化国内旅游的规模、特征及经济影响；在国民经济核算体系框架下，TSRC从需求端视角测算加拿大国内旅游的整体规模。

自2005年初起，加拿大居民旅行调查（TSRC）正式启动，用于测算加拿大国内旅游情况，其取代了原有的加拿大旅行调查（Canadian Travel Survey，简称CTS）。本次调查修订了多项定义并采用全新问卷，所得国内旅游测算结果更贴合世界旅游组织（World Tourism Organization，简称WTO）与联合国统计委员会制定的国际规范。2011年，TSRC完成了一轮重新设计。

加拿大居民旅行调查由加拿大统计局、加拿大旅游委员会及各省政府联合资助，同样从需求端视角测算加拿大国内旅游规模。本次调查的目标包括：按旅行出发地、目的地、时长、住宿类型、旅行目的、出行方式等维度，提供加拿大居民的旅行人次与支出相关信息；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画像。调查测算结果可支撑在全国、省级及旅游区域层面（精度存在差异）开展以下维度的季度分析：
- 加拿大居民在加拿大境内开展的当日往返旅行与过夜旅行总人次
- 加拿大境内的当日往返旅行与过夜旅行到访量
- 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支出情况
- 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的单人到访量、家庭到访量、总支出及分类支出情况
- 加拿大境内各到访地的单人住宿夜数与家庭住宿夜数总规模，以及按住宿类型划分的相关数据
- 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群体的人口统计学特征
- 旅行团组成情况

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、各省级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。
