Canadian Travel Survey, 1998
Throughout 1998, Statistics Canada interviewed approximately 180,000 Canadians across the country about their trips in Canada, about themselves and their households. The Canadian Travel Survey provides a yardstick for identifying who is travelling, the types of trips they are taking and how much they are spending.

Canadian Travel Survey, 1998
These findings will provide valuable clues to the tourism industry decision-makers in business and government about how they can market Canada to Canadians through marketing strategies, advertising and product development.The Canadian Travel Survey: Domestic Travel (87-212-XIE, $20; 87-212-XPB, $47) is now available.The Daily.

Person Microdata File
Each person is in the file only onceIncludes people who are travellers
(TOTTRIP > 0) and non-travellers (TOTTRIP = 0)
The total count of all non-travellers and travellers adds to the non-institutionalized Canadian population aged 15 and over in each monthly file (Jan-Nov) and in the annual file (Dec)
Person Microdata File
This file contains the volume of travellers and non-travellers but not the volume of trips
Only the person weight can be used with this file or when linked with records from the TRIP file
Person files cannot be combined across months; the data cannot be added over months
Unit of Analysis: Person
Conceptual social unit: single social entity, vis., non-institutionalized persons who 15 years or older
time: single point in time, vis., each month within 1998
spatial: Canada
Unit of Analysis: Person

Trip Microdata File
One record exists for each trip taken by travellers
Can be analyzed only when linked with the Person file– Linkage is performed using the unique
person id (UNIQID) Sort the Person file by UNIQID Sort the Trip file by UNIQID and
TRIPNUM
Trip Microdata File
• Duplicate records of the same traveller have to be eliminated on the basis of selected trip characteristics to avoid double-counting
The trip file cannot be analyzed alone; no weight variable is included in this file
Must be merged with the Person file and the Person weight used
Trip Microdata File
The December trip files contains only trip information for those who travelled in December and cannot be used with annual information from the Person December file.
Unit of Analysis: Trip
Conceptual social unit: transactional observations, i.e., observed when a person goes on a trip
time: one or more times within a month
spatial: Canada

Person-trip Microdata File
One record exists for each traveller for each trip
There are adult and child records in this file
One record for adults from the same household regardless of the number of adults and one record for children from the same household regardless of the number of children who travelled
Person-trip Microdata File
This file allows calculating person-trip or household-trip information
The person-trip concept is used to measure the total number of trips combined with the total number of people who went on the trip
When compiling person-trip information, the Person-trip weight must be used (PTRIPWT)
Person-trip Microdata File
A household-trip is defined as a trip involving one or more persons from the same household leaving and returning together
The household-trip concept is used to measure the total number of trips.
The household-trip weight variable must be used when compiling household information (HHTRIPWT)
Person-trip Microdata File
Both the person-trip and household-trip information provided in monthly files is additive
Reported expenditures are only available in the Person-Trip file
When compiling expenditure data, only the household-trip weight can be used because these expenditures represent household expenses and not just traveller’s expenses
Unit of Analysis: Person-trip
Conceptual social unit: transactional
observations, representing a traveller and a trip
time: one or more times within a month, and months can be combined
spatial: Canada
Unit of Analysis: Person-trip
Structural one file: a record represents a
traveller (adult or child) and a trip
crossed: person by trip hierarchical

Visit
Key: linkable via UNIQID & TRIPNUM
Visit Microdata File
A visit is defined as location of destination of the trip whether for an overnight stay of the traveller or a same-day trip
A visit can be a part or the whole trip
The visit concept is used to measure the number of person-visits who went to a specific location
Visit Microdata File
Visit information is provided at four different geographic levels: CD, CMA, Province and Tourism Region.
Each monthly visit file also contains reallocated expenditure information representing the money spent in each location
The person-visit information is additive across monthly files
Visit Microdata File
To use the information in the person-visit file, the information must be linked with the person-trip file of the same month.
Linkage with the person-trip file– Sort the person-trip file by:
MONTH, UNIQID, TRIPNUM, ADCH– Sort the visit file by:
MONTH, UNIQID, TRIPNUM, ADCH, REXPROV, REALTYPE
– Link by UNIQID and TRIPNUM
Visit Microdata File
When compiling visit information, the person-trip weight (PTRIPWT) must be used.
When compiling reallocated expenditures information, the household-trip weight (HHTRIPWT) must be used.
Unit of Analysis: Person-visit
Conceptual social unit: transactional
observations, representing a visit to a destination
time: one or more times within a month, and months can be combined
spatial: organized around Province, CMA, CD, and Tourism Region
Unit of Analysis: Person-visit
Structural one file: a record represents a visit to a destination
relational: n to 1 one or more visit records, based
on destination, for each trip in the person-trip file
