Several decades of tourism research generally conclude that the benefits people expect to derive from their travel experience are better predictors of their travel behaviour than their income or other socio-demographic characteristics. Using the 2006 Travel and Activity Motivation Survey, this article uses an eight-point index to quantify the value of the three most popular benefits of vacation or pleasure travel: rest and relaxation; nurturing family and friendship ties; and learning and discovery. We compare the value of a given benefit for different kinds of travellers, and compare the value of one benefit relative to another.

This article examines the economic importance of international tourism to the Chinese economy, and the prospect of China becoming a major international tourism market. After decades of rapid economic growth, economic reforms and rising incomes, China could become one of the world's largest sources of international tourists by 2020, as well as a market of more than 1.2 billion potential consumers. The article also briefly describes Chinese travel to Canada.

With the Canadian economy in solid shape, the number of overnight trips made by Canadians in Canada remained steady in 1999, as did travel to overseas destinations.

The decade ended on a positive note with Canada welcoming a record 19.4 million overnight international tourists, a 3% increase over 1998.

To better understand the changes occuring in the US market, we will first compare the main characteristics of American travellers to Canada in 1990 and 1997. Then we will compare the characteristics of family travel and non-family travel seperately in 1990 and 1997.

With respect to the U.S -Canada Open Skies agreement as it pertains to air passenger traffic, the following questions need to be examined. What are the terms of the agreement as they related to air passenger travel? What were the new transborder city-pair routes that came into existence following the signing of the agreement? What were the market shares that U.S. and Canadian companies concerned after the three-year transition period of "Open Skies" and what was the composition of these shares? What is the possible impact of the agreement on various stakeholders?

The signs are all around us ... from coffee mugs boasting that "There is life after 50" to the popularity of golf to the growing number of adult lifestyle communities: Canada's population is getting older. The aging of the baby boom generation is largely responsible for this trend, coupled with historically low fertility and mortality rates. The baby boom generation has established trends in the marketplace as they have proceeded along the demographic trail. Tourism is no exception. Almost four out of every ten Canadians travelling within Canada were baby boomers in 1996 and they spent 53% of the total domestic expenditures. This article explore how this demographic cohort is influencing many current domestic travel trends and how these may shift in the future based on the travel behaviour of older age groups.

Canadians travel outside Canada for many different reasons. They want to escape the daily routine and pressures of life, recharge batteries and put day-to-day living back in perspective. Canadians want to relax, experience different cultures, expand their horizons, spend time with distant friends, explore and find adventure. For some people, business, employment, education or attending a convention is the motivation for travelling beyond our borders.
