Release date: 1998-07-13 - 55. Trading travellers - International travel trends ArchivedArticles and reports: 87-003-X19970043241Geography: CanadaDescription:
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.
Release date: 1997-10-06 - Articles and reports: 87-003-X19970023224Geography: CanadaDescription:
signed the "Open Skies" Agreement allowing both Canadian and American airlines to establish direct links between any pair of cities located on either side of the border. This opening of air space comes within the scope of the general movement towards free trade with our main trading partner and will stimulate competition among North American air carriers for the largest transborder market in the world. The outcome of the agreement on companies' long-term share of the market remains to be seen. The agreement provides for a three-year transition period to allow carriers to adjust to new market conditions. Although all the agreement's provisions have not yet come into effect, changes in the industry are already noticeable. Since it would be premature to draw conclusions about the impact of the agreement, we focus first on the effect of the pact on the market share that American and Canadian companies have cornered after a year of "Open Skies". Secondly, we study the possible impact of the agreement on various stakeholders. This analysis uses data from Statistics Canada's International Travel Survey (ITS).
Release date: 1997-04-03 - 57. A booming travel market ArchivedArticles and reports: 87-003-X19960042885Geography: CanadaDescription:
The analysis begins by examining the development of the Asian travel market in comparison with the European travel market, which remains the most important market for Canada. Next certain characteristics of visitors from two countries are explored, in particular: first Japan, and then, more briefly, South Korea. Finally, a few of the events that contributed to the extraordinary expansion of this market are described. The focus is put on Japan because so many Japanese tourists visit Canada and spend so much money, and on South Korea because it has the highest growth rate in travel to Canada.
