From 1986 until very recently, international tourism experienced a period of rapid growth worldwide. In 1996, for all trips of one or more nights taken anywhere in the world there was sustained growth of 5.6 percent in arrivals and 8.2 percent in international tourism receipts as compared with 1995. These increases represented 595 million out-of-country trips taken around the world and $434 billion US in revenue.

Alone deck chair. A headstone that read J. Dawson. Not your usual tourism products, but then nothing about the Titanic was ordinary. The story of the ill-fated ship that sank in 1912 has been given new life with the release of the academy award winning movie, Titanic, in January 1998.

Description:

In the first half of 1998, Canada's travel account deficit reached a ten year low of $3 billion, down almost 18% from the same period in 1997. This is a positive sign. But, it should be recognized that Canada's travel account does not measure the financial health of its tourism industry. Canada's travel account simply measures the difference between earnings from visitors travelling in Canada and spending by Canadian residents travelling abroad.

Description:

In June 1997 Statistics Canada released revised National Tourism Indicators (NTI) data for the 1986 to 1996 period. NTI data can be used for three general purposes: to monitor the current state of tourism in Canada, to analyse the economic structure of tourism and its policy ramifications, and to study statistical trends and cycles in tourism.

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.

Description:

Canadian consumers browsing through most travel agency offices are likely to be bombarded with brochures beckoning them to take a cruise to the Caribbean, tour the rich history of Europe, enjoy a theater package in London or sample wines in California, to name a few. But where are the tantalizing Canadian packaged products?

Description:

Tourism is increasingly seen as a means of providing a link between culture, heritage and identity and economic development and job stimulation. Each year, Canadian communities are expanding their repertoire of local events and activities in recognition of their importance in attracting tourists.

This article describes the upcoming revisions (November 2019) in the Canadian Macroeconomic Accounts resulting from the inclusion of illegal cannabis production, consumption and distribution as well as statistical revisions of the international travel services.

With the release of the first quarter 2013 estimates in June 2013, the National Tourism Indicators (NTI) were revised from the first quarter of 2009 to the fourth quarter of 2012. In addition, all data series expressed at 2002 prices (adjusted for inflation) have been rebased to the 2007 reference year. The change affects National tourism indicators data adjusted for inflation from 1986 to date. This article explains the impact of new and revised data on the NTI.

Description:

This Canadian Tourism Satellite Account Handbook developed by Statistics Canada is intended as a guide to how the Canadian Tourism Satellite Account (CTSA) is compiled. The Tourism Satellite Account (TSA) has become the internationally recognized framework and a vital tool by which to measure tourism activity in an economy. The goal of this handbook is to make the CTSA and its inner workings as transparent as possible by bringing previous internal documentation into the public realm along side previously published documents and new documentation. By sharing the Canadian practical experiences in development of the TSA, it should benefit other countries and other interested practitioners in the process of developing and understanding TSAs.

This handbook covers information on the relevant tourism and national accounting concepts and definitions related to the CTSA. Detailed explanations of the various survey data sources and the methods used to move this data into the TSA framework are discussed.

How "good" are the National Tourism Indicators (NTI)? How can their quality be measured? This study looks to answer these questions by analysing the revisions to the NTI estimates for the period 1997 through 2001.

Description: This guide provides indicators that are used to monitor supply, demand and employment for tourism in Canada on a timely basis. The guide provides information on the methods used to derive the supply, demand and employment indicators. It also provides information on the seasonal adjustment method and the derivation of constant dollar series. This guide was commissioned by the Canadian Tourism Commission (CTC), following a pilot project providing quarterly and annual updates for the Tourism Satellite Account (TSA 1988).

Description:

The purpose of this article is to inform Travel-log readers of the availability of a new analytical tool - the National Tourism Indicators. These estimates, which measure trends in tourism in Canada, are placed in perspective here, taking into account the concepts and definitions used in developing them.

Description: This survey collects data on a continuous basis from visitors from countries other than the United States.

Description: The National Tourism Indicators (NTI) provide timely information which facilitates ongoing monitoring and analysis of tourism and its related activities in Canada.
