Totals exceed the sum of "same-day car trips" and "total trips, one or more nights" because they include all of the same-day trips.

Estimates for the United States include counts of cars and buses, and estimated numbers for planes, trains, boats and other methods.

Figures for other countries exclude same-day entries by land only, via the United States.

Includes same-day and overnight trips.
