In the other direction, travel by Canadian residents abroad fell 0.6% to 4.8 million trips compared with March. This decrease was largely due to the 1.2% decline in same-day car trips by Canadian residents to the United States.

The number of trips made by Canadian residents to overseas countries increased 1.5% to 929,000 trips.
