The Traveller Accommodation Services Price Index (TASPI) decreased 3.5% in the first quarter compared with the previous quarter. This decline reflects low seasonal demand for accommodation services, which was also observed in the previous quarter.

The decreases in Ontario (-10.3%) and the Atlantic (-1.5%) and Prairie (-1.1%) regions were moderated by gains in the territories (+2.5%), British Columbia (+1.5%) and Quebec (+1.0%).

Both the leisure client (-2.2%) and business client (-4.5%) components declined for Canada as a whole.

Year-over-year change

The TASPI rose 2.4% in the first quarter compared with the same quarter a year earlier. The Prairie region (-3.5%) was the only region to record a decline. British Columbia (+11.0%) posted the largest increase, followed by the Atlantic region (+4.6%), Quebec (+4.2%), the territories (+3.1%) and Ontario (+1.3%).

The index increased for both leisure (+4.4%) and business (+0.8%) clients at the national level.

  Note to readers

With the release of first quarter 2016 data, Statistics Canada redesigned the Traveller Accommodation Services Price Index (TASPI) to increase its relevance. The TASPI redesign included the selection of a new sample, data collection from the Internet (to reflect changes in the market and in the behaviour of clients), updated basket weights and an updated estimation methodology.

As a result of the changes in methodology, users should exercise caution when comparing index levels based on the new methodology with index levels based on the old methodology.

The TASPI series were converted to 2013=100, with 2013 as the base year. The relative importance of the basket items has been updated using the 2013 annual revenues from the Annual Survey of Service Industries – Accommodation Services (2418).

Two new CANSIM tables, 332-0026 (monthly) and 332-0027 (quarterly), based on 2013=100 and using new vectors, have replaced CANSIM table 326-0013, which was terminated with the release of first quarter 2016 data.

The TASPI measures the monthly and quarterly price movements of short-term accommodation services. This index reflects changes in room rates (excluding all taxes) and covers hotel and motel lodging services.

Separate index aggregations are available for Canada, the economic regions, provinces and territories, by major client group.

The index is not subject to revision and is not seasonally adjusted.
