Data for the Canadian Tourism Activity Tracker for November 2022 are now available.
Note to readers
The Canadian Tourism Activity Tracker is part of a shift at Statistics Canada from measuring the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic to assessing the recovery. The tracker combines data from multiple sources, including counts of international travellers, domestic and international commercial aircraft and surface movements, as well as hotel occupancy rates and restaurant sales.
As an experimental product, caution is warranted when interpreting these estimates. As such, tracker estimates should be viewed as preliminary and are subject to revision. More data sources being considered along with new methods may entail the need for further revisions.
The return of cruise ships visiting Prince Edward Island created a measurement anomaly: a high number of inbound visitors to the island. The number of maiden international visitors continues to exceed the pre-pandemic levels used to establish the 2019 base value.
