Note: The Canadian Travel Survey (CTS) which provided measures of domestic travel in Canada was terminated with the 2004 data. It was replaced with the Travel Survey of Residents of Canada (TSRC). This new survey provides estimates of domestic travel that are more in line with the international guidelines recommended by the World Tourism Organization (WTO) and the United Nations
Statistical Commission. See Table A2-14B for the 2005 estimates.
