Readcts1998.txt Canadian Travel Survey 1998 (CTS) l'Enquête sur les voyages des Canadiens 1998 (EVC) NOTE: Re-weighted to the 1996 Census Abstract: These micro-data files contains data relating to the activities of Canadians travelling in Canada; origin and destination; volumes; nights away from home; length of stay; type of transportation; purpose of trip; accomodation used; expenditures by categories; visits and reallocated expenditures; and demographic characteristics. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * * * "NOTE TO USERS OF THE CANADIAN TRAVEL SURVEY MICRODATA FILES * * STARDING IN 1998" * The 1998 documentation for the Canadian Travel Survey is not available right now. Up to the release date of this new documentation you can use information included in the 1997 "Canadian Travel Survey Microdata User's Guide" 87M0006GPE. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes to the Canadian Travel Survey microdata files for 1998 compared to 1997 The activity named visiting friends and relatives (in 1997 ) in now split into 2 categories : Visiting Relatives (ACTIVITY 1) Visiting Friends (ACTIVITY2). Consequently all other activities have shifted downward by 1. The mode of accommodation Fishing and Hunting lodge (LODGENT) is now shown separately. In previous years this category was included in the Resort category (RESORTNT) Expenditures for TAXI can be shown separately under (RTAXI) for reallocated expenditures and (TAXI) for reported expenditures. However, these expenditures are still included within local transportation: (RLOCALTR) for reallocated expenditures and (LOCALTR) for reported expenditures. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes to the Canadian Travel Survey microdata files for 1998 compared to 1998 Industry (INDUST) and Occupation (OCCUP) codes are now based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) instead of the 1980 Standard Industrial and Occupational Classifications (SIC) and (SOC). NOTE: Definitions and Tourism Regions codes may change every year. Users have to check the record layout of each year to find the geographical changes and check with Statistics Canada for definitions of the territory. Tourism Regions definitions are available on request only. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SURVEY STRUCTURE FOR THE DLI COLLECTION
