Notes:

Outbound person-visit: Refers to trip taken by one person to destinations outside of Ontario.

 

An international trip is defined by Statistics Canada as travel for less than 12 months for any reason by anybody except: immigrants, former residents, military personnel, diplomats and dependants and crews, returning to Canada who are cleared through Customs and Immigration point of entry. 

 

The methodology of the International Travel Survey has changed in 2000. Therefore, data prior to 2000 are not comparable to those after 2000.
