Notes:

Person-visit: Same-day or overnight visit made by a foreign traveller taking a trip. 

 

All the travel data released by the Ontario Ministry of Tourism adopts a different definition of "trip" than that used by Statistics Canada for international trips to 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, arriving in Canada who are cleared through a Customs and Immigration point of entry. 

 

In addition to the restrictions imposed in the above definition, the Ontario Ministry of Tourism also excludes commuters to work and to schools.

 

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

 

Discrepancies are due to rounding.
