Travellers from abroad made 4.8 million trips to Canada in the first quarter, down 0.6% from the first quarter of 2018. Foreign traveller spending totalled $3.0 billion in Canada, more than half (54.4%) of which was by residents from overseas countries (countries other than the United States).
National Travel Survey, first quarter 2019
Residents of Canada made 63.5 million trips in Canada and abroad in the first quarter, spending $19.2 billion. Although Canadians travelled less (-3.5%) overall compared with the first quarter of 2018, their travel spending (+0.2%) rose slightly. The decline in travel was due largely to fewer trips within Canada and to the United States compared with the same quarter of the previous year.
