Tourism Industry Performance
Explore Various Performance Indicators for Canada, BC and British Columbia’s Six Tourism Regions Published by Destination BC.
Tourism Indicators
The Tourism Indicators publication includes key tourism statistics such as international visitor arrivals data, provincial room revenue, commercial restaurant receipts, provincial and regional occupancy rates and average daily room rates, regional airports, ferries, and convention centres. These data tables are published quarterly by Destination BC.
International Visitor Arrivals
This monthly publication by Destination BC summarizes customs entries data to British Columbia and Canada from selected markets of origin. The International Visitor Arrivals publication includes information for both the particular month and year-to-date, and includes percentage changes over the same period of the previous year.
This publication reports on international overnight customs entries to Canada via BC. For example, a visitor from China, who lands in Vancouver and then boards a domestic flight to Toronto, is included. These reports do not include international visitors to Canada who crossed Canada Customs in another province and then visited BC. For example, a visitor from the UK, who lands in Calgary and drives to BC, is not included.
Value of Tourism
Published annually by Destination BC, the Value of Tourism in British Columbia summarizes information on the economic value the tourism industry contributes to the province. It includes 10 years of tourism revenue, gross domestic product, business data, employment data, visitor volume and market origin data.
