The annual domestic visitor profiles by region are based on analysis of the National Travel Survey (NTS) conducted by Statistics Canada. The NTS provides tourism information for travel in Alberta by domestic visitors from Alberta and other parts of Canada, and includes same-day and overnight trips for Albertans and residents from other parts of Canada.

Detailed characteristics are only available for Canadian visitors.
