2 Introduction Whether to see their friends and relatives, for business, or for pleasure, 33.1 million total visits were made in 2012 to destinations in Alberta by residents of Alberta, other parts of Canada, the United States and overseas countries. To better understand the volume and characteristics of these visitors, Alberta Tourism, Parks and Recreation has prepared a special analyses of the 2012 Travel Survey of Residents of Canada (TSRC) and the 2012 International Travel Survey (ITS), which are both conducted by Statistics Canada.
