U.S. TRAVEL MARKET Visiting Casinos, Theatre and Comedy While on Trips Of One or More Nights A Profile Report July 25, 2007 Prepared by Lang Research Inc. on behalf of: Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Ontario Tourism Marketing Partnership Corporation, Quebec Ministry of Tourism, Travel Manitoba, Canadian Tourism Commission, Tourism Saskatchewan, Atlantic Canada Tourism Partnership, Alberta Tourism, Parks, Recreation and Culture, Department of Canadian Heritage, Tourism British Columbia, Parks Canada Agency, Government of Yukon, Government of Northwest Territories

TAMS 2006: U.S. Activity Profile: Visiting Casinos, Theatre and Comedy on Trips Page 1 Executive Summary Over the last two years, 35.1% (77,456,942) of adult Americans went to a casino, live theatre or comedy club while on an out-of-town, overnight trip of one or more nights. Visiting a casino (27.2%) was the most popular activity, followed by attending a live theatre performance (10.3%), attending a comedy club or a variety show performance (8.5%), and attending a dinner theatre performance (4.9%). 39.1% (30,258,934) of those who went to a casino, a live theatre performance or a comedy club reported that this activity was the main reason for taking at least one trip in the last two years. Relative to the average U.S. Traveler, those who went to a casino, live theatre performance or comedy club while traveling tend to be older, married and without dependent children at home. They have an above-average level of education and above-average household incomes ($81,201). They are over-represented in the Pacific, Middle Atlantic and Mountain regions and tend to live in large cities (2 million or more). Over the past two years, this segment traveled more frequently than the average U.S. Traveler and they were somewhat more likely to have taken a trip to Canada (19.6% versus 14.6%). The most common Canadian destinations were Ontario, British Columbia and Quebec although they were over-represented among U.S. visitors to all Canadian provinces and territories making this a good secondary target market (although not a prime target) for Canadian tourism initiatives. Travelers who went to casinos, live theatre and comedy clubs were more likely than the typical U.S. Traveler to have pursued a wide variety of culture and entertainment activities while on trips. Relative to the average U.S. Traveler they were especially likely to attend high art performances and theatre, film and music festivals. They were also more likely to take tours and cruises, and especially ocean cruises (which often have casinos and other forms of live entertainment). They stayed most often at a seaside resort and exhibit particular interest in fine cuisine (e.g., country inn or resort with gourmet dining). They look for vacations which offer mid-priced or luxury accommodation, lots to see and do and an opportunity to be pampered. They are likely to more responsive to travel packages than the average U.S. Traveler. Most in this segment have used the Internet to plan (75.8%) and book (56.9%) vacations in the past two years. They are avid consumers of travel-related media (travel sections of weekend, travel magazines, websites, television shows) and they can also be targeted effectively through magazines that focus on city lifestyles as well as business, finance and investing.

TAMS 2006: U.S. Activity Profile: Visiting Casinos, Theatre and Comedy on Trips Page 2 Travel Activity and Motivation Survey (TAMS) The TAMS survey examines the recreational activities and travel habits of Canadians and Americans. The survey examines out-of-town, overnight travel behaviour of one or more nights over the past two years and provides detailed information on Travelers activities, travel motivators, places visited, type of accommodation used, impressions of Canada, its provinces and territories, demographics and media consumption patterns. TAMS represents a comprehensive assessment of travel behaviour and motivators and provides a rich and authoritative database by which to develop marketing strategies and travel products to attract visitors to Canada. In particular, TAMS was designed to: o Identify existing and potential tourism markets; o Measure the likelihood of these tourism markets being attracted to vacation experiences in Canada; o Create packaging opportunities for each of these markets; o Determine how to reach these markets (i.e., in terms of media strategies); and o Provide information on how to fine-tune and target existing marketing campaigns. TAMS was sponsored by the following organizations: Ontario Ministry of Tourism Quebec Ministry of Tourism Ontario Tourism Marketing Partnership Corporation Travel Manitoba Canadian Tourism Commission Tourism Saskatchewan Atlantic Canada Tourism Partnership Parks Canada Agency Department of Canadian Heritage Tourism British Columbia Alberta Tourism, Parks, Recreation and Culture Government of Yukon Government of Northwest Territories Statistics Canada The survey was conducted in Canada and the United States between January 2006 and June 2006 and it includes only adults (18 years and over). The reference period for the data is 2004 and 2005. The U.S. database is used in this current report. This survey was conducted by mail with an established U.S. mail panel. 60,649 completed questionnaires were returned. The mail panel response rate for this survey was 71.3%. The data have been weighted to project the results to the United States population. This report profiles those who visited casinos, live theatre and comedy clubs while on a trip, and compares them with other U.S. Travelers (i.e., took at least one pleasure trip in the last two years). This report is part of a series of 43 Activity Reports prepared using the U.S. TAMS database.

TAMS 2006: U.S. Activity Profile: Visiting Casinos, Theatre and Comedy on Trips Page 3 Casino, Theatre & Comedy While on Trips Market Incidence Over the last two years, 35.1% (77,456,942) of adult Americans went to casinos, live theatre performances and comedy clubs while on an out-of-town, overnight trip of one or more nights. Visiting a casino was the most popular activity (27.2%), followed by attending live theatre performances (10.3%), stand-up comedy or other variety shows (8.5%) and dinner theatre performances (4.9%). 39.1% (30,258,934 adult Americans) of those who went to casinos, live theatre or comedy clubs while traveling report that this activity was the main reason for taking at least one trip in the past two years. Visiting a casino and attending live theatre or dinner theatre performances were more likely to be the main reason for a trip than attending comedy clubs and other variety shows.

The Index indicates the extent to which those who went to casinos, live theatre or comedy clubs are over or under-represented relative to the average Traveler. An index of 100 means the percent participating in the activity is the same as that of the average U.S. Traveler. Index values over 100 indicate that those participating in the activity are over-represented. Index values less than 100 indicate that those participating in the activity are under-represented relative to the average U.S. Traveler.

TAMS 2006: U.S. Activity Profile: Visiting Casinos, Theatre and Comedy on Trips Page 7 Travel Activity (During Last Two Years) Those who went to casinos, live theatre and comedy clubs while on trips traveled more frequently than the average U.S. Traveler. They were more likely to have taken trips both within their own state and to other American states in the past two years. They were also more likely than average to have visited Mexico, the Caribbean and overseas destinations. Those who went to casinos, live theatre and comedy clubs while on trips were also more likely than the average U.S. Traveler to have taken a trip to Canada in the past two years (19.6% versus 14.6%). The most common destinations in Canada were Ontario (11.3%), British Columbia (5.7%) and Quebec (4.4%). However, this segment is over-represented among U.S. visitors to all Canadian provinces or territories and especially the Atlantic Region. This makes this segment a good, secondary target, although not a prime target, for Canadian tourism initiative.

TAMS 2006: U.S. Activity Profile: Visiting Casinos, Theatre and Comedy on Trips Page 15 Benefits Sought While on Vacation Similar to most U.S. Travelers, the majority of those who went to casinos, live theatre and comedy clubs while on trips take vacations to get a break from their day-today environment, relax and relieve stress, create lasting memories, enrich family relationships and live without a fixed schedule.
