BC Hotel Performance (STR) - September 2023
About STR
The Measuring Canadian Travel Patterns research data created by Environics Analytics helps the Canadian travel and tourism industry understand the impact of the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic as it relates to Domestic Overnight Visitors within Canada, its provinces, territories, and tourism regions.
Notes:
Data is based on the movement of mobile devices travelling within BC from BC or the rest of Canada who has spent one night 60 kms from their mobile device's home location. Therefore it includes all mobile movement - work and contractor travel, relocations within six months' time, visiting friends and relatives and people moving around their own regions.
The baseline of comparison is 2022, with percentages above 0% indicating higher rates of visitation in 2023 than 2022, and percentages below 0% indicating lower rates of visitation in 2023 than 2022.
Weekly comparisons may not reflect the exact same date between the two comparison years, especially now they are 3 years apart. Therefore holiday weekends may fall on different weeks and result in higher peaks in the current year.
METHODOLOGY
