Coats Building, Ottawa, K1A 0T6 Telephone: 1-613-951-3640 Statistics Statistique Canada Canada Canada Canadian Tourism Satellite Account Handbook The Canadian Tourism Satellite Account Handbook is intended as a guide to how the Canadian Tourism Satellite Account (CTSA) is compiled. The Tourism Satellite Account (TSA) has become the internationally recognized framework and an important tool by which to measure tourism activity in an economy. The goal of this handbook is to make the CTSA and its inner workings as transparent as possible. By sharing the Canadian practical experiences in development of the TSA, it should benefit other countries and other interested practitioners in the process of developing and understanding TSAs. This handbook covers information on the relevant tourism and national accounting concepts and definitions related to the CTSA. The various survey data sources and the methods used to move this data into the TSA framework are discussed. The Canadian Tourism Satellite Account Handbook was funded through a partnership agreement between the Canadian Tourism Commission and Statistics Canada.
