Overview

• The purpose of this project is to see what
  characteristics of a traveler in Canada are
  prevalent. I will be comparing characteristics of
  the Canadian Population to characteristics of
  Canadian travelers.

3
Thesis

• A person traveling within Canada is more likely
  to be a 50 year old, married man with a
  postsecondary certificate, working in a
  managerial position, from Ontario, traveling
  within Ontario.

Non Resident Travel VS. Intraprovincial
5
Are You More Likely To Travel Within Ontario?
6
Since the measures of central tendencies were
very similar you can conclude that travelers of
all age groups travel in proportion to the
population. When analyzing the probabilities you
find that you are more likely to find a 50 year
old on a trip. Another observation that can be
made is that you are less likely to be a traveler
when you are 65 years of age or older.
7
Genders Relation to Travel
My hypothesis that you are more likely to be a
male traveler than female is correct.
8
Relationship Between Educational Attainment and
Being a Traveler
46 of Canadians have a Post Secondary
Certificate or University Degree. Whereas 58 of
travelers have a Post Secondary Certificate of
University Degree. Stating that you are more
likely to travel if you have a greater
educational attainment.
9
You are more likely to be a traveler if you are
unemployed versus if you are just a regular
Canadian. There is only a difference of 0.03 in
the probability that you are in a managerial
position if you are a traveler, disproving my
hypothesis. Travelers are just as likely to be in
that position if you are a random Canadian.

Conclusion
Final Score

• Being Male If you were to come across a traveler
  53 of the time he would be male.
• Destination Ontario Ontario is indeed the most
  popular destination, but when analyzing the fact
  that 89 of trips are taken intra-provincially,
  Ontario is the most populated province thus
  naturally it will have more trips taken within
  it. PEI on the other hand has the most out of
  province visitors, at 63.
• Being Ontarian If you are taking a trip to
  Ontario you are indeed more likely to be Ontarian
  within that population, but as a whole in
  relation to that population of Canada you are
  less likely to be Ontarian if you are a traveler.
• Being 50 When comparing the ages of Canadians to
  the ages of traveling Canadians you are indeed
  more likely to be 50 years old if selected at
  random than from the population of Canada. Though
  only by 2 showing that this relationship is very
  weak. Though one observation that was made is
  that you are less likely to be over 65 years old
  and a traveler, this relationship is stronger at
  5.
• Having a Higher Education You are more likely to
  have a high school certificate or university
  degree if you are a traveler by 12. Stating that
  education can take you places ?
• Being in a Managerial position This one was
  incorrect. You are just as likely to be in a
  managerial position.
• Married You are 8 more likely to be married if
  you are a traveler than if you are a regular
  Canadian. Though if you are married you are less
  likely to stay overnight on a trip.
