1 North American data in this
table are different from and should not be compared with the land
border-crossing data in table 3.3. These data cover visits by residents
and/or citizens of the United States, Canada, and Mexico to and from the
United States, while data in table 3.3 cover only the number of border
crossings into the United States regardless of residency or citizenship.
2 U.S.-Canada and U.S.-Mexico
overnight data presented in this table are from the U.S. Department of
Commerce, International Trade Administration, Office of Travel and Tourism
Industries. Throughout this report, U.S. Department of Commerce data are used
for overall overnight visitor totals, while Canadian and Mexican sources are
used for mode of transportation and trip purpose reporting. Data for table
3.1 are provided by Canadian and Mexican government agencies who make
adjustments and revisions to their data at the modal level. Subsequently, the
overall overnight travel totals provided by the U.S. Department of Commerce
will differ from those in table 3.1.
3 The aggregate figures for
overseas visits differ from the sum of visits to or from individual regions
because a single outbound visit by a U.S. resident is counted once as an
"overseas" visit but could be attributed to multiple regions. Overseas travel
excludes travel to Canada and Mexico. Outbound refers to U.S. residents
traveling overseas and inbound refers to foreign residents traveling to the
United States.
NOTES:
2000-2003 inbound data revised for Canada and Mexico only.
Overnight
= one or more nights spent on travel.
