Note(s):
Totals may not add up due to rounding. All figures are expressed in current dollars at purchaser prices. Purchaser prices are defined as the amount payable by the purchaser, excluding any deductible Value Added Tax (VAT) or similar deductible tax, in order to take delivery of a unit of a good or service at the time and place required by the purchaser. The purchaser's price of a good includes any transport charges paid separately by the purchaser to take delivery at the required time and place. This is the basis of valuation for a product used for intermediate consumption or for final consumption by the purchaser.

Export tourism spending is spending by foreign visitors on Canadian-produced tourism goods and services. It includes spending that may take place outside of Canada, for instance, the purchase of an airline ticket from a Canadian international carrier, to travel to Canada.
