  • The chart below shows annual results from three sources: the Visitor Exit Survey (VES) from the Yukon Bureau of Statistics, and the National Travel Survey (NTS) and Visitor Travel Survey (VTS) from Statistics Canada.
  • Note: To provide a more comprehensive view of visitation, the historical data has been revised to include trips made by Yukoners within the territory. Because of this change, previously published figures may not match.
  • (Data updated annually. Current as of November, 2025.)

Notes on data: Visitor numbers are estimates based on data from Statistics Canada's National Travel Survey (NTS) and Visitor Travel Survey (VTS), combined with historical visitor data from the Visitor Exit Survey (VES).

A visitor is a traveller taking a trip to a main destination outside their usual environment, for less than a year, and for any main purpose (business, leisure or personal) other than to be employed by a resident entity in the place visited.

Numbers have been rounded to the nearest hundred.
