The base year chosen for the current index is 2007. The example below illustrates the equation: (the of rooms occupied in January of year X / the of rooms occupied in January 2007) X 100. If the index is superior to 100, the number of rooms occupied has increase with reference to the base year. (**) The monthly aggregate index is obtained through weighting the four leading sectors of tourist activity. The weighting mode is explained in detail in the publication on the page presenting the index. This publication also includes the following statistics: Leading monthly statistics on the hotel industry and bed and breakfast. Enplaned passengers index at Jean-Lesage international Airport. International tourists entered in Canada by Québec boundaries. A forecast of upcoming events and conventions held in the region. Socio-economic and demographic information on the region.
