Section 4 <br />Destinations <br />Distribution of international travel <br />Approximately 14.4 percent of the survey's travelers had international itineraries. Of the 10,215 <br />international travelers in the sample survey, 31.9 percent were destined for Europe. Of air travelers with <br />an international itinerary, 31.4 percent were destined for the number two international region, Mexico and <br />Central America. Of the travelers destined for Europe or Mexico and Central America, 33.6 percent and <br />31.0 percent, respectively, accessed air service at Eugene Airport. Eugene Airport retained the majority <br />of survey travelers destined for Canada or Asia. Table 4.7 breaks down the international air travelers by <br />originating airport and region. <br />The majority of the survey travelers with international itineraries diverted from the local airport to use <br />Portland International Airport. This is likely due to the availability of single plane and limited nonstop <br />international service offered there. Eugene Airport's retention was higher to international regions where <br />Seattle/Tacoma International Airport or San Francisco International Airport had significantly better <br />international travel options over Portland International Airport (Asia, Canada, Australia, and Oceania). In <br />that type of scenario, a traveler originating at Eugene Airport would have the same quality of connections <br />as originating out of Portland International Airport. <br />Table 4.7 Regional distribution of international passengers <br />Region Originating a irport Total <br /> Eugene Portland <br />Europe Pax 1,096 2 166 3,2E <br /> <br />of row <br />33.6 ~~,~wv <br />66.4 ...,.~,~.. <br />100 <br /> °lo of column 28.4 34.1 <br />~ 31 <br />. <br />Mexico & Central Pax ~ 994 ~ w <br />2,215 „~~ <br />3,2( <br />:America °~, of row 31.0 69.0 100 <br />., <br />„w,~,..~ <br /> %. of column 25.7, 34.95 ~.m <br />31 <br />C:anacia Pax 770 555 <br />~ 1,3~ <br /> °~~ of row ~ 58.1 41.9 <br />~ <br />~ 100 <br /> "~: of column 19.9 $.7 13 <br />Asia Pax 586 444 1,0< <br /> ",~~ of row 56.9 43.9 <br />... <br />.... 100 <br />- <br /> <br />~, of column <br />15.2' . <br />7.0, - <br />~ 10 <br />~ <br /> <br />C~fribbean <br />Pax ~ <br />44, <br />3461 . <br />3t <br /> `)~~ of row 11.3 88.7 100 <br />~~ <br /> ;~ of column 1.1 5.4 ~ <br />3 <br /> <br />South America <br />Pax <br />115 <br />273 <br />. ~~~ <br />3£ <br />.:. <br />.~: <br /> °~~ of row 29.6 70.4 ~ <br />1.00 <br /> °% of column 3.0 4.3 . 3 <br />Australia & Pax 170 172 ( 3~ <br />Oceania ,o of row 49.7 50.3 10_0 <br /> `;4, of column 4.4 2.7 <br />3 <br />Africa.
