Pretty obvious when you look at the PDF; about two-thirds of Edmonton's totals are from intra-province visits; where are those people coming from? Well, probably a lot of them from Calgary. So people from Calgary visit Edmonton more than people from Edmonton visit Calgary. Congrats on that, Edmonton. Clearly Central Alberta is first in intra-provincial visits because everyone drives through on their way to either Edmonton or Calgary. Again, not really much to brag about.
Note that Calgary is ahead of Edmonton in terms of total overnight visits; which to me would say that people (again, probably mostly people from Edmonton) find more stuff to do in Calgary. And sure, more US visits go visit Edmonton, but then more overseas visitors go for Calgary. Again, if Edmonton wants to brag about that, be my guest.
