The line graph illustrates the proportion of visitors to various major attractions in Edinburgh, Scotland, over a period of thirty years, from 1980 to 2010.
Overall, the four destinations experienced different trends throughout this time frame. While the attendance rates for the castle and zoo attractions increased—with some fluctuations—the number of visitors to the festival and aquarium declined over the same period.
At the beginning of the recorded period, the percentage of visitors to the castle was around 25%. This figure rose significantly each year, reaching approximately 45% in 1995. However, the popularity of the castle attractions saw a sudden drop to just above 30% by the end of the period, although it still ranked as the most popular venue overall. Meanwhile, the zoo’s visitor percentage fluctuated between approximately 10% and 15% over the two decades before experiencing a significant increase to 20% by 2010.
