The line chart illustrates how many overseas visitors came to three different nations from 2000 to 2010.
It can be seen from the chart that the overall trend was upward as the number of international travelers increased during the period. In particular, there were dramatic rises for France (moving it 2nd to 1st place) and Japan, while the USA demonstrated comparatively steady growth.
The USA began the period with the highest number of over 40 million in 2000. Over the following ten years, it experienced a clear moderate increase despite some fluctuations, finishing at roughly 80 million in 2010.
Moving on to the remaining figures, France started in 2nd place with 30 million and surged to nearly 90 million by 2010, becoming the leading figure of three countries. Similarly, Japan grew relatively significantly from its starting point of only 5 million to over 25 million at the end of the time frame.
