The bar chart compares the number of jobs in four varying tourism-connected industries in one of the cities in the United Kingdom from 1989 to 2009.
At first glance, it is evident that throughout the entire period, restaurants and hotels were the most dominant industries. Conversely, the other industries, such as sport and leisure, and travel and tours were significantly less popular.
Looking at the details, across the entire period, the restaurant figure rose up remarkably. However, despite reaching its highest point in 2004 at approximately 1600 jobs, the industry dipped to around 1250 jobs in 2009. On the contrary, the figure for hotels reached its peak at 1400 jobs in 1999, followed by a moderate decrease during the next 10 years. Eventually, it accounted for 1010 jobs in 2009.
Turning to the remaining data, travel and tours had a similar trend to the figure for hotels. This industry reached its highest point in 1994 at 1010 jobs, and then hit its trough at 400 jobs in 2009. On the other hand, sports and leisure figure was the most oscillated one with its lowest points in 1994 and 2009 at 610 jobs, and its peak in 1999 at 1010 jobs.
