The line graph illustrates how many overseas visitors travelled to three different areas – the coast, the mountains, and the lakes – in a European country from 1987 to 2007.
Overall, the number of visitors increased in all three areas during the period, although the lakes experienced a sharp rise followed by a decline, while the coast remained the most popular destination throughout most of the years.
In 1987, the coast attracted around 40,000 visitors, which was significantly higher than the mountains (20,000) and the lakes (10,000). Over the next decade, the number of people visiting the coast slightly decreased, reaching around 35,000 in 1992, before gradually rising again to about 75,000 by 2007.
The mountains showed a steady but modest increase, climbing from 20,000 in 1987 to approximately 35,000 visitors in 2007. In contrast, the lakes saw dramatic changes: the number rose sharply from 10,000 in 1987 to a peak of about 75,000 in 2002, before falling back to around 50,000 by 2007.
In summary, despite fluctuations in the lakes category, all three areas became more popular with overseas visitors by the end of the period, with the coast and lakes being the most visited locations.
