The bar chart compares the number of tourists who traveled to Australia in 1995 and 2005 from three different nations. Moreover, the line graph illustrates the preferred types of trips between 1995 and 2005. Overall, most categories increased, while only one experienced a decline. It is clear that the UK and the US had equal figures in 2005. Additionally, the US had the lowest figure in 1995. However, the line graph shows that a stay at a resort was more popular than backpacking throughout the period.
Looking at the bar chart, the numbers for the UK and the US did not change much; in 2005 they were both around 14,000,000 , which was the highest figure overall. In 1995 the three countries showed different trends. The UK’s figure increased, the US’s figure fell by about 5,000,000 , and Japan experienced a significant rise, with the number reaching 12,000,000 , the second-highest figure after the UK and the US. Unfortunately, Japan’s figure declined by 2005.
Turning to the line graph, the most favoured type of trip was staying at a resort from 1995 to 2005. Staying at a resort reached a peak in 2000 at around 25,000,000 people. The number of resort visitors rose sharply between 1995 and 2000. By contrast, the proportion of backpackers rose steadily. In 1995 the lowest number of people preferred backpacking – about 4,000,000 . However, backpacking showed consistent growth and reached 11,000,000 visitors by 2005.
