The pie chart illustrates the distribution of visitors to four types of tourist attractions in Britain for the year 1999, represented as percentages. Theme parks, along with museums and galleries, were the most popular attractions, while the other two categories were less desired.
As shown in the chart, Britain was not seen as a prime destination for wildlife tourism, with theme parks – modern entertainment venues – drawing around three times as many visitors as zoos. Blackpool Pleasure Beach alone attracted nearly half of all visitors to theme parks, while the remaining attractions shared the other half fairly evenly.
Another major attraction of British cities that year was their historical significance. Visitors had two options for exploring the past: historic sites and museums. Ultimately, museums proved to be the more popular choice. Unfortunately, monuments suffered a considerable decline in visitor numbers, with their share being only half that of galleries and museums.
