Band 6+: The bar chart below shows how tourism to Australia from three different countries changed between 1995 and 2005. The line chart shows types of stay that tourists chose during the same period.

The diagram demonstrates the number of visitors from the UK, USA, and Japan who travel to Australia for 10 years and the kind of destination where they lived during the trip.

Overall people in the US and the UK have a preference for travelling to Australia in 1995. Besides that, backpacking witnessed an upward trend during the period shown.

To begin with 1995, the number of American and British tourists is equal, approximately 1 500 000 people, while they were higher than Japanese about 400 travellers. At the same time, the quantity of hotels and backpacking were both increasing gradually and in 2000, there was a slight fall in people who stayed at hotels. After one decade, the quantity of visitors dramatically decreased in the USA, which tripled the figure of the US in 1995. By contrast, Japan in 2005 had the same number of travellers as the US in 1995.

Regarding the line chart, the figure for staying at hotels reached a peak at 2 500 000 people; however, it went down slowly from 2000 to 2005. In the following 5 years, both fields of travel shared the same data at about 1.100.000 tourists.
