The number of tourists from Japan was highest in 1999, while the number from the U.S. was the lowest, at 1,400,000 and 800,000 respectively. However, the number of people from Japan experienced a significant decrease over the decade, dropping to 1,100,000 in 2009. At the same time, the number of tourists from the U.K. was 1,000,000 in 1999, rising to the highest among the three countries at 1,600,000.
The growth of people from the U.S. was also remarkable, up 700,000 during the 10 years. There was an increasing number of people who wanted to go backpacking, from 300,000 in 1999 to 1,000,000 in 2009. At the same time, the number of people who enjoyed staying at resorts was highest in 1999, at 1,600,000. It then soared to an all-time high of 2,500,000 in 2004. However, the number plummeted to a record low of 1,000,000 in 2009.
To conclude, the number of people who traveled from the U.K. and U.S. showed an upward trend from 1999 to 2009, while the number from Japan showed a downtrend. The number of people who chose backpacking is growing. Meanwhile, the number of people willing to stay at resorts rose briefly and then dropped sharply.
