This visual representation combines both a bar chart and a data table to illustrate how many foreign tourists visited X country and the level of income that different types of businesses earned in that nation from 2007 to 2008.
Overall, tourism from all regions of the world declined in 2008, and as can be seen, visitors from China and Japan topped the list, then a year later, Australia became the highest of all. Moreover, all forms of revenue also fell, but shops, some restaurants, and bars’ services accounted for the majority of revenue by 2008.
Starting with the bar chart, both sightseers from China and Japan and Australia reached a peak at 3,000 and 2,800 people in 2007, respectively. Although the former had the highest number, the latter’s rates had just an average of 2,300. Moving on to 2008, all these figures fell down significantly; with 2,500 tourists, Australia’s number surpassed China and Japan, and it became the country with the largest number of visitors, compared to the US and Canada, which had the lowest rates on the list.
Turning our attention to the table, in 2007, Hotels and Resorts were the business forms that brought in the largest revenue of all types of services, with an income of $3.5 million; second were Restaurants, Bars, and Souvenir shops, which were as high as the first feature, with $2.4 million. The amount of money that these four services earned in 2007 considerably dropped in 2008. There was a remarkable decrease of $3 million and $0.9 million in Hotels and Resorts and Transportation and Travel Agents, respectively, and these two features hit the lowest of the table by 2008. Surprisingly, Restaurants, Bars, and Souvenir shops turned out to be the highest, and Tour Guides, Small Vendors, and Other Services did too.
