The given bar charts demonstrate how the figures for tourists to the UK from several nations varied over a four-year period beginning in 1988.

In brief, the percentage of travellers from Mexico and China grew substantially while the opposite was true for Canada and others. Besides, the figure for Canada stayed at the highest throughout the period.

A quarter of people who went on a tour to the US in the initial year were Mexico’s residents, followed by a tenth from China. Next, a steep fall was seen in the proportion of Mexican visitors in the year 1990. By contrast, the figure for China rocketed, overtaking Mexico to account for more than a quarter. The upward trend of this country remained for the last two years. Meanwhile, Mexico surged suddenly and reached a peak of 26% at the end of the period.

It was Canada that dominated in the percentage of visitors to the US, at over a half in 1988, roughly five times as much compared to the initial figure for other nations. Thereafter, Canada dwindled for the entire period, gaining fourfold in comparison with the proportion of 4% for the other countries in the final year.
