The charts indicate the proportion of the nationality of visitors to Australia from 2008 to 2012 and the factor contributing to their arrival.
As can be seen, while the number of visitors to Australia was consistently the highest, the opposite was true for those from other nations.
In 2008, the percentage of tourists coming from Europe was double the figure for those from other countries, which was 5%. Besides, there was a similarity between the number of New Zealand visitors and North America when the figures were both one-fifth. Furthermore, while the percentage of Asian people arriving in Australia was slightly more than a quarter, the figure for China was significantly lower. In 2012, the proportion of tourists to Europe and North America remarkably declined by 7%. Moreover, while there was a modest decrease in the number of visitors from China by 3%, the opposite was true for those coming from Asia and New Zealand.
Regarding the table, the factors education, employment and others made the visitors arriving to Australia was a small fraction. While the reason they came there for business was under a quarter, the figure for holiday was significantly higher, at 60%.
