The bar chart compares the international tourism expenditure of residents from seven countries in 2011 and 2012. Overall, China experienced an extraordinary rise and became the leading spender by 2012, while Canada consistently recorded the lowest figures.
In 2011, Germany topped the list at $85 billion, followed by the United States at $79 billion and China at $72 billion. By 2012, China’s spending soared to $102 billion, surpassing both Germany, which fell slightly to $83 billion, and the US, which increased modestly to $81 billion.
Among the remaining countries, the UK’s expenditure saw only a marginal increase from $49 to $50 billion. France was the only country, apart from Germany, to register a decline, slipping from $40 billion to $39 billion. Russia, in contrast, showed significant growth, rising from $30 billion to $41 billion, nearly catching up with France and the UK. Canada remained the lowest throughout the period, spending just $19 billion in both years.
In summary, while most countries experienced little change, China’s rapid growth and subsequent dominance in international tourism spending were the most notable features.
