The line graph illustrates the proportion of visitors to 4 attractions in Scotland between 1980 and 2010. Overall, there were decreases in the share of tourists visiting aquariums and festivals, while the reverse pattern was seen in castles and zoos. Additionally, the castle generally was the most visited over the period, while the opposite was true for the zoo.
Regarding destinations that rose, the share of sightseers visiting the castle started at roughly 23%, after which it increased significantly and peaked at 45% in 1995, followed by a 10% decrease in the next five years, before slowing down and ending the period at shy of this level. Meanwhile, zoos were the least visited for most of the period, with only 10% of travellers in 1980, followed by some fluctuations for the next two decades, before doubling in the final year to be the second most visited.
As for categories with declines, one-fifth of travellers went to aquariums in 1980, with a peak of 35% five years later, prior to falling considerably to the lowest point at 10% in 2010, becoming the least visited, despite a slight recovery between 1990 and 1995. Similar changes, albeit to a much lesser extent, were seen in the figure for festivals, with a steady fall from 30% in 1980 to 20% in 2010.
