The pie charts demonstrate the proportion of UK tourists who came to Spain in 1983 and 2003 divided by age groups. Overall, the statistics of the 25-34 and 35-54 age groups witnessed a downward trend while the opposite was true for the other age brackets. Moreover, it is apparent that the figures for people aged 35 to 54 were the largest in the given periods, despite its significant decline.
In 1983, most of the visitors to Spain from the UK were between the ages of 35 and 54, with their numbers constituted exactly 50% of the total travels. Meanwhile, the data for the 25 to 34 year old people stood at 20%, which was twice as high as that of the youngest age bracket. Simultaneously, the percentage of the oldest age group was 16%, compared to 4% for people in the 16-24 age bracket.
By the year of 2003, there was an increase in the share of travellers who were older than 55 and those who were between the ages of 16 and 25, with that for the former jumping dramatically to 26% and that for the latter rising sharply to 15%. A similar trend, but to a lesser extent, was observed in the data proportion of youngsters under 15 years of age, with their numbers climbing negligibly to 12%. Conversely, the percentage of UK people aged 25 to 34 that went to Spain in 2003 decreased moderately to 12%. In the same year, although the figures for the 35-54 age group dropped considerably to 35%, it still holds its position as the age bracket with the most travellers to Spain.
