The bar charts delineate the age-related information of tourists traveling from Great Britain to Spain, spanning from 1983 to 2003. Overall, British people aging between 35 to 54 years old clearly remained the most predominant source of tourists for Spain, despite a downward trend throughout the recorded period. Additionally, all age groups displayed great fascination for visiting this country, while the reverse was true for those from 25 to 54 years old.
In terms of the three age brackets witnessing an increasing trajectory in the Spanish traveling pattern, adolescents emerged as the most notable one, with a rise of 11% to eventually reach 15%, indicating that Spain was a prime destination for young travelers. Similarly, middle-aged individuals exhibited significant attraction to this nation, as their proportion also surged by 10%, ultimately accounting for a quarter of the total proportion of tourists by 2003. Lastly, the percentage of children and juveniles going to Spain for recreational purposes also experienced an upward trend, but less dramatic, growing from 10% to 12%.
Turning to the remaining two groups, which gradually lost their interest, the decreasing pattern for the figure for people from 35 to 54 years old was the most remarkable, plummeting by 15% to end with merely 35% in 2003. Compared to the 25-to-34-year-old bracket, the trend for the latter was less considerable, since it started at 20% and culminated in 12%.
