The bar chart presents a comparison of the age cohorts of British travellers in Spain in 1983 and in 2003.
Overall, readily discernible in the chart is that despite a remarkable downfall, visitors from 34 to 54 years old remained the most prevalent throughout 20 years. It is equally notable that except for the 34-54 years and 25-34 years groups, the other age brackets experienced an upward trend, albeit to varying extents.
Looking closely at the statistics in 1983, the figure for visitors aged 34–54 years old demonstrated clear dominance, accounting for half of the chart. Contradictorily, the minority share was represented by the 16–34 years age cohort, comprising less than 5%. Meanwhile, the three remaining age groups account for a cumulative share of approximately 50%, each grouping around 10% to 20%.
After 20 years, the percentage of British visitors aged 34–54 witnessed a significant drop of 15%, yet maintained its supremacy over other cohorts. Also, a downward trend was seen in the figure for the 25–34 years age group, culminating in only 12% in the last examined period, reaching parity with the youngest cohort, which contrastingly underwent a marginal rise. The figures for the 16–24 and 55+ years age brackets registered an analogous increase of 10%, arriving at 15% and 26%, respectively.
