The pie charts illustrated the age range of British visitors choosing Spain as their destinations, compared between the year 1983 and 2003.
Overall, UK’s tourists from 35 to 54 years old were shown with the greatest interest in the Southern-European country both of the year mentioned. While the figure for people under 24 and over 55 grew, the remaining age groups witnessed a decline in percentage over the years.
In 1983, the 35-54 year-old British travelers took up half of the total proportion, followed by the 25-34 group at 20% and eldest group at 16%. Meanwhile, only 10% of the tourists were under 15 and 4% of them were between 16 and 24 years old.
In 2003, remaining at the first position as they were, the largest proportion group had their number decreased to 35%. The 25-34 aged visitors shared the same trend, as their percentage reduced by 8%, to 12%. Contrastively, the three other counterparts’ figures saw a noticeable increase. More than 26% of the total British travellers were over 55, compared to 12% of them who were under 15. The most remarkable growth was of the 16-24 age group, almost four-folded to take up a quarter of the chart in 2003.
