The provided bar chart and line graph illustrate the proportion of the tourists from Japan who travel overseas from 1985 to 1995 and Australia’s market shares of the Japanese tourist.
Overall, the general trends of both graphs were relatively parallel which indicate that there was a correlation between Japanese tourists going overseas affecting Australia’s tourism market shares.
A more detailed look at the graphs revealed that, there was a gradual growth from 1985 to 1989 between the Japanese tourist and Australia’s tourism market. However, even though the Japanese tourists kept increasing in 1990, there was a divergent trend of the market shares to 4%.
Additionally, in 1992-1993 the number of Japanese tourists who went overseas were steady at 12 million, meanwhile, the Australian market shares gently rose. In 1994 to 1995 the number of Japanese tourists substantially soared to its highest number of 14 million, however, the market shares considerably decreased to 6%.
