The bar chart illustrates the number of Japanese tourists traveling abroad from 1985 to 1995, while the line graph shows the percentage of them who visited Australia during the same period.
Overall, there was a steady increase in the number of Japanese tourists going overseas, and Australia’s share of this market also grew, albeit with some fluctuations.
In 1985, around 5 million Japanese people traveled abroad. This number rose consistently each year, reaching approximately 11 million in 1990 and peaking at over 15 million in 1995.
Australia’s popularity among Japanese tourists also increased. In 1985, only about 2% of Japanese travelers chose Australia. This percentage climbed steadily, reaching 6% by 1993. However, in 1989, there was a slight drop after a previous sharp increase. The peak was recorded in 1994 at around 6.5%, followed by a minor decline in 1995.
In conclusion, while the total number of Japanese tourists going abroad more than tripled, the proportion visiting Australia grew at a slower but still notable rate.
