The bar chart compares the quantity of foreign excursionists who originated from Japan, measured in millions, while the line graph illustrates the proportion of those who visited Australia from 1985 to 1995.
Overall, Japanese tourists had a growing tendency to travel abroad during the period. A similar pattern was also witnessed in the rate of these visitors having journeys to Australia.
As the bar graph depicts, Japanese overseas trips happened more prevalent over the period shown. Precisely 5 million travellers from Japan experienced these excursions in 1985. This number increased roughly 1 million tourists per year, until reaching 11 million of that in the next 5 years, which was relatively twice the quantity of that in the first year. Although after that the rate of Japanese visitors to other countries recorded a slight decline, an upward trend still continued up to 15 million of these tourists at the end of the period.
Concerning the line chart, Australia’s share witnessed an unstable growth in the Japanese tourist market. At the beginning of the period, 2% of foreigners originating from Japan travelled to Australia. Subsequently, this proportion peaked at approximately 5% and then marginally decreased one fifth of that over half a decade. This was followed by the same pattern in the remaining years, particularly accounting for 6% in 1995.
