The given bar graph illustrates how many visitors went to Australia from three different countries in two separate years: 1995 and 2005, while the types of travels are described in the second chart, a line graph.
Overall, it is clear that the number of British and American travelers saw significant upwards trends, while the reverse is true for that of Japanese ones. Interestingly, there was a marginal difference in the figures for both types of guests initially, the indices intersected at one point, showing similar statistics at the end.
Starting with the data pertaining to the number of people who visited Australia, 800,000 British tourists went there in 1995; there were just under 1.6 million visitors from the UK, highlighting about a twofold difference, in 2005, however. Although the number of American visitors was as many as that of British guests in the latter year, the 1995 visitors were relatively lower, accounting for about 500,000. Initially, about 1.5 million people left Japan to travel, a country showing exceptional statistics, whereas the figure plunged to as low as one million at the end year.
As regards the chart illustrating the types of travels, it is clear that there were a couple of categories: staying at resorts and backpacking. Although the number of backpackers stood at well over 1.5 million in 1995, it reached a peak of about 2.5 million afterwards, highlighting the highest figure ever recorded. Coming to the final year, 2005, the index experienced a sharp downward turn to just over one million. As for those stayed at resorts, the number of them was much lower in the initial years, constituting about 400,000 and 800,000 respectively. However, the same index as backpackers is also shown by tourists who stayed at resorts..
