The charts give information about the total number of visitors to Australia from three different nations and kinds of travel from 1995 to 2005.
Overall, the number of travelers showed an incredible change in the period. In addition, travelers also often chose backpacking when visiting Australia.
Looking at the first chart, Japan had the highest number of people visiting Australia in 1995, at 1.5 million people. By contrast, travelling to this country was not the best choice for people living in the UK and US because the numbers of visitors from these two countries were roughly from 500 000 to 800 000 individuals. In 2005, while the UK and US saw a sharp increase by nearly 10 million people, the total number of travelers from Japan decreased to 1 million.
In the line chart, visitors tended to choose to stay at resorts instead of backpacking when travelling in 1995, at more than 1.5 million people. Five years later, staying at resorts peaked at nearly 2.5 million visitors, which was higher than backpacking more than 1.5 million individuals. However, in the last year of the period, the numbers of people choosing two types of travel were equal to each other, at approximately 1 million visitors.
