The bar chart compares the figures for travelers coming to Australia from three different countries and the line illustrates two different categories of travels which are their preference from 1995 to 2005.
Overall, it is evident that the UK and US witnessed a sharp rise in the travelers arrival to Australia, whereas these figures in Japan saw a decline over the period. It is also noticeable that backpacking travel increased steadily over the period, meanwhile relaxing at resorts decreased significantly after reaching a peak in 2000.
On the first chart, UK tourists travelling to Australia reacted 0.8 million people, meanwhile US tourists coming to the same country were much lower with 0.5 million at the beginning of the period. Both figures then grew considerably to 1.4 and approximately 1.5 millions travelers respectively at the end of the period. By contrast, Japan experienced a dramatic drop in the number of tourists over the period, starting with the highest position in the graph with about 1.5 million, after which this figure fell dramatically to 1 million people.
On the second chart, backpacking tours had a humble beginning in 1995 with just 0.3 million tourists choosing them, then rose steadily over the years, reaching approximately 0.75 million and standing at 1.25 million in 2005. However, we witnessed a wild fluctuation in the figure for people staying at resorts. Starting with about 1.6 million in the first year, after which this figure rocketed and reached a peak with 2.25 million, then finally fell sharply to 1 million, lower than people choosing backpacking travel.
