The bar charts compare the percentage shares of the age groups of American tourists to Canada in 2000 and 2020.
Overall, the figure for visitors of the middle ages, 25-34 and 35-54 years old, declined significantly, while all the other categories saw increases throughout the period.
To begin with, in 2000, a half of the total amount was for 35-54 years old tourists, while a younger group (25-34 years) was in the second place with 20%. By 2020, however, both age groups lost substantial proportions: tourists between the ages of 25 and 34 dropped to 12%, and 35-54 years old ones lost 15 percentage points and made up just over a third of the total, but still dominated in overall.
In contrast, the oldest group (55+ years) accounted for 16% in 2000, and the figures for the youngest tourists (under 15 years old) and 16-25 years old visitors made up only 10% and 4%, respectively. Despite this, all three categories exhibited rises within two decades: 55+ years old people rose to 26% by 2020, 16-24 years old ones nearly fourfolded to 15% from 4%, and youngest group gained 2 percentage points to remain at 12% by the end.
