The given pie charts illustrate four types of accommodation chosen by holidaymakers in three separate years: 1988, 1998, and 2008. All figures are presented in percentages. Overall, while the percentage of tourists choosing to stay with relatives and at a campsite saw a downward trend, the figures for staying in hotels and short-term rental housing rose over the course of 20 years. Notably, staying with family accommodation remained a consistently popular choice throughout the years.
Looking at the trends that decreased, in 1988, staying with family accommodation took the lead at 52% and camping accommodation ranked second at 26%. Over the next ten years, the proportion of tourists who chose to go camping saw a steady decline, dropping by half to 13% in 1998 and then decreasing slightly to 12% in 2008, making camping the least preferred accommodation type at the end of the period. In contrast, although the percentage of travellers staying with relatives fell significantly to 44% in 2008, this option remained the most popular overall.
As for the increasing trends, at the beginning of the period, hotels and rented apartments were the least chosen types of accommodation, accounting for 15% and 7%, respectively. However, both categories witnessed a marked increase over the next two decades. By 2008, the proportion of holidaymakers choosing rented accommodation had tripled, reaching 22%, while the figure for staying at hotels also went up to 22%. These increases made both types tie for second place, just behind staying with family.
