The line chart mentioned above compares and constates the data on foreign visitor numbers who took a tour to three various locations in a European country from 1987 to 2007, measured in thousands of people.
Generally speaking, the number of tourists increases over the surveyed period of time.
To begin with, when the first location, the coast, is taken into consideration, it can be clearly seen that this is the most well-known place with the highest number of tourists. At the begin in 1987, while it caught 40 thousand people, in twenty years later (in 2007), the visitor numbers increased significantly, nearly double (at exactly 75 thousand). However, there was a slight decrease by 5 thousand from 40 to 35 thousand in 1992.
Moreover, the mountains stand out as the second most popular tourist attraction. It is evident that throughout the twenty years periods, the number of visitors to this place seemed to be unchanged. In detail, in 1987, while the data of people taking a tour to mountainous areas was 20 thousand, at the end of 2007, it witnessed a slightly increase by around 15 thousand. Meanwhile, the number of tourists visiting the lakes rapidly increased and peaked at over 75 thousand in 2002. However, this data began to drop significantly five years later, estimating 50 thousand in 2007.
