Provided is the line graph illustrating the number of foreigners traveling to three separate regions namely the coast, the mountains and the lakes in Europe over the periods of 20 years, starting from 1987.
Overall, it is apparent that there was an upward trend in three different categories and the number of travellers to the coast was most common during the period surveyed.
In 1987, the figure for the coastal areas stood at around 40 thousand, which was two times higher than that of the mountainous ones. Over the next ten years, the number of visitors to the mountains rose slightly to approximately 35 thousand. In terms of the coastal regions, the figure witnessed a moderate drop by 5 thousand and then increased dramatically to hit a high record of around 75 thousand over the period shown.
As regards the lakes, the figure started at only 10 thousand people in the first year and then saw a sharp growth to considerably 40 thousand. Over the next five years, the number of overseas visitors reached a peak at approximately 75 thousand. However, the figure for the lakes experienced a rapid drop by 25 thousand in the last year of the period.
