The provided graph illustrates the number of foreign tourists that visited three different areas in a European country during the 1987 and 2007 years. Overall, it is noticeable that there has been a significant growth in overseas visitors to lakes and coasts, while mountain areas have not experienced an important interest over the 20 years.
The coast and the lakes had experienced a considerable rise in guests, a growth from 40 thousand and 10 thousand in 1987 to about 50 thousand in 1997, with a tiny decline of approximately 5 thousand on the coast in the 1992 year. On the other hand, the number of visitors to mountains steadily increased by 10 thousand in the same 10-year period.
In the last 10 years, it is noticeable that the volume of visitors to lakes dramatically climbed to over 70 thousand in 2002, but at the end of 2007 it went into free-fall to 50 thousand. However, the cost had consistently gone up to over 70 thousand. Similarly, the number of overseas visitors in the mountains had slightly grown to 30 thousand in 2007.
