The graph illustrates how many foreign tourists to three destinations in one European country from 1987 to 2007.
Overall, there was an increase in the number of travelers across all 3 areas throughout the period. It is evident that while the coast and the lakes tended to appeal to more and more visitors, the mountains’ attraction nearly remained the same from 1992 onwards.
From 1987 to 1992, the count of overseas tourists to the coast was the highest among the three, at precisely 40 thousand, after which it experienced a slight decrease to 35 thousand. Conversely, opposite trends were seen in the figures for the mountains and the lakes, starting at 20 and 10 thousand respectively, then increasing to the same number at about 25 thousand for both in the next five years.
Concerning the remaining 15 years of the period, tourist numbers to the mountain areas in this European country slightly rise by 10 thousand. Similarly, the figure for the coastal area saw the same change, but to a greater extent, growing considerably to more than double that of 1992, reaching approximately 75 thousand visitors in 2007. In addition, the number of foreign visitors to the lakes rose significantly to reach its peak at approximately 75 thousand in 2002 before dramatically dropping by about 25 thousand in the final year.
