The line graph illustrates how many foreign tourists visited three areas including the coasts, the mountains, and the lakes in a country in Europe from 1987 to 2007.
Overall, the numbers of travellers to three places showed an upward trend and the lakes had the most significant growth. In addition, the coast was the most popular destination for overseas visitors throughout the period, except for the year 2002.
In 1987, the coast had the highest number of travellers, at around 40,000 while the figures for mountains and lakes were lower, at about 20,000 and 10,000, respectively.
After that, (1) the number of visitors to the coast dropped slightly to about 36,000 and then increased gradually to approximately 75,000 by 2007. In contrast, (2) there was an enormous rise in the figure for the lakes from 10,000 to a peak of 75,000, followed by a sudden decline to around 50,000 in 2007.
(3) The mountains experienced a moderate fluctuation between 20,000 and 30,000 in the first ten years, but then (4) a modest increase from 30,000 to 35,000 was recorded in this number until 2007.
