The graph illustrates the number of overseas visitors to three different areas in Europe, specifically, the coast, mountains, and lakes, between 1987 and 2007.
Overall, it can be seen that the lakes initially had the lowest number of visitors, but this number drastically increased. Meanwhile, the coast started with the lowest number of visitors and increased slowly over time, followed by the mountains, which remained stable in the first years and steadily increased.
In 1987, approximately 15,000 visitors visited the lakes and increasingly grew of numbers, followed by the mountains with 20,000 visitors. The mountains then remained stable until 1992. The lakes dramatically increased in numbers and reached their peak in 2002, with over 70,000 visitors as the highest number of visitors among other areas.
The coast, however, initially had the highest number of visitors in 1987, with approximately 40,000 people, but it had a slight decrease in 1992, nevertheless it gradually increases, reaching over 70,000 numbers of visitors in 2007 and became the area with most visitors. The lakes, however, after reaching its peak, dropped drastically in 2007, while the mountains remained as the area with least visitors.
