In 1987, the coast was the most visited area, attracting about 40,000 tourists. The mountains, with 20,000 fewer visitors, while the lakes recorded the lowest figure, at around 10,000. Between 1987 and 1992, the number of visitors to the coast declined slightly to about 35,000, whereas the lakes saw a significant increase to nearly 40,000, surpassing the mountains, which experienced a slight rise to 25,000.
From 1992 to 2002, the lakes witnessed a sharp increase in visitors, peaking at 75,000. However, this was followed by a steep drop to 50,000 by 2007. In contrast, the coast recovered popularity after 1992, climbing steadily to reach around 75,000 visitors by the end of the period. Meanwhile, the number of tourists visiting the mountains grew gradually, rising from 25,000 in 1992 to approximately 35,000 in 2007, making it the least visited area overall.
