The line graph compares the quantity of foreign travelers to three various places in Europe over a period of 20 years.
It is clear that the coastal areas attracted the largest quantity of foreign tourists over the period shown, while mountainous places appeared to be the least popular for the most part. It is also worth mentioning that the number of tourists traveling to all three different places increased over the period.
In 1987, the coastal areas were the primary destination in Europe, with 40,000 foreign tourists. Meanwhile, the mountainous places and the lakes accounted for 20,000 and 10,000 foreign visitors, respectively. Just five years later the lakes overtook the mountains in terms of the number of foreign visitors.
Moreover, the figure for the coastal places saw a small decrease, accounting for around 35,000 tourists in 1992, and then, those areas rose noticeably to a peak of 75,000 visitors for the rest of the period. By contrast, the lakes witnessed a dramatic increase of around 75,000 visitors in 2002, and the figure for those places dropped significantly for 50,000 travelers in 2007. Between 1987 and 2007 the mountainous areas saw only a slight increase to approximately 35,000 visitors.
