Band 6+: The graph below shows the number of short-term visitors to Australia from 4 different countries from 2010 to 2017. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The illustration below presents the number of short-term travellers to Australia from 4 distinct countries between 2010 and 2017.

Overall, it is evidently clear that people from New Zealand had generally travalled more to Australia, while the Chinese had shown gradual interest througout the period. Visitors from the USA and Japan remained irrespectively steady.

The highest proportion of travellers during the years was from New Zealand, as there were 1,200,000 who arrived in 2010, and visitors continued to increase over 1,400,000 by 2016. However, the number of Chinese people managed to surpass that of New Zealanders, as they were over 1,400,000 by 2017, despite having low arrivals during the inital years.

On the other hand, Americans and Japanese people did not experiment travelling to Australia as much as their counterparts, as only 600,000 people from the USA arrived between 2010 and 2013 irrespetively, and the number of arrivals had grown minimally to around 700,000 by 2017. Whereas people from Japan account for the least number of vistors, as only around 300,000 landed on Australia in 2010, and even though they went through minor fluctuations in the following years, they went back to their initial number by 2017.
