The line graph illustrates the number of overseas visitors to three different areas (the coast, the mountains, and the lakes) in a European country between 1987 and 2007. The figures are given in thousands.
Overall, the number of visitors to the coast and the mountains increased over the period, while the lakes experienced a rise followed by a decline. The coast consistently attracted the highest number of visitors by the end of the period.
In 1987, the coast had the highest number of visitors at around 40,000, while the lakes and the mountains were less popular, with approximately 10,000 and 20,000 visitors, respectively. Over time, the number of visitors to the coast decreased slightly until 1992 but then increased steadily to reach about 75,000 in 2007, making it the most popular destination.
Visitors to the lakes saw a significant increase from 10,000 in 1987 to a peak of around 75,000 in 2002. However, this was followed by a sharp decline to about 50,000 by 2007. In contrast, the number of visitors to the mountains grew gradually from 20,000 in 1987 to roughly 35,000 by 2007, maintaining a relatively stable trend compared to the other two areas.
In summary, the coast remained the most visited area overall, while the lakes experienced fluctuations, and the mountains showed steady but modest growth in popularity.
