The pie charts illustrate the number of people in five different age groups travelling from the UK to Spain in 1983 and 2003.
Overall, while there was a decrease in the percentage of visitors aged 34-54 and 24-35 went to Spain, the opposite was true for the remaining age groups. In addition, it was also notable that the 34-54 age group had the highest percentage of visitors from the UK to Spain in both years. Meanwhile, the 16-24 age category had the lowest percentage of travelers, but it surpassed the 0-15 and 25-34 age groups in 2003.
As can be seen in the charts, the proportion of people aged 0-15 in the UK who visited Spain stood at 10% in 1983, after which it experienced a slight rise to 12% in 2003. By contrast, the figure for the 34-54 age group saw a different change, dropping significantly from 50% in 1983 to 35% in the next twenty years.
Regarding the three remaining age categories, about 16% of visitors in the UK aged over 55 went to Spain in the first year, followed by a considerable increase to 26% twenty years later. A different change can be seen in the figure for the 25-34 age group, which declined marginally by 8% during the twenty years. Meanwhile, the share of travelers aged 16-24 who visited Spain went up sharply from 4% in 1983 to 15% at the end of the period.
