The pie charts illustrate the percentage of visitors from the UK to Spain by age group in 1983 and 2003.
Overall, the rate of people who were aged 35-54 made up the majority of the chart in both years. While the proportion of older age groups (55+) and younger age groups(0-15 and 16-24) grew significantly over the years, the figures of those who were aged 25-34 and 34-54 saw a decrease.
In 1983, half of UK tourists who traveled to Spain were aged 34-54. However, this figure declined rapidly to 35% in 2003. Similarly, the proportion of individuals aged 25-34 experienced a gradual fall, accounting for one-fifths in 1983. After 20 years, this figure fell by 8% to 12%, becoming the smallest proportion of the pie chart.
The percentage of older visitors (55+) comprised 16% of the total in 1983. This figure saw an upward trend in the next 20 years, reaching 26%, becoming the second-largest category of the graph. The youngest age group (0-15) experienced a modest increase for 20 years, at 10% and 12%, respectively. In 1983, minor UK tourists aged 16-24 came to Spain, reaching only 4%. However, the rate grew dramatically, reaching 15% in 2003.
