The line graph illustrates the percentage of tourists who visited four attractions (art gallery, pavilion, pier, festival) in Brighton, UK between 1980 and 2010.
Overall, it is noticeable that the pavilion exhibited significant fluctuations, becoming the most popular attraction in the mid-1990s, before declining by the final year. By contrast, the festival, which was initially the most visited attraction, saw a slight decline over the period. Meanwhile, the art gallery experienced an initial rise followed by a sharp fall, whereas the pier gained popularity.
In 1980, the festival attracted the highest percentage of tourists at 30%. The figure showed a slow drop to 25% in 1995 but recovered to 27% by 2000 and remained unchanged thereafter. The pavilion, which started at 23% in 1980, witnessed a notable growth, surpassing the festival and art gallery before 1990 and peaking at 49% in 1995. However, it dipped dramatically, reaching 30% by 2010.
Conversely, after a sharp increase from 21% in 1980 to 38% in 1985, the art gallery’s visitors decreased sharply, returning to its initial level in 1990 and further to just 8% in 2010. By contrast, the popularity of the pier remained relatively stable at 10% between 1980 and 2000, after which it climbed steadily to 21% by the end of the period
