The line graph illustrates the proportion of tourists who visited four attractions -art gallery, pavilion, pier, festival- in Brighton, UK from 1980 to 2010.
Overall, it is noticeable that initially the festival was the most popular attraction, but it declined slightly over the period. Pavilion, on the other hand, experienced significant fluctuations, showing the highest percentage in mid-1995 before declining. Meanwhile, the art gallery and pier saw an opposite trend. Even though the former saw a sharp increase at the beginning, it declined gradually, whereas the latter gained its popularity throughout the period.
In 1980, 30% of tourists visited the festival. After falling slightly to 25% in 1995, the figure recovered to 27% by 2010. Conversely, the pavilion surged dramatically, surpassing the festival and art gallery before 1990, peaking at nearly half in 1995. However, the popularity of the pavilion dropped sharply and gradually to 30% by the final year.
Meanwhile, the visitors of the art gallery witnessed a quick and steep rise, from 21% in 1980 to 38% in 1985, but then it dipped consistently to just 8% in 2010, making it the least preferred attraction. By contrast, after remaining relatively stable at 10% over a 20-year period, pier visitors increased steadily to more than double by 2010.
