In contrast, Japan had the largest number in 1975;this number soared considerably to 12 million at the end, quadrupling its initial statistic, making it the dominant one throughout the period. South Korea and Europe had 2.9 million visitors for the former and 1.1 million for the latter in 1975. Then, South Korea saw a threefold increase while Europe underwent a four-fold increase in the number of visitors.
