Band 8+: The line graph below shows the number of overseas tourists (in millions) who visited France, Spain, and Japan between 1990 and 2020. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The graph illustrates the amount of foreign people visiting three different countries (in two different continents) from 1990 to 2020.

Overall, there is an evident divergence between the number of tourist who visited Europe and Asia. For instance, France and Spain present a constant increase in tourism, with no drops at all in 30 years. However, the contrary occurs with the line representing data from Japan, as it shows a general decrease through time, with only a small period of growth from 1990 to 2000.

Also, it is important to note that, according to the graph, international tourism is a changing industry, as the numbers vary every 5 years in all countries and there is never a steady tendency.

So, to conclude, although those three countries seem to receive a high amount of people every year, there is no doubt that European countries have attracted more tourists in the last three decades in contrast with the situation in Japan.
