The line illustrates the proportions of England tourists to four different attractions in Brighton from 1980 to 2010.
Overall, while the Festival became less and less popular among tourists, the popularity of Pavilion and Pier witnessed an upward trend in the number of visitors. In addition, the quantity of tourists participating in the Festival remained relatively unchanged during the given period.
Starting at the highest point, at 30% in 1980, the dominance of Festival visitors was challenged as it fluctuated between 25% and 30% during the period, and ranked second in the final year. However, the opposite trend was seen in the number of tourists to Pavilion when it crossed the Art Gallery line by over 25% and hit its all-time high of around 47% but saw a significant decline at the end of the period to around 30%.
Starting at the lowest point, at 10% which was nearly half of the number of tourists to the Art gallery, the figure for Pier increased substantially and reached its peak of around 22%. While the two lines shared a similar trend when they fluctuated several times from 1980 to 2000, the number of tourists who visited the Art Gallery took a downswing and hit an all-time low by under 10% in the final year, becoming the lowest figure among the four.
