The line graphs illustrate the proportion of tourists arriving in England to visit four different spots in Brighton between 1980 and 2010, expressed as percentages.
Overall, there are significant differences in the popularity of attractions visited by tourists. The proportion of tourists visiting the Art Gallery depicted a downward trend. It rose sharply from over 20% in 1980 to nearly 40% in 1985. However, it dropped quickly to 20% in 1990, and then fell to account for below 10% in 2010, the lowest number recorded among others.
In contrast, the figure for tourists visiting the Pavilion expressed a dramatic rise. It climbed gradually between 1980 and 1990, reaching an anticipated peak of 50% in 1995. However, it dropped significantly to over 30% in 2010. The trend for the Festival as an attraction signified a stagnant pattern, with the number of tourists remaining under 30% over the 30-year period. The number of tourists visiting the Pier fluctuated steadily. It stood between 10% and 20% from 1980 to 2005. After 2005, there was a slight increase in tourist visits at over 20% in 2010.
It can be understood that there were varied rises and falls throughout the period, with visits to the Pavilion going up gradually, peaking in 1995, then declining, while Art Gallery popularity declined over the time frame, except in 1985. The rate of tourists visiting the Festival did not exhibit any particular changes, and Pier popularity was steady yet upward, culminating in 2010.
