The line graph illustrates the proportion of tourists to Scotland who visited four different destinations in Edinburgh from 1980 to 2010.
Overall, the percentage of visitors to the Zoo and the Castle showed an upward trend, while the figures for the Aquarium and the Festival declined over the same period. Additionally, the Castle consistently remained the most popular attraction throughout most of the timeframe.
In 1980, about 25% of tourists who visited Scotland went to the Castle. This figure rose steadily, reaching a peak of 45% in 1995. Afterward, it declined slightly over the next ten years and settled at 30% in 2010. Additionally, the proportion of Zoo visitors fluctuated between 10% and 15% from 1980 to 2000. Over the next decade, the number of tourists continued to rise, reaching 20% in 2010.
On the other hand, the percentage of Aquarium visitors was 20% in 1980. This number increased dramatically over the next five years, reaching 35% and briefly surpassing the Castle. However, by 2010, it had fallen significantly to 10%. Meanwhile, the figures for the Festival steadily decreased from 30% in 1980 (the highest figure that year) to 20% by the end of the period.
