The line graph illustrates the number of overseas visitors to three different areas in a European country from 1987 to 2007.
Overall, the number of visitors to the coast and the lakes increased significantly over the period, while the number of visitors to the mountains showed a gradual rise. Notably, the lakes experienced the most dramatic fluctuations.
In 1987, the coast was the most popular destination, attracting 40,000 visitors. However, the number of visitors to the coast initially declined to 35,000 in 1992 before experiencing a steady increase, reaching 75,000 by 2007. In contrast, the lakes began with 10,000 visitors in 1987, which surged to 40,000 by 1997, surpassing the mountains and the coast. The number of visitors to the lakes then peaked at 75,000 in 2002 before falling to 50,000 by the end of the period.
The mountains attracted the least number of visitors initially, with 20,000 in 1987. This number rose steadily to 30,000 in 1997 and remained relatively stable, reaching 35,000 by 2002 and maintaining that level until 2007.
In summary, while the coast and lakes saw significant increases in overseas visitors, the lakes also experienced considerable fluctuations. The mountains, however, showed a more stable and gradual increase in visitor numbers over the 20-year period.
