The line graph depicts the money allocated by UK visitors between 1980 and 2010. Whilst the two pie charts compare the distribution of visiting purposes in the years 1980 and 2010.
Overall, from the line graph, it can be seen that UK visitors spending surged after 30 years’ time, with a peak in 1995. Meanwhile, the pie chart indicates that business and visiting friends or relatives saw an upward trend while the reverse is true for holiday purposes and so-called “other” category.
In terms of the first chart, notwithstanding a decline of roughly 1000 pounds amid the years 1980 and 1985, the figure thereafter experienced a rebound which crossed the 9000 pounds threshold in 1985. The tourist allocation then fluctuated until the year 1992, ranged from 8900 to 9700 pounds, before peaked at 12000 pounds in 1996. Subsequently, the money accumulation then witnessed rapid changes in the next 25 years, at 9750 pounds in 2002, 11500 pounds in 2006, and ended up receiving 11100 pounds in 2010.
Regarding second chart, holiday reasons saw a decrease to 39.1% in 2010 after having 44.1% in 1980. “Other” rationales, albeit lower figures, comprised 16.6% in 1980, before witnessed a plummet of 6.8% in 30 years later. On the contrary, visits for business had a 2.1% climb, constituted 22.8% in 2010. Visits to friends or relatives also increased, but to a larger extent, rocketed from 18.7% in 1980 to 28.2% in 2010.
