The line graph illustrates the proportion of tourists to England who visited four attractions in Brighton between 1980 and 2010.
Overall, the Pavilion experienced the most significant fluctuation, peaking in the mid-1990s, while the Art Gallery showed a general decline over the period. In contrast, the Festival remained relatively stable, and the Pier gradually increased despite some minor variations.
In 1980, about 30% of tourists attended the Festival, making it the most popular attraction at that time, whereas only around 10% visited the Pier. The Art Gallery and Pavilion accounted for approximately 22% and 24% respectively. By 1985, the Art Gallery rose sharply to nearly 37%, overtaking the Festival, which slightly decreased. However, after this point, the Art Gallery figures dropped considerably and continued to fall in the following years.
Meanwhile, the Pavilion saw a dramatic rise from 24% in 1980 to almost 48% in 1995, before declining steadily afterwards. The Festival, on the other hand, showed only slight changes, hovering around 25-28% throughout the period, which indicates it was consistently popular. The Pier, although starting from the lowest point, increased gradually and by 2010 it reached approximately 22%, surpassing the Art Gallery, which fell to below 10%.
Overall, it can be seen that while some attractions gained popularity, others became less attractive for tourists over time.
