The pie charts compare the proportions of travellers who made four diverse visits to attractions in the UK in two distinct years: 1981 and 1999.
Overall, all figures experienced various patterns, with the rate for museums and galleries highlighting a substantial plummet, although having dominance in the number of tourists in early periods. While the reverse was true for theme parks, however visitors of historic houses and monuments remained unaltered. In addition, the lowest number of people visited wildlife parks and zoos, albeit a tangible growth.
In detail, the vast majority of tourists preferred visiting attractions, standing out from any other spots, though there was a considerable reduction. Starting at around 48% of people visited museums and galleries in 1981, before registering a dramatic fall by 10%, with maintaining its popularity at the end. At the same point, theme parks were the second largest preferable attractions, accounting for 32%, which was nearly 16% less than museums and galleries. Then, this trend saw a marked rise to 37% in the rate of people.
Unlike theme parks, wildlife parks and zoos were not chosen to visit, nor did their number show any noticeable change. Exactly 4% of individuals went to wildlife parks and zoos in the beginning, whereas 16% of travellers visited historic houses and monuments. Noteworthy, the percentage of latter had no level up, ending at 16%, while the former underwent a small growth to 9% in 1999.
