The two pie charts compare the percentage of UK residents who visited Spain in 1983 and 2003, categorized by age group.
Overall, the largest percentage of visitors in both years came from the 35-54 age group, although their share decreased over the 20-year period. Meanwhile, the number of visitors from both younger and older age groups increased, resulting in a more balanced age distribution by 2003.
In 1983, the 35-54 age group represented 50% of all UK visitors to Spain, the highest proportion. However, this figure dropped significantly to 35% by 2003. Similarly, the percentage of visitors aged 25-34 decreased from 20% to 12%. In contrast, the proportion of visitors aged 55 and over rose sharply, from 16% in 1983 to 26% in 2003, making it the second-largest group.
Children aged 0-15 accounted for 10% of visitors in 1983, with a slight increase to 12% in 2003. Additionally, a new age group, 16-24, appeared in 2003, comprising 15% of total visitors.
