The table compares the proportions of the UK people of different age groups visiting Spain in 1981 and 2015.
Overall, the percentages of visitors aged 0-15, 16-24, and over 55 increased consistently over the period, with 0-15-year olds exhibiting a minimal rise, whereas the reverse was true for the remaining age groups. Of particular note is that travelers aged 25 to 35 recorded the highest shares in both years.
Starting with upward trends, the figure for Britons aged 16 to 24 was the lowest in 1981, representing a mere 4% before rising significantly to 15% in 2015. Meanwhile, the figure for visitors aged over 55 was four times as high as that of 16-24 age group in 1981 (16%). This was followed by a dramatic increase, reaching 25% at the end. However, there was a growth of only 2% from 10% initially in the percentages of 0-15-year-old people.
In stark contrast, the opposite trends were observed in the proportions of people from the UK aged 25-35 and 35-45. The figure for 25-35-year-olds stood at 50% at the beginning, thereafter it accounted a considerable downward trend, falling to 32% in 2015. Lastly, the percentage of people aged 35 to 45 declined by 10%, showing 12% at the end.
