The pie charts illustrate the age distribution of UK travelers to Spain in 1983 and 2003. Units are measured in percentage.
Overall, while the percentage of the UK visitors to Spain in 35-54 and 25-34 years old decreased moderately, those for 16-24, 0-15, 55+ in age increased. The proportion of the UK visitors aged 16 to 24 witnessed a nearly quadruple growth, whereas those of 25-34 aged people declined about a half.
Representing fifty percent of the total visitors in 1983, the UK 35-54 years old travelers proportion was thirty percent higher than people in 25-34 age. Two decades later, a roughly similar cut in total tourists was experienced as the 35-54 age group descended to 35%, approximately tripling those for the 25-34 age group.
The data of sightseers in the 16-24 age bracket saw a significant rise, from just 4% in 1983 to 15% in 2003. Likewise, the figure of travelers aged 55 and over increased from 16% to 26%. On the other hand, the percentage of children (0-15) grew slightly, rising from 10% to 12%.
