Band 6+: You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. The line graph below shows the percentage of tourists to Scotland who visited four different attractions in Edinburgh. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words.

The line chart illustrates the proportion of visitors to four distinct tourist destinations in Edinburgh, Scotland, specifically Aquarium, Castle, Zoo, and Festival from 1980 to 2010.

Overall, Castle and Zoo showed an upward trend in the number of tourists, while Aquarium and Festival experienced a decrease. Notably, Castle was generally the most popular attraction among visitors during the period.

In 1980, approximately a quarter of visitors opted for Castle, which then increased dramatically to its peak of 45% in mid-1995. However, this figure experienced a significant decline to 30% by the end of the period, which was the highest among the four destinations. In contrast, Zoo attracted the smallest percentage of tourists in 1980, at 10%. Over the next two decades, it fluctuated between 9% and 15% before going up consistently by 10% in 2010.

Conversely, Aquarium and Festial showed an opposite trend. Starting at 30% as the highest, the percentage of tourists to Festival witnessed a slight decrease by 4% in 2000 before leveling off at 26% until the end of the period. Meanwhile, there was dramatic increase in tourist number to Aquarium from 20% in 1980 to 35% in 1985. Subsequently, the figure dropped rapidly to its starting point in 1990, followed by a significant fall to under 10% in 2010, marking Aquarium as the least preferred site.
