The given line graph illustrates the changing patterns in how many foreign tourists
travelled to three different locations in a European country, namely the coast, the
mountains and the lakes during a course of 20 years, starting from 1987.
In general, it is evident that there was an upward trend in the number of foreign travellers
to three different areas in the European country. Despite witnessing an increase in the
figure for travellers, the mountains remained the least popular locations.
To elaborate, at the beginning of the period, standing at 40 thousands visitors, the coast
ranked first with the highest number of foreign travellers compared to 20 thousand of the
mountains and 10 thousands of the lakes. In the next 5 years, there was a noticeable
decrease of 5 thousands in the number of overseas tourists to the coast. At the same time,
a steady rise of 15 thousands was reported in the mountains in 2007 while that for the
coast fluctuated substantially to 50 thousands.
In 1992, the number of foreign travellers to the lakes and the mountains were equal, after
that the lakes surpassed the mountains. From 1997 onwards, the number of foreign
tourists travelled to the coast was more than the lakes, which was followed by the
mountains.
To be more specific, the data for the coast grew considerably to 75 thousands visitors in
the final year whereas that for the lakes reached their peak at 75 thousands in 2002 before
undergoing a downward trend to 50 thousands by the end of the period. During the same
period, the figure for the mountains remained relative unchanged at 30 thousands
between 1997 and 2002 before growing gradually in 2007.
