The graph illustrates how many visitors traveled to 6 places listed in Australian World Heritage

between 1996 and 2000.

Overall, people tended to take more leisure time in the Great Barrier Reef, Blue Mountains,
Tasmania Wilderness, and Shark Bay in four years; especially, the data showed that the Great Barrier
Reef reached and maintained its peak in almost time. Meanwhile, that of Central Eastern Rainforest
Reserve and Macquarie Island had a downward trend.

Regarding the Great Barrier Reef, it started at 1.670.000 and then enormously increased to
2.950.000 before ending the period at 3.200.000. Similar changes can be seen in the figure for the
Blue Mountains and Tasmania Wilderness, but to lesser extents, there was a moderate increase
from 526.000 to 565.000 and from 450.000 to 475.000 in the former 2 years, after which
continuously experienced this tendency and gained 581.000 and 483.000 visitors in the latter 2
years, respectively. In addition, despite having a soar of 18.000 in 1998, the travelers of Shark Bay
were just 89.000 at the end of the period.

The number of visitors to Central Eastern Rainforest Reserve gradually leveled off by 20.000 every 2
years from 810.000 and consequently ended at 770.000 in 2000. Finally, although it saw a minimal
increase in the data of Macquarie Island, it just ended the period with a minority number – 330
visitors.
