The given line graph compares the number of foreign travelers that
visited three different types of areas in a particular country in Europe
over a twenty-year period, commencing from 1987 to 2007. Overall, coastal areas attracted the largest number of foreign tourists in most of the years surveyed, while mountainous areas appeared to be the least popular for most of the time. In addition, the number of tourists traveling to all three areas increased over the period. Initially, in 1987, the number of foreign visitors travelling to beaches, which was 40 thousand people, was twice and four times as many as that of mountains and the Lakes respectively. Over the next ten years, the number of travelers going to the coastal areas and Lakes witnessed a similar trend, as these figures fell quickly in 1992 before growing to around 50 thousand and 35 thousand visitors in 1997 consecutively. Meanwhile, there was a considerable increase to 40 thousand in the figure for people choosing the mountain for their destination. Regarding the remaining years, the number of tourists going to the Lakes continued to increase, hitting the peak at over 70 thousand people in 2002, but later went down rapidly to just 50 thousand in the final year. Likewise, tourist’s number traveling to the coast witnessed a sharp rise to under 80 thousand in 2007, while that of the mountainous areas underwent a milder trend, finishing off at under 40 thousand people in the same year.
