This line graph gives the number of foreign visitors who came to a European country from 1987 to 2007. Visitor numbers to three different places (the coast, the mountains and the lakes) were recorded for each year.
First, we can see that there was a general increase in the total number of visitors to this European country, from about 70 million in 1987 to about 155 million in 2007. But looking more closely at the number for each area, we can see some different patterns of change.
The number of visitors to the coast started at about 40 million in 1987, and then dropped slightly to 30 million in 1992. After this, it rose all the way up to 70 million in 2007. Visitor numbers to the mountains were only 10 million in 1987, but then it went through a period of dramatic increase. The number reached its peak at 75 million in 2002. By comparison, visitor numbers to the lakes did not show a very strong fluctuation. It received 20 to 30 million guests throughout the period.
Overall, we can see that the coast was the most popular destination among the three areas, and the lakes were the least popular.
