The line graph below shows the number of annual visits to Australia by overseas residents. The table below gives information on the country of origin where the visitors came from. Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information given.

This

line graph presents the

number

of visits to

Australia

by foreign citizens per year

while

the table specifies the visits per country that took place in the year 1975 and 2005. There has been a gradual increase from 1975 to 1985

while

the

number

doubled from 1984 to 1995 as seen on the chart.

However

, compared to 1975, in 2005 the

number

of foreign

visitors

has increased drastically (Total 8.8 in 1975; 30.4 in 2005).

Furthermore

, an interesting fact is that among the six

countries

given, South Korea and Japan had the most

number

of foreign

visitors

to

Australia

in 2005 compared to 1975 (South Korea: 2.9 in 1975 and 9.1 in 2005; Japan: 3.2 in 1975 and 12.0 in 2005). Meanwhile, China having had 0.3 million people visiting

Australia

in 1975 but 0.8 million in 2005 which is quite less in terms of changes that took place over the years compared to other

countries

over the past years.

Overall

, compared to 1975 the

number

of foreign

visitors

has been increasing, reaching quite a high

number

of

visitors

of 32 million to

Australia

while

having a majority of

visitors

from South Korea and Japan.

On the other hand

, the least

number

of travels was from China but it is safe to say that the majority of the visits to

Australia

were from Asian

countries

than Western

countries

.
