The charts below show the number of Japanese tourists travelling abroad between 1985 and 1995 and Australia’s share of the Japanese tourist market. Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown below.

The bar chart illustrates the

number

of

Japanese

tourists

who travelled abroad between 1985 and 1995,

while

the accompanying graph shows the proportion of

Japanese

tourists

visiting

Australia

during the same period.

Overall

, both figures demonstrate a clear upward trend. Regarding the first graph, it is evident that the

number

of

Japanese

tourists

travelling overseas grew significantly during the period given. Specifically, the figure started at around 5 million in 1985, and within five

years

, it soared to approximately 11 million. The

number

remained relatively stable for a couple of

years

before experiencing another noticeable increase, peaking at around 15 million in 1995.

Likewise

, the second graph illustrates an increasing trend in the proportion of

Japanese

tourists

visiting

Australia

. Prior to 1985, the percentage of

Japanese

tourists

travelling to

Australia

was negligible.

However

, over the following

years

, the figure grew rapidly.

For instance

, it accounted for approximately 5% in 1985, doubled in three

years

, dropped to around 4% in 1989, and

then

climbed again to reach its highest point in 1993, with over 6%. In conclusion, both figures demonstrate a clear upward trend in the

number

of

Japanese

tourists

travelling abroad and the proportion of those visiting

Australia

between 1985 and 1995
