The bar chart gives information about the number of overseas Japanese tourists between 1985 and 1995, and the line graph illustrates percentage of those going to Australia between 1984 and 1994.

The bar chart and the line graph demonstrate the number of

Japanese

travelling abroad (measured in millions) and Australia’s share of Japan’s

tourists

(measured in percentage) from 1985 to 1995 respectively. Clearly, the

Japanese

tend to travel abroad more and more over the years, which resulted in 1995 being the year with the largest number. Meanwhile, Australia experienced a fluctuation in an upward trend, and 1993 was when they received the most

Japanese

tourists

. As can be seen from the bar chart, the number of

Japanese

tourists

going abroad started out at around 5 million in 1985. From there, it underwent a steady increase and doubled in 1990 with 11 million

tourists

before ending up at approximately 15 million

at the end

of the period. Regarding the line graph, there was a surge in the proportion of

Japanese

travelling to Australia from 2 per

cent

to around 4.8 per

cent

between 1985 and 1988. In the next year,

however

, the country’s share of Japan’s

tourists

went down slightly to roughly 4,1 per

cent

, but

then

rose again and reached a high of more than 6 per

cent

in 1993,

then

stopped at exactly 6 per

cent

in 1994.
