The charts below give information about travel to and from the UK from 1979 to 1999, and the bar graph shows the most popular countries for UK residents to visit

The line graph illustrates the number of visitors from other countries visiting the

UK

and how many tourists in

this

country travelled overseas between 1979 and 1999. Meanwhile, the bar chart compares the percentage of

UK

travellers coming to 5 different nations in the year 1999.

It is clear that

there was an upward tendency in the sum of travels forth and back in the

UK

throughout the observed period.

Besides

, in 1999, France attracted the largest total of visitors from the

UK

,

while

the opposite was true for Turkey. As can be seen, in 1979, people living in the

UK

were not interested in travelling abroad as the figure for that stood at only 12

million

trips.

However

, it increased significantly to a peak of over 50

million

within 2 decades.

Likewise

, tourism in England at first was not well developed with only 10

million

journeys by international travellers to visit various destinations there.

Then

over the next 20 years, it climbed modestly to 15

million

.

Furthermore

, France was recorded to be at the top of the list with over 10

million

English visitors in 1999, followed by 9

million

in Spain.

By contrast

, the sum of that in the US and Greece was approximately 4

million

,

whereas

the proportion of Turkey took up just 2

million

.
