The line graph displays data trends about overseas

visitors

to

mountain

, coast and lake areas of a European country from 1987 to 2007.

It is clear that

the

overall

amount of travellers increased throughout the years for all the considered regions, with a steep rise for coastal travel, modest growth for

mountain

areas, and a wild fluctuation for lake tourism. Coastal and

mountain

tourism enjoyed a roughly stable increase in the number of tourists throughout the considered time interval. The number of

visitors

in

mountain

areas almost doubled in 20 years, climbing from 20 000 people to slightly below 40 000 tourists. Coastal tourism saw a slight decrease from 1987 to 1992 but

then

surged by 40000

visitors

in 1992 to almost 80000 in 2007. The number of foreigners to the lake area of the European country steadily rose from 1987 to 1997,

then

steeply jumped from 40000 to roughly 80000 but

then

sank by almost 50% in the following ten years, reaching a total of 50000

visitors

in 2007.
