The chart illustrates how people in a city queried their Tourist Information Office in the first half of 2011.
By and large, more and more people preferred asking their queries in person
while
there was a downward trend in the number of enquiries sent via email or letter.
With roughly 400 questions received, asking questions in person was the least popular in January 2011. However
, the number soared dramatically to 1200 and became by far the most popular way for the locals to get information from the office. Then
it kept rocketing until the end of the period when it reached 1900.
The same trend could be found in the telephone as it held the lead in January (at 900) before experiencing a slight drop in February by 100 queries. Then
it climbed up again to 1000 in March and remained unchanged until April, when its leading position was overtaken, before rocketing to 1600 in June.
Holding second place in January with nearly 800 inquiries enquired, the figure for enquiries received by letter or email decreased slightly to 700 in March. Following
this
, it witnessed a significant fall to just under 400 in May and remained stable, making it the least popular way to query for the local people.Submitted by weezel on
