visitors

. In 1987, the mountains had the most travellers with an approximate
number
of 40,000 people.
However
, it underwent a slight decrease by roughly 5,000 people over the next 5 years.
In contrast
, the
number
of overseas
visitors
to the lakes and the coastal areas, which stood at approximately 20,000 and 10,000 respectively in 1987 had risen to 25,000 by 1992. And

to the lakes had the most striking changes. After gradually increasing for about 8 years, it skyrocketed and peaked at about 60,000, which is about threefold more than that of the coast in 2002. Unfortunately, it

number
of those visiting the coastal area, which was about 30,000 in 2007.
