The graph below shows the number of overseas visitors to three different areas in a European country between 1987 and 2007.

The graph illustrates information about the

number

of overseas

visitors

to three different areas in a European country between the years 1987 and 2007: the

coast

, the

mountains

, and the lakes.

Overall

, from the graph, it is visible that the most visited place was the

coast

by the end of the period,

while

the

mountains

had the lowest

number

of

visitors

throughout the years.

According to

the information, in the beginning, the

number

of

visitors

who went to the

coast

was exactly 40,000.

This

number

steadily increased over the years, reaching approximately 75,000 by 2007, showing a consistent upward trend.

In contrast

, the

mountains

started with about 20,000

visitors

in 1987.

Although

the

number

of

visitors

fluctuated slightly, it showed a gradual increase, reaching around 30,000 by 2007. The lakes experienced a significant initial rise in

visitors

, starting from 10,000 in 1987 and peaking at about 75,000 in 1997.

However

,

after

this

peak, the

number

of

visitors

declined sharply to approximately 50,000 by 2007. To summarize,

while

the

coast

saw a steady increase in

visitors

and became the most popular destination by 2007, the lakes had a dramatic rise and fall in popularity. The

mountains

,

on the other hand

, had the least variation in the

number

of

visitors

, maintaining a relatively stable but lower level of tourism.
