The line chart illustrates the

number

of inquiries sent to the Tourist Information Office in a particular city via three means of communication, between January and

June

in 2011.

It is clear that

visitors to the city made more inquiries in

person

and via

telephone

,

while

written letters and

emails

became the least common choices.

Additionally

, the

number

of

enquiries

in

person

experienced the most dramatic change among the different options. In January, the Tourist Information Office received 900

telephone

enquiries

,

while

just under 800 letters and

emails

were received. Not many tourists chose to ask for information in

person

, with just over 400 queries. Over the next three months, the

telephone

still remained the most popular method of enquiry, with approximately 1000 queries. Meanwhile, the

number

of

enquiries

made in

person

saw considerable growth to 800, surpassing the figures for

emails

and postal

enquiries

. From March to

June

,

enquiries

in

person

were the most common method of inquiry. By

June

, the

number

of in-

person

enquiries

soared by more than 1,000 to peak at 1,900. During

this

period, there was

also

a significant rise in the figure for

telephone

enquiries

, from 1000 to 1600.

By contrast

, fewer people sent

emails

or letters to make enquires, with slightly less than 400 enquires in May and
