The second chart shows their destinations over the same period. Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown below.

The figures presented below illustrate foreign travels made by UK residents with respect to

destination

and visit purpose from 1994 until 1998. Based on the data provided, in the given time span, travelling for pleasure has increased

whereas

the visits attributed to business reasons and family gatherings have remained the same. Contrary to popular belief the graph shows an increase in travel, regardless of

destination

, since 1994.

However

, it is worth noting that in recent years, there has been an increase in the popularity of areas, other than Europe and America, among travellers.

Overall

, it can be seen that the given information,

while

educating, lacks insight into specific

destination

points. Especially in regard to “other areas”. When it comes to travel destinations, factors

such

as

destination

safety and regional developments could affect the yearly data and should be considered for more accurate results.
