Task 1: The charts below show the number of tourists to Australia from three countries in 1995 and 2005
and the types of travels between 1995 and 2005. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting
the main features, and make the comparisons where relevant.
The graphs present data on tourist arrivals in Australia from three nations in the years 1995 and 2005,
along with an overview of the preferred travel styles during this timeframe.
Generally, it is clear that the number of tourists from the UK and the USA showed a steady increase,
while the figure for Japan experienced a notable decline.
The first chart illustrates the number of tourists from three countries: the UK, the US, and Japan, visiting
Australia in 1995 and 2005. Specifically, the number of tourists from the UK was around 600,000 in
1995, but it increased significantly to 1,500,000 in 2005. Similarly, the number of tourists from the US
rose from about 500,000 in 1995 to around 1,500,000 in 2005. In contrast, the number of Japanese
tourists decreased from about 1,500,000 in 1995 to roughly 1,000,000 in 2005.
Regarding to the second chart, in 1995, the number of backpackers was approximately 800,000. This
figure increased sharply, reaching a peak of 2,500,000 in 2000, but then dropped significantly to around
1,000,000 in 2005. Meanwhile, the number of tourists staying at resorts showed steady growth, rising
from about 500,000 in 1995 to nearly 1,000,000 in 2005. This trend suggests a shift in travel preferences,
with a notable decline in backpacking after 2000, while resort stays became increasingly popular.
