Test 1: Visitors who visited UK for different purposes
Academic
You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.
The graph below shows the number of overseas visitors who came to the UK for different purposes between 1989 and 2009. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
Write at least 150 words.
The line graph depicts the information about the number of foreign visitors who came to United Kingdom for business, holidays, and for meeting kith and kin from 1989 to 2009. Data has been calibrated in millions.
Turning into details, about 6.5 people traveled to the UK for holiday in 1989. This number rose rapidly and peaked at 9 million by 1997, but after that fell dramatically and reached 6.5 million in 2004. Interestingly, the number of visitors picked up again and again reached a high off 9 million in 2009.
Probing into deeper details, business and socializing trips to the UK showed almost similar trends, starting from 3.5 million and 5 million respectively in 1989 and then increased moderately and composed 7-8 million in 2009. Surprisingly, it fell gradually in the both cases.
Overall, it can be seen that an upward trend followed in all three reasons for visiting abroad in the given period of time.
