The line graph below shows the percentage of tourists to England who visited four different attractions in Brighton. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The line graph compares the proportion of people to England visiting four various attractions in Brighton over a period of 30 years.
Overall, art gallery experienced the fast decline in the percentage of tourists to England over the period shown. In addition, while the numbers of visitors to festival and art gallery decreased, the figures for Pavilion and Pier increased.
In 1980, Festival was the most popular attractions, at about 30% of visitors. While the proportions of tourists travelling to Pavilion and Art Gallery were nearly similar, at 24% and 21% respectively, only 10% of tourists visited Pier, which was much lower compared to the other three attractions. In the following 15 years, Pavilion witnessed a dramatic growth and reached a peak of just below 50% of visitors- the highest figure recorded on the line graph.
In Pavilion, after increasing significantly in the percentage of tourists in 1995, its figure declined suddenly to just over 30% in 2010. While the proportion of visitors to Festival remained relatively stable over the 30- year period, Art Gallery’s figure saw a significant fall to about 8% in 2010. By contrast, there was a noticeable rise in the percentage of visitors to Pier with over 20%.
