The charts below show the number of Japanese tourists travelling abroad between 1985 and 1995 and Australia’s share of the Japanese tourist market. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The bar chart illustrates the number of Japanese citizens going aboard for traveling purpose in a ten-year period, from 1985 to 1995; while the line graph gives data on the percentage of Japanese tourists going to Australia.
Overall, the number of Japanese tourists going aboard rose year by year, and there was an increasing number of citizens of Japan choosing Australia as a traveling destination.
In 1985, only around 5 million Japanese went on vacation in foreign countries. This number steadily went up to between 10 and 12 million in 1990. After some fluctuations between 1990 and 1992, more and more Japanese traveled aboard; and by the end of the period, nearly 16 million Japanese spent their holiday outside Japan.
Among around 5 million people from Japan traveling aboard in 1985, only 2% of them went to Australia. Three years later, the proportion of Japanese tourists reached to 5%. Although Australia recorded two fluctuations, the percentage of tourists from Japan still increased in general and reached 6% in 1994.
