The chart and table point out the number of overseas tourists and the most popular visitor countries to Britain in 2004-5.
It is clear from the bar graph that for almost every period (Jan – Dec), 2004 was a better year in terms of numbers of visitors to Britain. In fact, the peak number over the two years was achieved in December 2004 (around 800 thousand visitors). The most significant period in terms of alteration was the month of September in both the years as it was approximately 610,000 in the previous given year which fell down to 315,000 in the latter year. The only period where the number of visitors was larger in 2005 was in March. The difference however was only marginal. Clearly, 2004 was a better year in terms of visitors to Britain.
Probing further, the table shows that Australia, Japan, the USA and South Korea were the major visitors to the UK over the same period. According to the chart, Japan was the only country to experience a negative change in percentage (-3%) but it still managed to remain in second place in 2005. Interestingly, India made the top 5 countries with a massive 13% change, taking the fifth position on the list of ‘top 5’ visitor countries.
