The diagram below shows the age profiles of tourist on backpacking holidays and guided tours in New Zealand in 2005, and the pie chart gives the satisfaction rating of their stay.


SAMPLE ANSWER
The table provides a breakdown by selected age group of those on backpacking and guided tours in New Zealand in 2005, with the pie chart indicating whether they enjoyed their holiday.
As can be seen from the table, the age profile of people on the two different types of holiday varies considerably. For example, the majority (62 percent) on those on backpacking holidays belong to the 18-30 age range, but the same age group accounts for a small proportion (seven percent) of those on guided tours. However, the pattern is the complete reverse when it comes to 41-50 year-olds. These people make up 57 percent of those on guided tours, despite accounting for only ten percent of backpackers.
By contrast, the profile for both backpacking and guided tours include roughly equal proportions from the 31- 40 age group; 23 and 22 percent respectively.
It is clear from the pie chart that New Zealand is rated as a popular holiday destination among the majority of all holiday-makers, with a massive 83 percent from both groups starting they enjoyed their holiday.
