SAMPLE ANSWER
The illustration outlines how many foreign tourists travelled to the UK and how many UK residents went out to travel between 1979 and 1999. Moreover, it also shows where those UK citizens went in 1999.
Overall, the influx of tourists in the UK was fewer than the number of British who travelled outside, and France was their favourite destination.
In details, 10 million tourists visited the United Kingdom in 1979 while around 13 million British spent their holidays out of the country. From 1979 to 1999, the outbound UK residents’ number was higher than the inrush of foreign tourists in the UK. The gap widens in later years and finally in 1999, almost 55 million British left the country to travel outside while just over 25 million other nationalities entered the UK border as tourists.
France was the favourite destination to British travellers as more than 10 million British travelled there in 1999. With around 2 million UK tourists, Turkey was their least preferred holiday place. Spain was visited by approximately 8 million UK travellers which made it the second most popular destination this year. USA and Greece received the third and fourth most-visited places by UK tourists with between 2 to 3 million tourists each.
