The line graph illustrates the proportion of visitors to Scotland who visited four different attractions in Edinburgh between 1980 and 2010.
Overall, it can be clearly seen that there was an upward trend in the percentage of tourists to the Castle and Zoo, but the percentage of visitors to the Aquarium and Festival experienced a considerable fall over the period. Another interesting point is that the Festival attracted the most tourists in 1980, but in 2010 the proportion of visitors to Castle was the most popular of four attractions
As regards the first, Zoo was the most unknown attraction, with just 10% in 1980. After having fluctuated with still 10% in 2000, the figure increased sharply to 20% in 2010. Likewise, there was a significant leap of nearly 25% in the percentage of visitors to the Castle over the period of 15 years from 1980 to 1995. Then, after having dropped dramatically to about 35% in 2000, the figure continued to decrease slightly and finished at over 30%.
By contrast, the trend for the aquarium and festival was different from the castle and zoo. From the graph, the proportion of tourists to the Aquarium considerably rose to 35% in 1985. Then, there was a dramatic plunge to under 10% from 1995 to 2010. Furthermore, the Festival which was the most popular destination with 30% in 1980, experienced a steady decrease to below 20% at the end of period
