The presented infographics give information about the reasons and destinations of a hundred thousand British tourists travelled abroad within the period between 1994 and 1998. During the given period of time the number of UK residents travelled outside of the country increased steadily, except this figure dropped slightly to 21610 in 1995, from 22072 in 1994 to 28828 in 1998. The main reason for travelling was holidays; nearly third of all the tourists travelled abroad. The second and third reasons were business trips and visits to friend and families, respectively. Most of the surveyed tourists did not travel far from the UK since approximately 85 per cent of them went to West European countries throughout the given period. The least number of the British tourists visited the USA and Canada at the same time. The table and bar chart provide with information that between 1994 and 1998 the number of British tourists did not rise considerably and the most favorite destination was Western Europe.
